How does a doppler radar work?

Physics

Rus_ich [418]3 years ago
7 0
A Doppler radar is a specialized radar that uses the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance. It does this by bouncing a microwave signal off a desired target and analyzing how the object's motion has altered the frequency of the returned signal.

A 750 kg car is moving at 20.0 m/s at a height of 5.0 m above the bottom of a hill when it runs out of gas. From there, the car
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy at the height = 1/2 m v²

= 1/2 x 750 x 20²

= 150000 J

Its potential energy = mgh

= 750 x 9.8 x 5

=36750 J

Total energy = 186750 J

Its total kinetic energy will be equal to 186750 J , according to conservation of mechanical energy

If v be its velocity at the bottom

1/2 m v² = 186750

v = √498

= 22.31 m /s

The light from many stars can be seen from earth. but there is a time delay between the time the light is emitted from the star
mrs_skeptik [129]
Stars are located at a distance which are measured in terms of light years. Light year is an Astronomical unit used to measure distance between distant Celestial bodies. 
1 light year = 9460730472580<span>800 metres 
But no star is located at a distance of 1 light year. Some stars are located at millions of light years and light travels ~ 3 x 10</span>⁸ m/s. Thus light takes time to reach our atmosphere.

Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a gravitational force of 12 units. If the mass of Object 2 is tripled, then the new grav
olasank [31]

Explanation:

Fgravity = G*(mass1*mass2)/D².

G is the gravitational constant, which has the same value throughout our universe.

D is the distance between the objects.

so, if you triple one of the masses, what does that do to our equation ?

Fgravitynew = G*(3*mass1*mass2)/D²

due to the commutative property of multiplication

Fgravitynew = 3* G*(mass1*mass2)/D² = 3* Fgravity

so, the right answer is 3×12 = 36 units.
