Answer:

Frequency shift, f = 5270.66

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity of the car, v = 66 mph = 29.50 m/s

Frequency transmitted by a police radar, F_s=26.8\ GHz=26.8\times 10^9\ Hz

Frequency shift is given by :

f=\dfrac{2vF_s}{c}

f=\dfrac{2\times 29.50\ m/s\times 26.8\times 10^9\ Hz}{3\times 10^8\ m/s}

f = 5270.66 Hz

So, the frequency shift is 5270.66 hertz. Hence, this is the required solution.

A block of mass m1 = 3.5 kg moves with velocity v1 = 6.3 m/s on a frictionless surface. it collides with block of mass m2 = 1.7
maxonik [38]
First, let's find the speed v_i of the two blocks m1 and m2 sticked together after the collision.
We can use the conservation of momentum to solve this part. Initially, block 2 is stationary, so only block 1 has momentum different from zero, and it is:
p_i = m_1 v_1
After the collision, the two blocks stick together and so now they have mass m_1 +m_2 and they are moving with speed v_i:
p_f = (m_1 + m_2)v_i
For conservation of momentum
p_i=p_f
So we can write
m_1 v_1 = (m_1 +m_2)v_i
From which we find
v_i =  \frac{m_1 v_1}{m_1+m_2}= \frac{(3.5 kg)(6.3 m/s)}{3.5 kg+1.7 kg}=4.2 m/s

The two blocks enter the rough path with this velocity, then they are decelerated because of the frictional force \mu (m_1+m_2)g. The work done by the frictional force to stop the two blocks is
\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
where d is the distance covered by the two blocks before stopping.
The initial kinetic energy of the two blocks together, just before entering the rough path, is
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2
When the two blocks stop, all this kinetic energy is lost, because their velocity becomes zero; for the work-energy theorem, the loss in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the frictional force:
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2 =\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
From which we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:
\mu =  \frac{v_i^2}{2gd}= \frac{(4.2 m/s)^2}{2(9.81 m/s^2)(1.85 m)}=0.49

A solid object has a mass of 104 kg and a volume of 1,278 m3. What is its density?
MrMuchimi
The density is 81.4 g/m3. Before you start plugging numbers into the density formula (D=M/V), you should convert 104 kg to grams, which ends up being 104,000 grams. Then you can plug in the 104,000 grams and 1,278 m3 into the formula. When you divide the mass by the volume, you get a really long decimal, which you can round to 81.4 g/m3, or whatever place your teacher wants you to round to.

Which statement is true for a car that first goes around a curve of radius r at a constant speed v, and then goes around the sam

Centripetal force is equal to (mv^2)/r
The way I use to answer these question is to set every variable to 1
m=1
v=1
r=1
so centripetal force =1
then change the variable we're looking at
and since we're find when it's half we could either change it to 1/2 or 2, but 2 is easier to use
m=1
v=2
r=1
((1)×(2)^2)/1=4
So the velocity in the 1st part is half the velocity in the 2nd part and the centripetal force is 4× less
The answer is the centripetal force is 1/4 as big the second time around
