Hello,

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: ƒL = ƒS(v - vL)/(v - vS)

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

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

* speed of sound equals about 337 m/s 

2v / 337 = (1250/1200) - 1
2v = 14.04 m/s 
v = 7.02 m/s

Thus, the vehicle is going 7.02 m/s.

A modern compact fluorescent lamp contains 1.4 mg of mercury (Hg). If each mercury atom in the lamp were to emit a single photon

Reika [66]

Answer:

A. 1.64 J

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find how many moles correspond to 1.4 mg of mercury. We have:

$n=\frac{m}{M_m}$

where

n is the number of moles

m = 1.4 mg = 0.0014 g is the mass of mercury

Mm = 200.6 g/mol is the molar mass of mercury

Substituting, we find

$n=\frac{0.0014 g}{200.6 g/mol}=7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol$

Now we have to find the number of atoms contained in this sample of mercury, which is given by:

$N=n N_A$

where

n is the number of moles

$N_A=6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1}$ is the Avogadro number

Substituting,

$N=(7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol)(6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1})=4.22\cdot 10^{18}$ atoms

The energy emitted by each atom (the energy of one photon) is

$E_1 = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda=508 nm=5.08\cdot 10^{-7}nm$ is the wavelength

Substituting,

$E_1 = \frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{5.08\cdot 10^{-7} m}=3.92\cdot 10^{-19} J$

And so, the total energy emitted by the sample is

$E=nE_1 = (4.22\cdot 10^{18} )(3.92\cdot 10^{-19}J)=1.64 J$

In an electrolytic cell, to which electrode will a positive ion migrate and undergo reduction? the anode, which is negatively ch

ahrayia [7]

The reaction of reduction always undergoes with the cathode, the positive ion will migrate towards the cathode with the negative charge whilst the anode always has oxidation reaction. These two types of reaction does not change.
