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

Humans first traveled to the Moon in a spacecraft in 1969. What happened as the spacecraft traveled farther from Earth?
horsena [70]

Answer:

The answer is C)The force of gravity from Earth acting on the spacecraft decreased because the distance from Earth increased.

Explanation:

Gravity, a force, is dependent on the mass of the object exerting the gravity and the distance of an outside object from that object. The larger the object, the more gravity it will exert on an outside object. This force decreases as you move away from the object, but it will always still exist and never be equal to 0.
