Answer:

f ’= 97.0 Hz

Explanation:

This is an exercise of the doppler effect use the frequency change due to the relative movement of the fort and the observer

in this case the source is the police cases that go to vs = 160 km / h

and the observer is vo = 120 km / h

the relationship of the doppler effect is

f ’= f₀ (v + v₀ / v- $v_{s}$ )

let's reduce the magnitude to the SI system

v_{s} = 160 km / h (1000 m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 44.44 m / s

v₀ = 120 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 33.33 m / s

we substitute in the equation of the Doppler effect

f ‘= 100 (330+ 33.33 / 330-44.44)

f ’= 97.0 Hz

. A 1.00 kg rock is thrown up into the air from ground level at a speed of 8.00 m/s. The ball travels up

Liula [17]

Answer:

p = -8 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the rock, u = 8 m/s

Mass of the rock, m = 1 kg

The ball travels up to a maximum height, then returns to the ground.

We need to find the rock's momentum as it strikes the ground. Let v be the final speed of the rock. Its final speed is as same as initial speed i.e. 8 m/s but in negative direction. So

p = mv

p = 1 kg × (-8 m/s)

= -8 kg-m/s

So, the rock's momentum as it strikes the ground is (-8 kg-m/s).

As part of an interview for a summer job with the Coast Guard, you are asked to help determine the search area for two sunken sh

MrMuchimi

Answer: $37^{\circ}$ North of west

Explanation:

Given

40,000-ton luxury line traveling 20 knots towards west and

60,000 ton freighter traveling towards North with 10 knots

suppose v is the common velocity after collision

conserving momentum in west direction

$20\times 40,000=(20,000+60,000)v\cos \theta$

suppose the final velocity makes \theta angle with x axis

$v\cos \theta =10----1$

Conserving Momentum in North direction

$10\times 60,000=80,000\times v\sin\theta$

$v\sin \theta =\frac{15}{2}----2$

divide 1 and 2

$\tan \theta =\frac{3}{4}$

$\theta =37^{\circ}$

so search in the area $37^{\circ}$ North of west to find the ship

A train travels 63 kilometers in 2 hours, and then 56 kilometers in 3 hours. What is its average speed? i need the answer and un

kolbaska11 [484]

The average speed is the ratio between the total space and the total time of the motion:
$v= \frac{S_{tot}}{t_{tot}}$
The total space is
$S_{tot}=63 km + 56 km = 119 km$
while the total time is
$t_{tot}=2h+3h = 5h$
So, the average velocity is
$v= \frac{119 km}{5 h} =23.8 km/h
$

We can also rewrite it in m/s. The total space is $S_{tot}=119000 m$ , while the time is $t_{tot}=5h\cdot 3600 s/h = 18000s$ , and so
$v= \frac{119000m}{18000s}=6.6 m/s$

In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The answer is " $1.01 \times 10^{-13}$ "

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation for energy. Equating the kinetic energy to the potential energy.

$KE=U=\frac{kqq'}{r}\\\\$

Calculating the closest distance:

$\to r=\frac{kqq'}{KE}\\\\$

$=\frac{k(2e)(79e)}{KE}\\\\=\frac{k(2)(79)e^2}{KE}\\\\=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \ N \cdot \frac{m^2}{c}(2)(79)(1.6 \times10^{-19} \ C)^2}{(2.25\ meV) (\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-13} \ J}{1 \ MeV})}\\\\$

$=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \times 2\times 79\times 1.6 \times10^{-19}\times 1.6 \times10^{-19} }{(2.25 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-13}) }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32\times 10^{-29}}{3.6 \times 10^{-13} }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32}{3.6} \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1011.2 \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1.01 \times 10^{-13}$
