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

When two point charges are a distance d apart, the magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is F. If the distance betwe
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force decreases by a factor 9

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

d is the distance between the two charges

We see that the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. If the distance is increased to 3d: d' = 3d, the new electrostatic force would be:

F'=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(d')^2}=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(3d)^2}=\frac{1}{9} k\frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=\frac{F}{9}

So, the electrostatic force decreases by a factor 9.

Find a numerical value for rhoearth, the average density of the earth in kilograms per cubic meter. Use 6378km for the radius of
Radda [10]

According to the information provided to define an average density, it is necessary to use the concepts related to mass calculation based on gravitational constants and radius, as well as the calculation of the volume of a sphere.

By definition we know that the mass of a body in this case of the earth is given as a function of

M = \frac{gr^2}{G}

Where,

g= gravitational acceleration

G = Universal gravitational constant

r = radius (earth at this case)

All of this values we have,

g = 9.8m/s^2\\G  = 6.67*10^{-11} m^3/kg*s^2\\r = 6378*10^3 m

Replacing at this equation we have that

M = \frac{gr^2}{G} \\M = \frac{(9.8)(6378*10^3)^2}{6.67*10^{-11}} \\M = 5.972*10^{24}kg

The Volume of a Sphere is equal to

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (6378*10^3)^3\\V = 1.08*10^{21}m^3

Therefore using the relation between mass, volume and density we have that

\rho = \frac{m}{V}\\\rho = \frac{5.972*10^{24}}{1.08*10^{21}}\\\rho = 5.52*10^3kg/m^3

A painter lifts a 2.8 kg bucket using a rope. if the acceleration of the bucket in 3.1 m/s2, what is the tension in the rope (in
ad-work [718]
Refer to the diagram shown below

Given:
m = 2.8 kg, the mass of the bucket
a =3.1 m/s², the acceleration of the bucket
Therefore
W = 2.8*9.8 = 27.44 N, the weight of the bucket.

Let T =  the tension in the rope.

From the free body diagram, the net force accelerating the bucket is
T - W = m*a
That is,
T = W + m*a
   = 27.44 + 2.8*3.1 N
   = 36.12 N

Answer:  d. 36.1 N
