If you stand up in a big room and echo, your voice will echo from the walls. As long as the room is empty. Since the speed of sound is constant, depending on air density, the more humid the air the faster and farther sound travels. The speed of sound is constant, you could measure the time it takes for your voice to echo off the walls. The same thing happens with Doppler radar, but it’s not voice, it has higher frequency signals.<span> </span>

Doppler Radar uses Doppler Effect as a principle to measure velocities, detect the presence of objects, identify meteorological phenomena and their intensity levels. This radar emits a continuous radio signal that allows the radar to differentiate between objects that are stationary and those in motion. This radar can be used, for example, to measure the speed of a particular object and to indicate its location, so that it is widely used in traffic surveillance.

Doppler radar is the most widely used type of weather radar that is currently of utmost importance for atmospheric monitoring. It is also employed for example in agriculture, air traffic and weather forecasting. Information gathered by radar assists meteorologists in early diagnosis of natural disasters.

Doppler effect, used by these radas, is a physical phenomenon observed in waves emitted or reflected by a source. It is perceived, for example, when listening to the sound of an ambulance passing by an observer. As the ambulance approaches, the tone becomes more and more acute, and as it moves away it becomes more serious. What happens is that we perceive a relative frequency, which is not the same frequency as the wave was emitted.

You place an ice cube of mass 7.50×10−3kg and temperature 0.00∘C on top of a copper cube of mass 0.540 kg. All of the ice melts,
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The value is T_c  =  12 .1 ^oC

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the ice cube is m_i  =  7.50 *10^{-3} \  kg

The temperature of the ice cube is T_i = 0^o C

The mass of the copper cube is m_c  =  0.540 \  kg

The final temperature of both substance is T_f  =  0^oC

Generally form the law of thermal energy conservation,

The heat lost by the copper cube = heat gained by the ice cube

Generally the heat lost by the copper cube is mathematically represented as

Q =  m_c  *  c_c *  [T_c  -  T_f ]

The specific heat of copper is c_c  = 385J/kg \cdot  ^oC

Generally the heat gained by the ice cube is mathematically represented as

Q_1 =  m_i * L

Here L is the latent heat of fusion of the ice with value L  =  3.34 * 10^{5} J/kg

So

Q_1 =  7.50 *10^{-3} * 3.34 * 10^{5}

=> Q_1 =  2505 \ J

So

2505  =  0.540  *  385 *  [T_c  - 0 ]

=>    T_c  =  12 .1 ^oC

A hollow cylinder of mass 2.00 kg, inner radius 0.100 m, and outer radius 0.200 m is free to rotate without friction around a ho
Aneli [31]

Answer:

h=2.86m

Explanation:

In order to give a quick response to this exercise we will use the equations of conservation of kinetic and potential energy, the equation is given by,

\Delta PE_i + \Delta KE_i = \Delta PE_f +\Delta KE_f

There is no kinetic energy in the initial state, nor potential energy in the end,

mgh+0=0+KE_f

In the final kinetic energy, the energy contributed by the Inertia must be considered, as well,

mgh = (\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2)

The inertia of the bodies is given by the equation,

I=\frac{m(R_1^2+R^2_2)}{2}

I=\frac{2(0.2^2+0.1^2)}{2}

I=0.05Kgm^2

On the other hand the angular velocity is given by

\omega =\frac{v}{R_2}=\frac{4}{1/5} = 2rad/s

Replacing these values in the equation,

(0.5)(9.8)(h) =\frac{1}{2}*0.5*4^2+\frac{1}{2}*0.05*20^2

Solving for h,

h=2.86m

Serggg [28]

Answer:

a = 1 m/s²  and

Explanation:

The first two parts can be seen in attachment

We use Newton's second law on each axis

Y axis

      Ty - W = 0        

      Ty = w

X axis

     Tx = m a

With trigonometry we find the components of tension

    Sin θ = Ty / T

    Ty = T sin θ

    Cos θ = Tx / T

    Tx = T cos θ

We calculate the acceleration with kinematics

   Vf = Vo + a t

   a = (Vf -Vo) / t

   a = (20 -10) / 10

   a = 1 m/s²

We substitute in Newton's equations

     

  T Sin θ = mg

  T cos θ = ma

We divide the two equations

  Tan θ = g / a

  θ = tan⁻¹ (g / a)

  θ = tan⁻¹ (9.8 / 1)

  θ = 84º

We see that in the expression of the angle the mass does not appear therefore you should not change the angle

Which graph shows the correct relationship between kinetic energy and speed?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer: D

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = 1/2mV^2

From the formula above, we can deduce that kinetic energy is proportional to the square of speed. That is,

K.E = V^2

Graphically, the relationship isn't linear but a positive exponential. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
