Police radar guns measure the speed of moving vehicles by transmitting electromagnetic waves at a vehicle and detecting a Dopple

r shift in the reflected wave. Suppose a police radar transmits at a frequency of 26.8 GHz and receives a wave reflected from a car moving toward the radar at 66.0 mph. Find the frequency shift

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 particle of mass m sits at rest at x = 0. At time t = 0 a force given by F = Fe^(-t/T) is applied in the +x direction; F and T
wlad13 [49]

Explanation:

Given:F=m\ddot{x}=Fe^{-\frac{t}{T}}

Solving for \ddot{x}:

\ddot{x}=\frac{F}{m}e^{-\sqrt{\frac{F}{m} } t}

where:

T=\sqrt{\frac{m}{F}}

Integrating to get \dot{x} with initial conditions \dot{x}(0)=0:

\dot{x}=\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}}-\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}} e^{-\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}} t}

Integrating to get x with initial conditions x(0) = 0:

x=-1+\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}} t+e^{-\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}}t}

When t=T:

x=-1+\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}}\sqrt{\frac{m}{F}}+e^{-\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}}\sqrt{\frac{m}{F}}}=\frac{1}{e}

\dot{x}=\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}}-\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}} e^{-\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}}\sqrt{\frac{m}{F}}}=\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}}(1-\frac{1}{e})

The maximum speed limit on interstate 10 is 75 miles per hour. how many meters per second is this
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

<h2>33.53m/s</h2>

Explanation:

Given the maximum speed limit on interstate 10 as 75 miles per hour, to get the speed in meter per seconds, we need to convert the given speed to meter per seconds.

Using the conversion 1 mile = 1609.34m and 1 hour = 3600 seconds

75 miles perhour = 75miles/1 hour

75miles/1 hour (in m/s) = 75miles*1609.34m* 1 hour/1mile * 1 hour * 3600s *

= 75 *1609.34m* 1 /1 * 1 * 3600s

= 120,700.5m/3600s

= 33.53m/s

<em>Hence the maximum speed limit on interstate 10 in metre per seconds is 33.53m/s</em>

. A stationary mass explodes into two parts of mass 4 kg and 40 kg . If the K.E of larger mass is 100 J . The K.E of small mass
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

10J

Explanation:

KE = (1/2)mv²

100J = (.5)(40kg)v²

v²=(100J)/(20kg)

v²= 5

KE = 5(.5)(4kg)

KE = 10J

Fed [463]

ANSWER

Mass: The resistance of an object to acceleration, size-dependent

Volume: The amount of space an object occupies

Boiling point: The temperature at which a liquid boils and turns to vapor.

Melting point: The temperature at which a solid melts and turns to liquid

Density: Size-independent

Solubility: The ability of a substance (solvent) to dissolve when placed in a liquid (solute)

Magnetism: Size-dependent

EXPLANATION:

Mass: the more mass something has, the harder it is to accelerate. This is somewhat intuitive, but is also demonstrated in newton's third law. It's size-dependent because for an object of a given density, the size (volume) will change the mass.

Volume: big objects take up more space. If you put an apple in bucket filled to the brim with water, a little water will splash out, because the apple is now occupying the space that the water used to, but if you put in a watermelon, a lot of water will splash out, because the watermelon is taking up even more space.

Boiling point: when a liquid gets too hot, it will change to gas (example: water to steam)

Melting point: when a liquid gets too cold, it will change to a solid (example: water to ice)

Density: how much mass there is in a given volume. A sphere made of lead will have more mass than a sphere made of wood, even if they are the same size. Size-independent because a big lead sphere has the same density as a small lead sphere, they just have different masses.

Solubility: some substances dissolve in certain solvents, other's don't.

Magnetism: size-dependent because a bigger magnet is stronger than a smaller one if they are identical in every other way. More space means more domains means a stronger magnet.
