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 centrifuge rotor (hollow disk) is rotating at 10,000 rpm is shut off and brought to rest by a constant frictional torque of 1.
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The no of revolutions rotor turn before coming to rest is 1,601.1943 and time taken is equal to 19.21 seconds

Explanation:

here we know that torque = I×α

     α= angular acceleration

     I = moment of inertia of hollow disc = m×k^{2}

  given that m=4.37kg

                    k=0.0710m

           torque=1.2Nm

        w_{o}=10000\times \frac{\pi}{30} rad /s

         \alpha =\frac{torque}{I}

from the above equation we can calculate the angular acceleration of the hollow disc .

  since  w^{2}-w_o^{2} =2\alpha\theta

 from this above equation  \theta=\frac{w^{2}-w_{o}^{2}}{2\alpha }

   no of revolutions = \frac{\theta}{2\pi}  = 1,601.1943.

Now to calculate time we know that time = \frac{2\theta}{w+w_{o}}

   so upon calculating we will be getting t=19.21 seconds

A stone that starts at rest free falls for 7.0 s. How far does the stone fall in this time?
vredina [299]

Gravitational acceleration is approx 9.8 m/s
Time is 7s

a=9.8 m/s
t=7s

a = d/t^2

therefore:

d = a * t^2

d = 9.8 * 7^2

d = 9.8 * 49

d = 480.2 [m]
