A speeding car is pulling away from a police car. The police car is moving at 30 m/s. The radar gun in the police car emits an e

lectromagnetic wave with a frequency of 20.0 x 109 Hz. The wave reflects from the speeding car and returns to the police car where the frequency is measured to be 4750 Hz less than what was emitted. The speed of light is 3 x 108 m/s. How fast is the speeding car going?

Answer:

65.625 m/s

Explanation:

F=20\times 10^9 Hz

\Delta F=F_r-F_t=4750 Hz

c = Speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Relative speed

v=\frac{\Delta F}{2F}\times c\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{4750}{2\times 20\times 10^9}\times 3\times 10^8\\\Rightarrow v=35.625\ m/s

Relative speed = 35.625 m/s

Velocity of speeder = Velocity of police car + Relative speed

⇒Velocity of speeder = 30 + 35.625 = 65.625 m/s

∴ Velocity of speeder is 65.625 m/s

Vector A with arrow, which is directed along an x axis, is to be added to vector B with arrow, which has a magnitude of 5.5 m. T
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Magnitude of vector A = 0.904

Explanation:

Vector A , which is directed along an x axis, that is

                   \vec{A}=x_A\hat{i}

Vector B , which has a magnitude of 5.5 m

                   \vec{B}=x_B\hat{i}+y_B\hat{j}

                   \sqrt{x_{B}^{2}+y_{B}^{2}}=5.5\\\\x_{B}^{2}+y_{B}^{2}=30.25

The sum is a third vector that is directed along the y axis, with a magnitude that is 6.0 times that of vector A                    \vec{A}+\vec{B}=6x_A\hat{j}\\\\x_A\hat{i}+x_B\hat{i}+y_B\hat{j}=6x_A\hat{j}

Comparing we will get

                  x_A=-x_B\\\\y_B=6x_A

Substituting in x_{B}^{2}+y_{B}^{2}=30.25

                  \left (-x_{A} \right )^{2}+\left (6x_{A} \right )^{2}=30.25\\\\37x_{A}^2=30.25\\\\x_{A}=0.904

So we have

    \vec{A}=0.904\hat{i}

Magnitude of vector A = 0.904

What does it mean when work is positive?
jenyasd209 [6]
Both positive work and negative work have meaning: Positive work follows when the force has a component parallel to the displacement. Positive work adds energy to a system. Negative work follows when the force has a component opposite or against the displacement.

In a lab, a student drags a shoe across the floor at constant speed. If the coefficient of static friction between the floor and
Svetllana [295]
<span>B) 0.6 N
   I suspect you have a minor error in your question. Claiming a coefficient of static friction of 0.30N is nonsensical. Putting the Newton there is incorrect. The figure of 0.25 for the coefficient of kinetic friction looks OK. So with that correction in mind, let's solve the problem. The coefficient of static friction is the multiplier to apply to the normal force in order to start the object moving. And the coefficient of kinetic friction (which is usually smaller than the coefficient of static friction) is the multiplied to the normal force in order to keep the object moving. You've been given a normal force of 2N, so you need to multiply the coefficient of static friction by that in order to get the amount of force it takes to start the shoe moving. So: 0.30 * 2N = 0.6N And if you look at your options, you'll see that option "B" matches exactly.</span>
