Two trains face each other on adjacent tracks. They are initially at rest, and their front ends are 33 m apart. The train on the left accelerates rightward at 1.06 m/s². The train on the right accelerates leftward at 1.02 m/s².

(a) How far does the train on the left travel before the front ends of the trains pass?
m

(b) If the trains are each 150 m in length, how long after the start are they completely past one another, assuming their accelerations are constant?
s

Two trains (on separate tracks) travel toward each other, the first at 60.0 km/s and the second at 40.0 km/s. Both turn on their whistle, the first one emitting a frequency of 200 Hz and the second one emitting a frequency of 220 Hz. What frequencies do they each receive if the speed of sound in air is 330 m/s? Hint: Draw a diagram or do this one in steps. Is the source or the observer moving?

Two trains, each having a speed of 30 km/h, are headed at each other on the same straight track. A bird that can fly 60 km/h flies off the front of one train when they are 67 km apart and heads directly for the other train. On reaching the other train it flies directly back to the first train, and so forth. (We have no idea why a bird would behave in this way.) What is the total distance the...

Two identical blocks of mass M = 2.60 kg each are initially at rest on a smooth, horizontal table. A bullet of very small mass m = 20 g (m << M) is fired at a high speed v. = 120 m/s towards the first block. It quickly exits the first block at a reduced speed of 0.40 v, then strikes the second block, quickly getting embedded inside of it. All the motion happens on the x-axis. (a) find the...

Two trains are traveling toward each other at 30.6 m/s relative to the ground. One train is blowing a whistle at 580 Hz. (Give your answers to at least three significant figures.) (a) What frequency will be heard on the other train in still air? (b) What frequency will be heard on the other train if the wind is blowing at 30.6 m/s toward the whistle and away from the listener? (c) What frequency will be heard if the wind...

Suppose there is a bee farm and an apple farm adjacent to each other in Village A. The bee farmer produce honey by raising bees, which creates external benefits for the apple farmer because bees help improve pollination of apple trees. Suppose that the bee farmer has the profit-maximizing output level as raising 10 units of bees, bringing $600 of profits by selling the honey. With 10 units of bees helping the pollination, the apple farmers have $400 of profits....

Two speakers face each other, and they each emit a sound of wavelength (lambda). One speaker is 180 (degrees) out of phase with respect to the other. If we separate the speakers by a distance1.5 (lambda),how far from the left-most speaker should we place a microphone in order to pick up the loudest sound? Ignore reflections from nearby surfaces. Select all that apply. 3/4 lambda 0 lambda 1/2 lambda 1/4 lambda 1 lambda
