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.

To teach you how to find the parameters characterizing an object in a circular orbit around a much heavier body like the earth.
Karolina [17]

Answer:

a)  T² = (\frac{4\pi ^2}{GM})  r³

b) veloicity the dependency is the inverse of the root of the distance

kinetic energy  depends on the inverse of the distance

potential energy dependency is the inverse of distance

angular momentum depends directly on the root of the distance

Explanation:

1) for this exercise we will use Newton's second law

            F = ma

in this case the acceleration is centripetal

            a = v² / r

the linear and angular variable are related

           v = w r

we substitute

           a = w² r

force is the universal force of attraction

           F = G \frac{m M}{r^2}

we substitute

         G \frac{m M}{r^2} = m w^2 r

         w² = \frac{GM}{r^3}

angular velocity is related to frequency and period

         w = 2π f = 2π / T

we substitute

            ( \frac{2\pi }{T} ) = \frac{GM}{r^3}

the final equation is

             T² = ()  r³

b) the speed of the orbit can be found

           v = w r

            v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r^3} } \ r

            v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }

in this case the dependency is the inverse of the root of the distance

Kinetic energy

           K = ½ M v²

           K = ½ M GM / r

           K = ½ GM² 1 / r

the kinetic energy depends on the inverse of the distance

Potential energy

          U =

          U = -G mM / r

dependency is the inverse of distance

Angular momentum

          L = r x p

for a circular orbit

           L = r p = r Mv

           L =

         L =

The angular momentum depends directly on the root of the distance

What is difference between heat engine and carnot engine
labwork [276]

On a touchdown attempt, 95.00 kg running back runs toward the end zone at 3.750 m/s. A 113.0 kg line-backer moving at 5.380 m/s
dsp73

Answer:

(a) 1.21 m/s

(b) 2303.33 J, 152.27 J

Explanation:

m1 = 95 kg, u1 = - 3.750 m/s, m2 = 113 kg, u2 = 5.38 m/s

(a) Let their velocity after striking is v.

By use of conservation of momentum

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = (m1 + m2) x v

- 95 x 3.75 + 113 x 5.38 = (95 + 113) x v

v = ( - 356.25 + 607.94) / 208 = 1.21 m /s

(b) Kinetic energy before collision = 1/2 m1 x u1^2 + 1/2 m2 x u2^2

                                               = 0.5 ( 95 x 3.750 x 3.750 + 113 x 5.38 x 5.38)

                                               = 0.5 (1335.94 + 3270.7) = 2303.33 J

Kinetic energy after collision = 1/2 (m1 + m2) v^2                

                                                = 0.5 (95 + 113) x 1.21 x 1.21 = 152.27 J

Bambi the young dear was distracted Buy butterfly and jumped into the road in front of the two vehicles as shown in the diagram
bagirrra123 [75]

Speed of car A is given as

v_a = 70 mph

now we need to convert it into SI units

1 miles = 1609 m

1 hour = 3600 s

now we have

v_a = 70 *\frac{1609}{3600} = 31.3 m/s

now its distance from Bambi is given as

d_a = 350 m

time taken by it to hit the Bambi

t = \frac{d}{v}

t = \frac{350}{31.3}

t = 11.2 s

Now other car is moving at speed 50 mph

so its speed in SI unit will be

v_b = 50* \frac{1609}{3600}

v_b = 22.35 m/s

now its distance from Bambi is given as

d_b = 590 feet

as we know that 1 feet = 0.3048 m

d_b = 590*0.3048 = 179.83 m

now the time to hit the other car is

t_2 = \frac{179.83}{22.35}

t_b = 8.05 s

So Car B will hit the Bambi first
