This is called the Doppler Effect. It is the alteration in frequency of a wave when the source, the light waves in this situation, and the observer are moving away from each other. The reason for stars to appear further from the observer is the constant expansion of the universe.

A glass falls from a table top and smashes on the floor 0.6 seconds later. How high is the table?

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

1.8 m

Explanation:

Given: Glass falls from a table, smashes 0.6 seconds later

To find: How high a table is

Formula: Vv=gt, dv=1/2gt^2, t=2d/g

Solution: A table's height is measured from the top of the edge down to the floor. The tables are shown both have a height of 30 inches, which is common for many tables.

Data

t = 0.6s

g = 9.81 m/s²

d = ?

Equation

d = $\frac{1}{2}$ $gt$ ²

Math & Units

d = 4.905 (0.6²)
d = 442.676

Hence the table is 1.8 m high

a train is moving with an initial velocity of 30 m/s, the brakes are applied so as to produce a uniform acceleration of -1.5 m/s

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Time \ in \ which \ train \ will \ come \ to \ rest = 20 \ sec}$

Given:

Initial velocity (u) = 30 m/s

Final speed (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = - 1.5 m/,s²

To Find:

Time in which train will come to rest (t).

Explanation:

$\sf From \ equation \ of \ motion: \\ \sf \implies \bold{v = u + at} \\ \\ \sf Substituting \ value \ of \ v, \ u \ and \ a: \\ \sf \implies 0 = 30 + ( - 1.5)(t) \\ \sf \implies 0 = 30 - 1.5(t) \\ \sf \implies 30 - 1.5(t) = 0 \\ \\ \sf Subtract \: 30 \: from \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies (30 - \boxed{ \sf 30}) - 1.5(t) = \boxed{ \sf - 30} \\ \\ \sf 30 - 30 = 0 : \\ \sf \implies - 1.5(t) = - 30 \\ \\ \sf Divide \: both \: sides \: of \: - 1.5(t) = - 30 \: by \: - 1.5 : \\ \sf \implies \frac{ - 1.5(t)}{ \boxed{ \sf - 1.5}} = \frac{ - 30}{ \boxed{ \sf -1.5 }} \\ \\ \sf \frac{ \cancel{ \sf 1.5}}{\cancel{ \sf 1.5}} = 1 : \\ \sf \implies t = \frac{ - 30}{ - 1.5} \\ \\ \sf \frac{ - 30}{ - 1.5} = \frac{\cancel{ \sf 1.5} \times 20}{\cancel{ \sf 1.5}} = 20 : \\ \sf \implies t = 20 \: sec$

So,

Time in which train will come to rest = 20 seconds
