A 70.9-kg boy and a 43.2-kg girl, both wearing skates face each other at rest on a skating rink. The boy pushes the girl, sendin

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of boy $m_b=70.9\ kg$

mass of girl $m_g=43.2\ kg$

speed of girl after push $v_g=4.64\ m/s$

Suppose speed of boy after push is $v_b$

initially momentum of system is zero so final momentum is also zero because momentum is conserved

$P_i=P=f$

$0=m_b\cdot v_b+m_g\cdot v_g$

$v_b=-\frac{m_g}{m_b}\times v_g$

$v_b=-\frac{43.2}{70.9}\times 4.64$

$v_b=-2.82\ m/s$

i.e. velocity of boy is 2.82 m/s towards west

A physicist drives through a stop light. When he is pulled over, he tells the police officer that the Doppler shift made the red

Alik [6]

Answer:

Speed of physicist car is 0.036c or 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s .

Explanation:

Doppler Effect is defined as the change in frequency or wavelength of the wave as the source or/and observer moving away or towards each other.

In this case, the Doppler effect equation in terms of wavelength is :

$\lambda_{s} = \lambda_{o}\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } }$ ......(1)

Here $\lambda_{s}$ is source wavelength, $\lambda_{o}$ is observed wavelength, v is speed of the observer and c is the speed of light.

Given :

Source wavelength, $\lambda_{s}$ = 660 nm = 660 x 10⁻⁹ m

Observed wavelength, $\lambda_{0}$ = 555 nm = 555 x 10⁻⁹ m

Substitute these values in the equation (1).

$555\times10^{-9} } = 660\times10^{-9} \sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } }$

$\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } } = 0.84$

${\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } } = (0.84)^{2} = 0.7056$

$1-\frac{v}{c}=0.7056+0.7056\frac{v}{c}$

$\frac{v}{c}=\frac{0.2944}{8.056}$

$v = 0.036c=0.036\times3\times10^{8}$

v = 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s
