At the Indianapolis 500, you can measure the speed of cars just by listening to the difference in pitch of the engine noise betw

een approaching and receding cars. Suppose the sound of a certain car drops by a factor of 2.40 as it goes by on the straightaway. How fast is it going? (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Dopler effect.

The equation is defined by

f_i = f_0 \frac{c}{c+v}

Where

f_h= Approaching velocities

f_i= Receding velocities

c = Speed of sound

v = Emitter speed

And

f_h = f_0 \frac{c}{c+v}

Therefore using the values given we can find the velocity through,

\frac{f_h}{f_0}=\frac{c-v}{c+v}

v = c(\frac{f_h-f_i}{f_h+f_i})

Assuming the ratio above, we can use any f_h and f_i with the ratio 2.4 to 1

v = 353(\frac{2.4-1}{2.4+1})

v = 145.35m/s

Therefore the cars goes to 145.3m/s

A particle with charge 3.20×10−19 c is placed on the x axis in a region where the electric potential due to other charges increa
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

-5 V

Explanation:

The charged particle (which is positively charged) moves from point A to B, and its kinetic energy increases: it means that the particle is following the direction of the field, so its potential energy is decreasing (because it's been converted into potential energy), therefore it is moving from a point at higher potential (A) to a point at lower potential (B). This means that the value

vb−va

is negative.

We can calculate the potential difference between the two points by using the law of conservation of energy:

\Delta K+ \Delta U=0\\\Delta K + q\Delta V=0

where:

\Delta K=+1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

q=3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C is the charge of the particle

\Delta V =V_b-V_a is the potential difference

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the value of the potential difference:

\Delta V=V_b-V_a = -\frac{\Delta K}{q}=-\frac{1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J}{3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C}=-5 V
