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.

By what factor will the Electrostatic Force between two charged objects change when the amount of charge on both objects doubles
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

F' = (4/9)F

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by Coulomb's Law:

F = kq₁q₂/r²   -------------------- equation (1)

where,

F = Electrostatic Force

k = Coulomb's Constant

q₁ = magnitude of first charge

q₂ = magnitude of second charge

r = distance between charges

Now, when the charges and distance altered as follows:

q₁' = 2q₁

q₂' = 2q₂

r' = 3r

Then,

F' = kq₁'q₂'/r'²

F' = k(2q₁)(2q₂)/(3r)²

F' = (4/9)kq₁q₂/r²

using equation (1):

<u>F' = (4/9)F</u>

Review 1: A plane is located x = 40 miles (horizontally) away from an airport at an altitude of h miles. Radar at the airport de
-Dominant- [34]

Explanation:

Let h is the height of the plane above ground. x is the horizontal distance between the ground and the airport. Let s(t) is the distance between the plane and the airport. So,

s(t)^2={h^2+x^2}...........(1)

Given, h = 4, x = 40 and s(t) = -20 mph

Differentiate equation (1) wrt t

2s(t)s'(t)=2x(t)x'(t)

x'(t)=\dfrac{s(t)s'(t)}{x(t)}

When x = 40, s(t)=\sqrt{40^2+4^2}=40.19\ m

x'(t)=\dfrac{-240s(t)}{x(t)}

x'(t)=\dfrac{-240\times 40.19}{40}

x'(t)=-241.14\ m/s

So, the speed of the airplane is 241.14  m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
