<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.

Define the term antinode and explain how standing waves form.
Otrada [13]

Answer:

standing wave, also called stationary wave, combination of two waves moving in opposite directions, each having the same amplitude and frequency.

For oppositely moving waves, interference produces an oscillating wave fixed in space. fixed nodes in a standing wave. Location of fixed nodes in a standing wave

these are the points that undergo the maximum displacement during each vibrational cycle of the standing wave. In a sense, these points are the opposite of nodes, and so they are called antinodes. A standing wave pattern always consists of an alternating pattern of nodes and antinodes

An automobile travels on a straight road for 40 km at 30 km/h. It then continues in the same direction for another 40 km at 60 k
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The average velocity is 40km/h.

Explanation:

The average velocity is \bar{v}=\frac{\Delta x }{\Delta t}, where \Delta x is the distance traveled and \Delta t the time elapsed.

The distance traveled is clearly 80km since it's all done in the same direction, we only need to know the time elapsed. For this we calculate the time elapsed on the first part, and add it to the time elapsed on the second part using always the formula \Delta t=\frac{\Delta x }{v}, where v is the velocity on each part, which is constant.

The time elapsed for the first part is \Delta t_1=\frac{40 km}{30km/h}=\frac{4}{3}h, and the time elapsed for the second part is \Delta t_2=\frac{40 km}{60km/h}=\frac{2}{3}h, giving us a total time of \Delta t_1+\Delta t_2=\frac{4}{3}h+\frac{2}{3}h=2h.

Finally, we can calculate the average velocity: \bar{v}=\frac{80km}{2h}=40km/h.
