Since you are also on the moving train, the pitch should remain constant.

How would the boy standing on hears the sound by a man in a moving train blows the train's horn. the train is moving away from a boy standing on the ground.?

The pitch (frequency) would be lower due to Doppler shift.


Why does one train seem to move when other train is already moving?

Relative motion. To talk about a train moving at a certain speed usually means that the train is moving at a certain speed relative to a stationary observer (relative to the ground). This however also means that a passenger traveling in said train would experience the ground (and every other stationary object) as the moving object. This is why a stationary train may seem to be moving to passengers of an already moving train.


Where is the place where a train would stop?

At the train station


A passenger walks toward the rear of a moving train Describe her motion as seen from a reference point on the train Then describe it from a reference point on the ground?

If the train is moving at 50 mph and the passenger is walking at 2 mph, people on the train would see her moving at 2 mph, while people outside the train would see her moving at 48 mph. 50mph - 2 mph = 48 mph


Would you know you're moving in a train if there was no friction and you could not see out of the train ie can't see objects going past?

If the train is moving at a constant velocity, and therefore in an intertial reference frame, then, no, you could not tell that you were moving.


how would an observer on train a witch is moving at nearly the speed of light view o'clock on train be which is moving at the same speed and in the same direction?

The clock on train B would appear to be the same width and to run at the same rate


What happens to sound of a train whistle as a train approaches and passes you?

This is known as the Doppler effect. As the train approaches you, the wavelength of the sound waves it emits are compressed, and therefore the whistle sounds higher. When the train is moving away, the wavelengths are extended, causing the whistle to sound lower. If the train were not moving at all, the pitch you would hear from the whistle would be somewhere between the high and low pitches you hear when the train is moving.

If an electric train is travelling 80 km an hour north and the wind is blowing 40 km east what way is the steam going to travell?

If the wind wasn't blowing and the train was moving it would blow south. If the train was stopped and the wind was blowing east the steam would be blowing east. Because the train is moving and the wind is blowing it would be moving both to the south and the east. diferent answer by another person me... An electric train does not have steam!!!!!!!
