In summary, an ambulance traveling at a constant speed along a road parallel to the railroad passed the train, and the frequency of the siren's sound was measured on the train. It was observed that frequency f' just after the ambulance stopped was the same as the frequency when the ambulance approached from far behind the train.

some exam question(help help !)

Q1.A train traveling at 30 km/h is approached from behind by an ambulance sounding its siren.The ambulance ,which is traveling at a constant speed along a road parallel to the railroad,passes the train and subsequently stops at a distant point ahead of the train .The change in the frequency of the siren'sound was measure on the train .It was observed that frequency f' just after the ambulance stopped was the same as the frequency when the ambulance approached from far behind the train

Q2 What is the relationships between the magnitudes of f' and f ,the frequency of the siren 's sound source ?also ,what was the approximate speed at the ambulance traveled?from 1-6 below choose the correct combination

Q2:As show in the figure below ,circuit A is formed by connecting two direct power sources(electromotive force :15v and 5 v ) and two capacitor (capacitor 1uF and C),and circuit B is formed by connecting the same two power sources and two resistors (resistance:1kohm and R) .The connection point between the two power sources is grounded ,and the electric potential at that point is zero.The internal resistance of the power sources is negligible

Q4 The electirc potential needs to be kept at zero at point a (connection between the two capacitor)in circuit A and at point b(connection between the two resistors) in circuit B.What values of C and R necessary to satisfy this condition ?from 1-6 below choose the best condition .

A charge Q is placed at the origin (0,0) of an x-y plane.The proportionality constant of Coulomb 's law is donated as Ko .

Q1 ,From 1-5 below choose the answer that correctly represents field E at point (x.y) ,where E=(Ex,Ey).here Ex is the x-component of E and Ey is the y-component of E .

1. What is the format of the exam question?

The format of the exam question will vary depending on the subject and level of the exam. However, it typically includes a prompt or question, followed by a space for the answer to be written or typed.

2. Can I bring any materials or aids to the exam?

It is important to check with your professor or exam instructions to see if any materials or aids are allowed during the exam. Some exams may allow the use of a calculator or notes, while others may not allow any aids.

3. How much time will be allotted for the exam?

The time allotted for the exam will also vary depending on the subject and level of the exam. It is important to check the exam instructions or ask your professor for the specific time limit. Typically, exams range from 1-3 hours.

4. Will the exam be multiple choice or essay-based?

This will depend on the subject and level of the exam. Some exams may be entirely multiple choice, while others may include a combination of multiple choice and essay questions. Again, it is important to check the exam instructions for this information.

5. Are there any specific topics or areas I should focus on when studying for the exam?

It is always a good idea to ask your professor or check the course syllabus for specific topics or areas that will be covered on the exam. This will help you focus your studying and be better prepared for the exam.
