Really, Gundy ? ! ?
The formula for the car's speed is given and discussed in the box. The formula is
v = √(2·g·μ·d)
Then they <em>tell</em> you that μ is 0.750 , and then they <em>tell</em> you that d = 52.9 m . Also, everybody knows that 'g' is gravity = 9.8 m/s² .
They also tell us that the mass of the car is 1,000 kg, and they tell us that it took 3.8 seconds to skid to a stop. But we already <em>have</em> all the numbers in the formula <em>without</em> knowing the car's mass or how long it took to stop. The police don't need to weigh the car, and nobody was there to measure how long the car took to stop. All they need is the length of the skid mark, which they can measure, and they'll know how fast the guy was going when he hit the brakes !
Now, can you take the numbers and plug them into the formula ? ! ?
v = √(2·g·μ·d)
v = √( 2 · 9.8 m/s² · 0.75 · 52.9 m)
v = √( 777.63 m²/s²)
v = 27.886 m/s
Rounded to 3 digits, that's <em>27.9 m/s </em>.
That's about 62.4 mile/hour .
Answer:
1).
2). Toward us
3).
4). Toward us
5).
6). Away from us
7).
8). Away from us
Explanation:
Spectral lines will be shifted to the blue part of the spectrum if the source of the observed light is moving toward the observer, or to the red part of the spectrum when it is moving away from the observer (that is known as the Doppler effect).
The wavelength at rest is 121.6 nm ()
Then, for this particular case it is gotten:
Star 1:
Star 2:
Star 3:
Star 4:
Star 1:
Toward us
Star 2:
Toward us
Star 3:
Away from us
Star 4:
Away from us
Due to that shift the velocity of the star can be determine by means of Doppler velocity.
(1)
Where is the wavelength shift, is the wavelength at rest, v is the velocity of the source and c is the speed of light.
(2)
<em>Case for star 1 :</em>
<em></em>
Notice that the negative velocity means that is approaching to the observer.
<em>Case for star 2 :</em>
<em>Case for star 3 :</em>
<em>Case for star 4 :</em>
The speed of a mechanical wave depends on the mechanical properties
of the medium through which the wave is traveling.
The speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the electrical properties
of the medium through which the wave is traveling.
It's pretty well unanimous for choice <em>A</em> .
