Hello,

<span>A police car parked on the side of the highway emits a 1200 Hz sound that bounces off a vehicle farther down the highway and returns with a frequency of 1250 Hz. 

How fast is the vehicle going?

Doppler equation formula: </span>ƒL = ƒS(v - vL)/(v - vS)

The wave returns with a frequency of 1250 Hz, the <span>echo frequency is higher; the car must be traveling towards the police car. 

</span><span>The wave echo is coming back towards the police car at the same speed as the sound wave travels towards the moving car so t</span><span>he relative speed between the cars is half of the speed of the echo.

* </span><span>speed of sound equals about 337 m/s </span>

2v / 337 = (1250/1200) - 1 
<span>2v = 14.04 m/s </span>
<span>v = 7.02 m/s
</span>
Thus, the vehicle is going 7.02 m/s.

Faith xoxo

Which of the following describes a magnet that only has a field when a current is present? permanent magnet magnetic domain elec
lapo4ka [179]
The answer to your question is "eelectromagnet". Electromagnets only produce a magnetic field when they have an electric current nearby, and are some of the more powerful magnets on Earth, running things such as MRI machines, and junkyard manet cranes. They also are part of why electric motors spin.

Compare the number of electrons with the number of protons in a charged object.
svetlana [45]
If the object is negatively charged it means it has gained electron so negatively charged object has more number of electron than proton

If the object is positively charged it means it has lost electron so positively charged object has more number of proton than electron

AM and FM stand for two different processes that are used to code voices and music for transmission. What does AM stand for? 1.
professor190 [17]

Answer:

1. Amplitude Modulation

Explanation:

AM is an acronym for Amplitude Modulation and it's refers to a process that is typically used for coding sounds such as voices and music for transmission from one point to another.

On the other hand, FM is an acronym for frequency modulation used for the propagation and transmission of sound waves.

Basically, the two forms of modulation are used for broadcasting in radio transmission.

Electromagnetic waves is a propagating medium used in all communications device to transmit data (messages) from the device of the sender to the device of the receiver.

Generally, the most commonly used electromagnetic wave technology in telecommunications is radio waves.

Radio waves can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that has its frequency ranging from 30 GHz to 300 GHz and its wavelength between 1mm and 3000m. Therefore, radio waves are a series of repetitive valleys and peaks that are typically characterized of having the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Immediately after being struck by a hammer, the nail (mass of 50 g) has a velocity of 50 m/s. The total frictional force is 62.5
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

nail will stop after traveling 1000 m    

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 50 gram = 0.05 kg

Frictional force which is used to stop the mass F = 62.5 kN

Initial velocity is given u = 50 m/sec

From newton's law force is equal to F = ma, here m is mass and a is acceleration

So a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{62.5\times 10^3}{0.05}=1.25\times 10^6m/sec^2

As finally nail stops so final velocity v = 0 m/sec

From third equation of motion v^2=u^2+2as

So 0^2=50^2-2\times 1.25\times 10^6\times s

s = 1000 m

So nail will stop after traveling 1000 m
