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 72.8-kg swimmer is standing on a stationary 265-kg floating raft. The swimmer then runs off the raft horizontally with a veloc
nalin [4]

Answer:

-1.43 m/s relative to the shore

Explanation:

Total momentum must be conserved before and after the run. Since they were both stationary before, their total speed, and momentum, is 0, so is the total momentum after the run off:

m_sv_s + m_rv_r = 0

where m_s = 72.8, m_r = 265 are the mass of the swimmer and raft, respectively. v_s = 5.21 m/s, v_r are the velocities of the swimmer and the raft after the run, respectively. We can solve for v_r

265v_r + 72.8*5.21 = 0

v_b = -72.8*5.21/265 = -1.43 m/s

So the recoil velocity that the raft would have is -1.43 m/s after the swimmer runs off, relative to the shore

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

D. Molecules of a gas slow down and change to a liquid state.

Explanation:

  • Condensation refers to a process by which a gas changes from gaseous state to liquid state. For example, water vapor changes to from the state of being a gas to liquid state water.
  • Condensation is the opposite of evaporation and occurs when gaseous particles slow down and change into liquid state.
  • Heat energy is lost during condensation and gaseous molecules lose kinetic energy making them to slow down and thus changing to liquid state,

What volume (in liters) of gasoline has a total heat of combustion equal to the energy obtained in part (a)? (see section 17.6;
antiseptic1488 [7]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

volume = 6.3 × 10^-2 L

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Volume = mass/density

Mass = 0.0565 Kg,

Density = 900 kg/m³

             = 0.0565 kg/ 900 kg /m³

             = 6.3 × 10^-5 M³

but; 1000 L = 1 m³

Hence, <u>volume = 6.3 × 10^-2 L</u>

Answer:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. ... increases, the force of gravity decreases. If the distance is doubled, the force of gravity is one-fourth as strong as before.
