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 360 mile trip began on a greeway in a car traveling at 62 mph. Once the road became a 2 lane highway, the car slowed to 54 mph
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Time spent on the greenway road  = 4.5 hours

Time spent on the 2 lane road = 1.5 hours

Explanation:

The distance of the trip  is 360 miles and the initial speed of the car is 62 miles/hr and after the road became 2 lane highway the car slowed to 54 miles/hr.

Let us divide the trip into two

Greenway

speed = distance/time

speed = 62 mph

time = a

distance = speed × time

distance = 62a

2 lane highway

speed = distance/time

speed = 54 mph

time = b

distance = speed × time

distance = 54b

Total distance

62a + 54b = 360......................(i)

Total time

a + b = 6..............................(ii)

a = 6-b

insert a in equation (i)

62(6-b) + 54b = 360

372  - 62b + 54b = 360

-8b = 360-372

-8b = - 12

b = 12/8

b = 1.5

from equation (ii)

a + 1.5 = 6

a = 6 - 1.5

a = 4.5

According to the Declaration, when do people have a right to revolution?
babunello [35]
Locke said that under natural law, all people have the right to life, liberty, and private property; under the social contract, the people could instigate a revolution against the government when it acted against the interests of citizens, to replace the government with one that served the interests of citizens.

A shopping cart is given an initial velocity of 4 m/s and experiences a constant acceleration of 4 m/s2. What is the magnitude o
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

48m

Explanation:

  • Initial velocity = 4m/s
  • Acceleration = 4m/s²
  • Time = 4s
  • Displacement = ?

From Second equation of motion ,

\longrightarrow s = ut + 1/2at²

\longrightarrow s = 4*4 + 1/2*4*(4)² m

\longrightarrow s = (16 + 2 * 16) m

\longrightarrow s = ( 16 + 32 )m

\longrightarrow s = 48 m
