The Doppler Effect is when the frequency changes and of a wave. It is commonly heard when a vehicle siren or horn approaches, passes and recedes from the person or observer.

The doppler effect is a phenomenon that happens with sound or sound waves. It's the change in frequency of a wave.

Let's say you have something that's making noise and as that thing is coming towards you, not only does it get louder but the pitch changes and it gets sharp as it comes towards you and goes flat as it goes away. So the waves are getting compressed as they come towards you and they spread out as they're going away. Something similar happens with light and we call that the redshift.

A stone is thrown towards a wall with an initial velocity of v0=19m/s and an angle = 71 with the horizontal, as illustrated in t
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

(a) 2.85 m

(b) 16.5 m

(c) 21.7 m

(d) 22.7 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ₓ = 19 cos 71° m/s

v₀ᵧ = 19 sin 71° m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = -9.8 m/s²

(a) Find Δy when t = 3.5 s.

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

Δy = (19 sin 71° m/s) (3.5 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (3.5 s)²

Δy = 2.85 m

(b) Find Δy when vᵧ = 0 m/s.

vᵧ² = v₀ᵧ² + 2 aᵧ Δy

(0 m/s)² = (19 sin 71° m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) Δy

Δy = 16.5 m

(c) Find Δx when t = 3.5 s.

Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

Δx = (19 cos 71° m/s) (3.5 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.5 s)²

Δx = 21.7 m

(d) Find Δx when Δy = 0 m.

First, find t when Δy = 0 m.

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

(0 m) = (19 sin 71° m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

0 = t (18.0 − 4.9 t)

t = 3.67

Next, find Δx when t = 3.67 s.

Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

Δx = (19 cos 71° m/s) (3.67 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.67 s)²

Δx = 22.7 m

Lyrx [107]

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here is the complete question:

A runner starts at point A, runs around a 1-mile track, and finishes the run back at point A. Which of the following statements is true?

A. The runner's displacement is 1 mile.

B. The runner's displacement is zero.

C. The distance the runner covered is zero.

D. The runner's speed was zero.

The answer to this question is B. The runner's displacement is zero

Explanation:

Displacement always implies a change of position; this means an object or individual moves from point A to point B, and therefore the original position is different from the final position. Additionally, in displacement, other related factors such as the total distance the body moved and the direction of movement. In the case presented, it can be concluded there was no displacement or the displacement is zero because even when the runner moved and ran two miles, he returned to the initial position, and without a change in the position, there is no displacement.

Jason applies a force of 4.00 newtons to a sled at an angle 62.0 degrees from the ground. What is the component of force effecti
Andreas93 [3]
Answer: 1.88 N

Explanation:

Data:

Force = 4.00N
angle = 62°
horizontal force = ?

Solution:

The trigonometric ratio that relates horizontal - leg to hypotenuse is the cosine.

That ratio is:

                        horizontal - leg
cos(angle) = -------------------------
                          hypotenuse

So, applied to the force, that is:

                             horizontal force
cos (angle) = -----------------------------------
                                 total force

So, clearing the horizontal component you get:
                                         
horizontal force = force * cos (angle)

Substitute the data given:

horizontal force = 4.00N * cos(62°) = 4.00N * 0.4695 = 1.88 N

Answer: 1.88N
