Explanation:
From Newton's second law:
F = ma
Given that m = 4 kg and a = 8 m/s²:
F = (4 kg) (8 m/s²)
F = 32 N
If m is reduced to 1 kg and F stays at 32 N:
32 N = (1 kg) a
a = 32 m/s²
So the acceleration increases by a factor of 4.
Constant velocity means the netto force = 0, therefore F(gravity) = F(astronaut).
175N divided by 87,5kg = 2.00kg/N
f' = frequency observed by the police car after sound reflected from the vehicle and comes back to police car = 1250 Hz
f = frequency emitted by the police car = 1200 Hz
V = speed of sound = 340 m/s
v = speed of vehicle = ?
frequency observed by the police car is given as
f' = f (V + v)/(V - v)
inserting the values in the above equation
1250 = 1200 (340 + v)/(340 - v)
v = 6.9 m/s
The only real difference is that common seismic waves travel through the ground and sound waves travel through the air. If you had a pipe attached to granite and you were listening to it, you might detect both.
