How does the doppler effect change wave speed?

Physics

zaharov [31]3 years ago

It doesn't change wave speed at all. 

It only changes the wavelength perceived by the observer
if he is moving toward or away from the source.

Notice that if one observer is moving toward a source, and another one
is moving away from the same source, then one observer would see an
abnormally long wavelength, and the other one would see an abnormally
short wavelength, both from the same source.

The Doppler Effect ... like beauty ... is in the eye of the observer.

Block A, with a mass of 4.0 kg, is moving with a speed of 2.0 m/s while block B , with a mass of 8.0 kg, is moving in the opposi
Anon25 [30]
Consider velocity to the right as positive.

First mass:
m₁ = 4.0 kg
v₁ = 2.0 m/s to the right

Second mass:
m₂ = 8.0 kg
v₂ = -3.0 m/s to the left

Total momentum of the system is
P = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
   = 4*2 + 8*(-3)
  = -16 (kg-m)/s

Let v (m/s) be the velocity of the center of mass of the 2-block system.

Because momentum of the system is preserved, therefore
(m₁+m₂)v= -16
(4+8 kg)*(v m/s) = -16 (kg-m)/s
v = -1.333 m/s

Answer:
The center of mass is moving at 1.33 m/s to the left.

A sky-diver jumps from a stationary balloon. His initial downwards acceleration is 10m/s².
Tatiana [17]

Explanation:

a. The force acting down is gravity, on Earth gravity is 10 m/s^2. When the skydiver jump, the acceleration will start out as -10 m/s^2, but it will eventually equals the air resistance , which is called terminal velocity.
