Discuss the limitations of using the Doppler shift to determine an object's speed.

Physics
1 answer:
pantera1 [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer and Explanation:

Limitation of Doppler shift :

The Doppler impact is relevant when the speeds of the wellspring of sound and spectator are considerably less than the speed of sound. The movement of both the spectator and the source is along a similar straight line.When movement is not in straight line or velocity is not much less than speed of light then we can not use Doppler shift

This is the limitation of Doppler shift to determine the object distance

You are removing branches from your roof after a big storm. You throw a branch horizontally from your roof, which is a height 3.
mart [117]

Answer:

The initial velocity in the x-direction with which the branch was thrown is approximately 10.224 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters of the motion of the branch are;

The height from which the branch is thrown = 3.00 m

The horizontal distance the branch lands from where it was thrown, x = 8.00 m

The direction in which the branch is thrown = Horizontally

Therefore, the initial vertical velocity of the branch, u_y = 0 m/s

The time it takes an object in free fall (zero initial downward vertical velocity) to reach the ground is given as follows;

s = u_y·t + 1/2·g·t²

Where;

u_y = 0 m/s

s = The initial height of the object = 3.00 m

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

∴ s = 0·t + 1/2·g·t² = 0 × t + 1/2·g·t² = 1/2·g·t²

t = √(2·s/g) = √(2 × 3/9.8) = (√30)/7 ≈ 0.78246

The horizontal distance covered before the branch touches the ground, x = 8.00 m

Therefore, the initial velocity in the horizontal, x-direction with which the branch was thrown, 'uₓ', is given as follows;

uₓ = x/t = 8.00 m/((√30)/7 s)

Using a graphing calculator, we get;

uₓ = 8.00 m/((√30)/7 s) = (28/15)·√30 m/s ≈ 10.224 m/s

The initial velocity in the horizontal, x-direction with which the branch was thrown, uₓ ≈ 10.224 m/s.

Answer:

Plane will 741.6959 m apart after 1.7 hour                    

Explanation:

We have given time = 1.7 hr

So if we draw the vectors of a 2d graph we see that the difference in angles is   = 102^{\circ}-65.3^{\circ}=36.7^{\circ}

Speed of first plane  = 730 m/h

So distance traveled by first plane = 730×1.7 = 1241 m

Speed of second plane = 590 m/hr

So distance traveled by second plane = 590×1.7 = 1003 m

We represent these distances as two sides of the triangle, and the distance between the planes as the side opposing the angle 58.6.

Using the law of cosine, r^2 representing the distance between the planes, we see that:

r^2=1241^2+1003^2-2\times 1003\times 1241cos(36.7)=550112.8295

r = 741.6959 m

A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 1.69 cm. At what positive displacement from the midpoint of its
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: 0.0146m

Explanation: The formula that defines the velocity of a simple harmonic motion is given as

v = ω√A² - x²

Where v = linear velocity, A = amplitude = 1.69cm = 0.0169m, x = displacement.

The maximum speed of a simple harmonic motion is derived when x = A, hence v = ωA

One half of maximum speed = speed of motion

3ωA/2 = ω√A² - x²

ω cancels out on both sides of the equation, hence we have that

A/2 = √A² - x²

(0.0169)/2 = √(0.0169² - x²)

0.00845 = √(0.0169² - x²)

By squaring both sides, we have that

0.00845² = 0.0169² - x²

x² = 0.0169² - 0.00845²

x² = 0.0002142

x = √0.0002142

x = 0.0146m
