Answer: V = 15 m/s

Explanation:

As  stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. The observed frequency the car will be experiencing will be addition of the two frequency. That is,

F = 2.1 × 10^10 + 1030 = 2.100000103×10^10Hz

Using doppler effect formula

F = C/ ( C - V) × f

Where

F = observed frequency

f = source frequency

C = speed of light = 3×10^8

V = speed of the car

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

2.100000103×10^10 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 -V) × 2.1×10^10

2.100000103×10^10/2.1×10^10 = 3×108/(3×10^8 - V)

1.000000049 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 - V)

Cross multiply

300000014.7 - 1.000000049V = 3×10^8

Collect the like terms

1.000000049V = 14.71429

Make V the subject of formula

V = 14.71429/1.000000049

V = 14.7 m/s

The speed of the car is 15 m/s approximately

A person travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 23.5 min at 74.5 km/h, 15.9 min at 111 km/h, 49.2 min at 38.7 k
Drupady [299]
The product of speed and time is distance. To calculate the total distance you multiple the speed in kilometers per second by the time at that speed in seconds, do this for all 3 different speeds then add them up, the 17.4 minutes eating does not affect the answer at all. to convert from minutes to seconds multiply time in minutes by 60, to convert from km/h to km/s divide km/h by 3600.

(23.5x60)x(74.5/3600) = 29.2km (rounded to 1 decimal place)
+
(15.9x60)x(111/3600) = 29.4km (rounded to 1 decimal place)
+
(49.2x60)x(38.7/3600) = 31.7km
=90.3km

The brackets are not necessary but i think it makes it more clear what is happening in your working.

In one hour, coal supplies 500 000 J of energy. The energy amounts to 380 000 J. How much useful energy is produced in one hour?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

120,000J

Corrected question;

In one hour, coal supplies 500 000 J of energy. The wasted energy amounts to 380 000 J. How much useful energy is produced in one hour?

Explanation:

Given;

Total energy Et = 500,000 J

Wasted Energy Ew = 380,000J

The amount useful energy is the amount of energy that is available for supply.

This can be derived by subtracting the wasted energy from the total energy.

Useful energy = Total Energy - wasted energy

Eu = Et - Ew

Substituting the given values;

Eu = 500,000J - 380,000

Eu = 120,000 J

The amount of useful energy produced in one hour is 120,000 J

1. State the law of conservation of energy and what it means for you as a human considering how energy works.
Arturiano [62]

Answer: 1. The law of consevation of energy sates that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed or transfered from one form to another. The law of conservation of energy is found everywhere for example, Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy.

2. Different forms of energy are related because energy cannot be created or destroyed. they can all be transformed into from one form to another.

un avión aterriza en la superficie de un portaaviones a 50 m/s y se detiene por completo en 120 metros, ¿cuál es la aceleración
sergejj [24]

Answer:

La aceleración necesaria para detener el avión es - 10.42 m/s².

Explanation:

Un movimiento uniformemente acelerado (M.U.A) es aquél cuya aceleración es constante y la velocidad de un objeto cambia a medida que el movimiento evoluciona.

Siendo la aceleración "a" el cambio de velocidad al tiempo transcurrido en un punto A a B, la velocidad inicial la velocidad que tiene un cuerpo al iniciar su movimiento en un período de tiempo y la velocidad final la velocidad que tiene un cuerpo al finalizar su movimiento en un período de tiempo, entonces en  M.U.A se cumple:

Vf² - Vo² = 2*a*d

donde:

  • Vf: Velocidad final
  • Vo: Velocidad inicial
  • a: Aceleración
  • d: Distancia recorrida

En este  caso:

  • Vf: 0 m/s, porque el avión se detiene
  • Vo: 50 m/s
  • a: ?
  • d: 120 m

Reemplazando:

(0 m/s)² - (50 m/s)² = 2*a*120 m

Resolviendo:

a=\frac{(0 m/s)^{2} -(50 m/s)^{2} }{2*120 m}

a= - 10.42 m/s²

<u><em>La aceleración necesaria para detener el avión es - 10.42 m/s².</em></u>
