Answer:

The light from an object which is coming towards us will be blue shifted.

Explanation:

According to the Doppler effect the movement of the source towards the observer will lead to increase in thew apparent frequency by the Doppler formula,

f'=\frac{c+v_{o} }{c-v_{s} }f

Now when the there is increase in frequency then the wavelength is decrease because it is inversely related to frequency.

The wavelength of blue shift is lies in the range of 450-490 nm and the wavelength of red shift lies in the region of 635-700 nm.

Therefore, decrease in the wavelength will lead to blue shift.

A boxer punches a sheet of paper in midair and brings it from rest up to a speed of 30 m/s in 0.060 s .
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Force exerted, F = 1.5 N

Explanation:

It is given that, a boxer punches a sheet of paper in midair and brings it from rest up to a speed of 30 m/s in 0.060 s.

i.e. u = 0

v = 30 m/s

Time taken, t = 0.06 s

Mass of the paper, m = 0.003 kg

We need to find the force the boxer exert on it. The force can be calculated using second law of motion as :

F=m\times a

F=m\times (\dfrac{v-u}{t})

F=0.003\times (\dfrac{30}{0.06})

F = 1.5 N

So, the force the boxer exert on the paper is 1.5 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

A biker is pedaling at a constant speed of 36 km/h. During the last 10 s of the race, he increases his speed with a constant acc
adell [148]

Answer:

54 km/h

Explanation:

given,

speed of the biker = 36 Km/h

time = 10 s

acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

speed at which it crosses the finish line  = ?

v = 36 x 0.278 = 10 m/s

using equation of motion

v = u + a t

v = 10 + 0.5 x 10

v = 15 m/s

v = 15 x 3.6 = 54 km/hr

speed at which the biker crosses the finish line is equal to 54 km/h

Please could someone explain this.
icang [17]

This problem is to let you practice using Newton's second law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

-- The airplane's mass when it takes off (before it burns any of its load of fuel) is 320,000 kg.

-- The force available is (240,000 N/per engine) x (4 engines) = 960,000 N.

-- Now you know ' F ' and ' mass '.  Use Newton's second law of motion to calculate the plane's acceleration.
