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.

Describe what we may observe from Earth regarding the moon’s revolution around the earth and its rotation
slava [35]

When we look at the moon from the Earth, we always see the same light spots, dark spots, and shapes. It never changes. There could be two possible reasons for this:

-- The moon is a flat disk with some markings on it, and one side of it always faces the Earth.

-- The moon is a round ball with some markings on it, and one side of it always faces the Earth.

Either way, since the same side always faces the Earth, the only way that can happen is if the moon's revolution around the Earth and rotation on its axis both take EXACTLY the same length of time.

Even if they were only one second different, then we would see the moon's whole surface over a long period of time. But we don't. So the moon's rotation and revolution must be EXACTLY locked to the same period of time.

Which formations are created by wave erosion?
Leokris [45]

Answer:d) Stacks

Explanation: A stack or sea stack is a geological landform consisting of a steep and often vertical column or columns of rock in the sea near a coast, formed by wave erosion. Stacks are formed over time by wind and water, processes of coastal geomorphology.

A flask contains equal masses of f2 and cl2 with a total pressure of 2.00 atm at 298k. What is the partial pressure of cl2 in th
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Partial Pressure of F₂ = 1.30 atm

Partial pressure of Cl₂ = 0.70 atm

Explanation:

Partial pressure for gases are given by Daltons law.

Total pressure of a gas mixture = sum of the partial pressures of individual gases

Pt = P(f₂) + P(cl₂)

Partial pressure = mole fraction × total pressure

Let the mass of each gas present be m

Number of moles of F₂ = m/38 (molar mass of fluorine = 38 g/Lol

Number of moles of Cl₂ = m/71 (molar mass of Cl₂)

Mole fraction of F₂ = (m/38)/((m/38) + (m/71)) = 0.65

Mole fraction of Cl₂ = (m/71)/((m/38) + (m/71)) = 0.35 or just 1 - 0.65 = 0.35

Partial Pressure of F₂ = 0.65 × 2 = 1.30 atm

Partial pressure of Cl₂ = 0.35 × 2 = 0.70 atm

What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that travels at 3 10 m/s and has a frequency of 60 mhz? (1 mhz = 1,000,000 hz)
Dahasolnce [82]
V = 310 m/s
f = 60 MHz = 60 × 10^6 Hz
v = xf
x = v/f
x = 310/(60 × 10^6) m
x = 5.166667 × 10^(−6) m
