An alert physics student stands beside the tracks as a train rolls slowly past. he notes that the frequency of the train whistle is 496 hz when the train is approaching him and 478 hz when the train is receding from him. using these frequencies, he calculates the speed of the train. what value does he find? (assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.)

6.455 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

Frequency of train whistle, f = 496 Hz

Frequency observed, f' = 478 Hz

Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

Now,

From the instant Doppler's effect, we have the relation

here,

v is the speed of the sound

is the speed of the train

or

1.037 × ( 343 - ) = 343 +

or

355.91 - = 343 +

or

12.91 =

or

 = 6.455 m/s

one person pulls 90n one way and the other has 100n pulling the other way.

so the net force = 90 - 100 = -10n,

or the ans can be 10n if the picture shows -90n and 100n instead.

that the claims meet official rules.

don't misinterpret the claims
