Answer: V = 15 m/s

Explanation:

As  stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. The observed frequency the car will be experiencing will be addition of the two frequency. That is,

F = 2.1 × 10^10 + 1030 = 2.100000103×10^10Hz

Using doppler effect formula

F = C/ ( C - V) × f

Where

F = observed frequency

f = source frequency

C = speed of light = 3×10^8

V = speed of the car

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

2.100000103×10^10 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 -V) × 2.1×10^10

2.100000103×10^10/2.1×10^10 = 3×108/(3×10^8 - V)

1.000000049 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 - V)

Cross multiply

300000014.7 - 1.000000049V = 3×10^8

Collect the like terms

1.000000049V = 14.71429

Make V the subject of formula

V = 14.71429/1.000000049

V = 14.7 m/s

The speed of the car is 15 m/s approximately.

What is the gravity of sombrero galaxy compared to earth?
Aleksandr [31]
the Sombrero galaxy, is one of the largest mosaics ever assembled from Hubble observations. The hallmark of the nearly edge-on galaxy is a brilliant, white, bulbous core encircled by thick dust lanes comprising the spiral structure of the galaxy. This dust lane is the site of star formation in the galaxy. The center of M104 is thought to be home to a massive black hole. I hope this helped

What frequency is received by a stationary mouse just before being dispatched by a hawk flying at it at 24.7 m/s and emitting a
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

   f' = 3665.51 Hz

Explanation:

given,

speed of the hawk = 24.7 m/s

frequency of screech emitted by the hawk = 3400 Hz

speed of sound = 331 m/s

By Doppler's effect

f' = (\dfrac{v}{v-v_s}})f

f' is the frequency received by the mouse

v is the speed of the sound

v_s is the speed of the hawk

now,

f' = \dfrac{341}{341-24.7}}\times 3400

   f' = 1.078 x 3400

   f' = 3665.51 Hz

The frequency received by the stationary mouse is equal to 3665.51 Hz

A force of 20 N is exerted on a box with a mass of 15 kg. if friction exerts a force of 4 N on the box, at what rate does the bo
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

1.06 metres per second squared

Explanation:

since friction acts against foward force

20 N - 4 N = 16 N

use Newtons 2nd law F=ma Solve for a:

a= F÷m

= 16 ÷ 15

= 1.06 metres per second squared
