Answer:
The speed of the baseball is approximately 19.855 m/s
Explanation:
From the question, we have;
The frequency of the microwave beam emitted by the speed gun, f = 2.41 × 10¹⁰ Hz
The change in the frequency of the returning wave, Δf = +3190 Hz higher
The Doppler shift for the microwave frequency emitted by the speed gun which is then reflected back to the gun by the moving baseball is given by 2 shifts as follows;
Where;
Δf = The change in frequency observed, known as the beat frequency = 3190 Hz
= The speed of the baseball
c = The speed of light = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s
f = The frequency of the microwave beam = 2.41 × 10¹⁰ Hz
By plugging in the values, we have;
The speed of the baseball, ≈ 19.855 m/s
Answer:
It increases proportionally
Explanation:
The gravitational force between the Earth and an object on its surface is given by
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
m is the mass of the object
R is the Earth's radius
In this problem, the Earth's mass is increased, while the diameter (and therefore, the radius) doesn't change. From the equation, we see that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the Earth's mass: therefore, if the mass is increased, the force will increase as well by the same proportion (for example, if the mass is doubled, the force will double as well)
