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

Light is an electromagnetic wave and travels at a speed of 3.00 × 108 m/s. The human eye is most sensitive to yellow-green light
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

f = 5.95 \times 10^{14} Hz

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of the wave is given as

f = \frac{c}{\lambda}

here we know that

c = 3 \times 10^8 m/s

also we know that

\lambda = 5.04 \times 10^{-7} m

now we have

f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{5.04 \times 10^{-7}}

f = 5.95 \times 10^{14} Hz

A typical laboratory centrifuge rotates at 3700 rpm . Test tubes have to be placed into a centrifuge very carefully because of t
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

acceleration of test tube

= ω² R

= (2πn)² R

= 4π²n²R

n = no of rotation per second

= 3700 / 60

= 61.67

R = .10 m

acceleration

= 4π²n²R

= 4 x 3.14² x 61.67² x .10

= 14999 N Approx

A 3.00-kg ball swings rapidly in a complete vertical circle of radius 2.00 m by a light string that is fixed at one end. The bal
Setler [38]

Answer

given,

mass of the ball = 3 kg

swing in vertical circle with radius = 2 m

   work done by the gravity = ?          

   work done by the tension = ?            

Work done by the gravity = - m g Δh            

 Δ h = 2 + 2 = 4 m                                                                

Work done by the gravity =- 3 \times 9.8 \times 4

                                           = -117.6 J                  

work done by gravity is equal to -117.6 J            

Work done by tension will be equal to zero.        

Zero because tension is always perpendicular to velocity

work done by tension is equal to 0 J
