<h2>Answer: Doppler effect </h2>

Explanation:

A radar gun  (also known as a Doppler radar) uses the Doppler effect when measuring "return echoes" after having sent a microwave signal (a type of electromagnetic radiation).  

In this context the Doppler effect consists of the change in a wave perceived frequency when the emitter of the waves, and the observer move relative to each other.  

In the case of radars, a microwave signal is sent to a target (the tennis or baseball in this case) and then is reflected after "hitting" the target, so that the radar system measures this difference between the sent signal and the reflected signal.

The density of a glass is 2.5 g/cm3. if the glass breaks, what is the density of the smaller pieces​
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Density will remain the same since density is the relationship between mass and volume. As we can see in the equation below.

Ro=m/V

where:

Ro = density = 2.5 [g/cm³]

m = mass [g]

V = volume [cm³]

In such a way that when the glass is broken the small fragments retain the same density ratio. That is, each fragment has a small mass and a small volume. That's why the density remains the same.

Describe the trip from your home to school using the words position, distance, displacement, and
ozzi

Answer:

The position of my house is a little uphill as compared to the position of my school. The distance I have to travel from my house to school is nearly 2 kilometers. The displacement is in the 2000 m towards the left from my house. The speed of the bus which I usually take is 40 km/ hour.

Compare the current in the 8-ohm resistors to the current in the 4-ohm resistors.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

a)   i₈ = 0.5 i₄,  b)   i₁₀ = 0.3 i₃,    i₁₀ = 0.8 i₈

Explanation:

For this exercise we use ohm's law

       V = i R

        i = V / R

we assume that the applied voltage is the same in all cases

let's find the current for each resistance

         

R = 4 Ω

         i₄ = V / 4

R = 8 Ω

         i₈ = V / 8

we look for the relationship between these two currents

         i₈ /i₄ = 4/8 = ½

         i₈ = 0.5 i₄

R = 3 Ω

        i₃ = V3

R = 10 Ω

         

        i₁₀ = V / 10

   

we look for relationships

       i₁₀ / 1₃ = 3/10

       i₁₀ = 0.3 i₃

       i₁₀ / 1₈ = 8/10

       i₁₀ = 0.8 i₈
