A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 12.2 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108

m/s. Since the frequency shift will be small for practical car speeds and difficult to detect, the shifted frequency is compared to the original frequency, and the resulting beat frequency is used to determine the speed of the car. Prof Chesnutt is driving down the road, and her speed is measured by a friendly officer of the law sitting by the side of the road.
what is the resulting beat frequency that the radar gun detects?

Answer:

A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 13.1 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108 m/s. Since the frequency shift will be small for practical car speeds and difficult to detect, the shifted frequency is compared to the original frequency, and the resulting beat frequency is used to determine the speed of the car.

a.) If Michael is traveling at 29 m/s, what is the resulting beat frequency that the radar gun detects?

ANSWER: 2533 Hz

A motorcycle has a speed of 30 m / s. After braking, it decelerates with constant deceleration A = -3.0 m / s ^ 2
marin [14]

a = \displaystyle\frac{v-u}{t}

-3 = \displaystyle\frac{v - 30}{3}

v -30 = -9

v = 21 m/s

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= F0 L ( 1 - 1/e )

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Work done is given as the product of force and distance.

In this case;

Work done  = ∫︎ F(x) dx  

                    = F0 ∫︎ e^(-x/L) dx  

                    = F0 [ -L e^(-x/L) ] between 0 and L  

                    = F0 L ( 1 - 1/e )
