A train is moving with a speed of 54 km/h. A monkey is running on the roof of a train against its motion with a speed of 5 ms. w.ut the train. The velocity of the monkey as observed by a man on the ground is :

A

`20 ms^(-1)`

B

`15ms^(-1)`

C

`10ms^(-1)`

D

`5ms^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

`v_t=54km//h`=15 m/s,
vel. Of monkey w.r.t to train `v_(m-t)=-5m//s^(-1)`
`impliesV_(m)-v_(t)=-5 implies v_(m)=+10 m//s`
`:. V_(m,obs)=v_(m)-v_(obs)=10-0=10 m//s`

A train standing in a station yard, blows a whistle of frequency 400 Hz in still air. The wind starts blowing in the direction from the yard to the station with a s speed of 10ms^(-1) . What are the frequency , wavelength and speed of sound for an observer standing on the station's platform? Is the situation exactly identical to the case when the air is still and the observer runs towards the yard at a speed of 10 ms^(-1) ? The speed of sound in still can be taken as 340 ms^(-1)
