A stationary police car emits a sound of frequency 1200 hz that bounces off a car on the highway and returns with a frequency of

1250 hz. the police car is right next to the highway, so the moving car is traveling directly toward or away from it. (a) how fast was the moving car going?

First, since the echo frequency is greater, the car must be roaming to the police car. 
This is for the reason that the car is "running over" its own wave fronts, creating the wavelengths tinier, and henceforth increasing the frequency. 

The trick here is to understand that the relative speed between the cars is half of the speed of the echo for the reason that the echo is returning to the police car at the similar speed as the sound wave trips to the moving car. 

It would also appear that the speed of sound has been expected to be 337 m/s 

So if v is the moving car's velocity, the correct formula to use is: 

2v / 337 = (1250/1200) - 1 
2v = 14.04 m/s 
v = 7.02 m/s

Jose is loading his luggage into his car so that he can go to visit his grandmother. He lifts his suitcase up a 10 m staircase i
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The work done on the suitcase is, W = 600 J

Explanation:

Given,

The average force exerted by Jose on his suitcase,  F = 60 N

Jose carried the suitcase to a distance, S = 10 m

The work done on the suitcase is given by the relation

                           <em>W = F x S</em>

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                            W = 60 N x 10 m

                                 = 600 J

Hence, the work done on the suitcase is, W = 600 J

A cube of side 3.56 cm has a charge of 9.11 μ C placed at its center. Calculate the electric flux through one side of the cube
Nady [450]
Flux=q/e0
e0=8.85*10^-12
!!! Cube has 6 sides, so flux through one side is equal to total flux/6
Ans=9.11*10^(-6)/((8.85*10(-12))*6)=(approximately)1.72*10^5Nm^2/C
