A high speed train travels through a station without slowing. An accordionist playing on the platform notices that the pitch of the train’s horn is different as it approaches compared to the pitch after it has passed. Furthermore she notices that the ratio of the frequencies is 3/2. 6. Find a value for the speed of the train. 7. The accordionist also notices that when the train is precisely 14.4 m away from her the sound level is 110 dB. Find a value for the time after it passes the station when the sound level is 50 dB

A commuter train passes a passenger platform at a constant speed of 38.1 m/s. The train horn is sounded at its characteristic frequency of 340 Hz. (a) What overall change in frequency is detected by a person on the platform as the train moves from approaching to receding? (Indicate whether the frequency increases of decreases with the sign of your answer.) Hz (b) What wavelength is detected by a person on the platform as the train approaches? m

The Queensland Government proposes to develop a high-speed train to link Gold Coast and Brisbane. The Government would like the train to travel at speeds in the range of 150-225 km/hour. It is expected that the train will run from Coolangatta to South Bank stopping at Robina, Nerang, Helensvale, and Coomera before running express to South Bank. The Government would like the elapsed time for travel between the Coomera and South Bank station to be approximately 30 minutes. Your company...

1. A submarine (sub A) travels through water at a speed of 8.00 m/s, emitting a sonar wave at a frequency of 1,400 Hz. The speed of sound in the water is 1,533 m/s. A second submarine (sub B) is locate such that both submarines are traveling directly towards each other. The second submarine is moving at 9.00 m/s a) What frequency is detected by an observer riding on sub B as the submarines approach each other? b) The submarines...

The mass of a high speed train is 4.5×105kg, and it is traveling forward at a velocity of 8.3×101m/s.
The mass of a high speed train is 4.5×105kg, and it is traveling forward at a velocity of 8.3×101m/s. Given that momentum equals mass times velocity, determine the values of m and n when the momentum of the train (in kg⋅m/s) is written in scientific notation.​
