Answer:

The doppler effect equation is:

f' = \frac{v +v0}{v - vs}*f

In the equation we have frequencies, but then we have the wavelengths of the lights, remember the relation:

v = f*λ

then:

f = v/λ

and v is the speed of light, then:

f = c/λ

where:

f' is the observed frequency, in this case, is equal to f = (3*10^17nm/s)/550 nm

f is the real frequency, in this case, is (3*10^17nm/s)/650 nm

vs is the speed of the source, in this case, the source is not moving, then vs = 0 m/s.

v is the speed of the wave, in this case, is equal to the speed of light, v = 3*10^8 m/s

v0 is your speed, this is what we want to find.

Replacing those quantities in the equation, we get:

(3*10^17nm/s)/550 = (3*10^8 m/s + v0)/(3*10^8 m/s)*(3*10^17nm/s)/650 nm

(650nm)/(550nm) = (3*10^8 m/s + v0)/(3*10^8 m/s)

1.182*(3*10^8 m/s) = (3*10^8 m/s + v0)

1.182*(3*10^8 m/s) -  (3*10^8 m/s) = v0 = 54,600,000 m/s

So your speed was 54,600,000 m/s, which is a lot.

A transport plane takes off from a level landing field with two gliders in tow, one behind the other. The mass of each glider is
velikii [3]

Answer:

(a)  Length =136.58 m

(b)  T=5995 N

Explanation:

for the glider in the back

T - 1900 = 700 a

for the glider in front

12000-T -1900 = 700a

add equations

12000-3800 = 1400 a

a=5.85 m/s^2

v^2 = v0^2 + 2 a x

40^2 = 2*5.85*x

Length =136.58 m

b) plug the a back into one of the previous formula

T -  1900 = 700*5.85

T=5995 N

(a) How many kilograms of water must evaporate from a 60.0-kg woman to lower their body temperature by 0.750ºC?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

69.69 g

Explanation:

Evaporation of water will take out latent heat of vaporization.  Let the mass of water be m and latent heat of vaporization of water be 2260000 J per kg

Heat taken up by evaporating water

= 2260000 x m J

Heat lost by body

= mass x specific heat of body x drop in temperature

60 x 3500 x .750  ( specific heat of human body is 3.5 kJ/kg.k)

= 157500 J

Heat loss = heat gain

2260000 m= 157500

m = .06969 kg

= 69.69 g

The power in an electrical circuit is given by the equation P = I2R, where I is the current flowing through the circuit and R is
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Explanation: Here we have given a direct equation . There for no need to worry .

P = I²×R

P = (12)² ×100

P = 14400W = 14.4 kW

For second one

P = I² ×R

200 = I²×150

I = √200/150

I = 1.15 A

A hockey player applies an average force of 80.0 N to a
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Impulse =  8.0Ns

Explanation:

Given

Force = 80.0N

Mass = 0.25kg

Time = 0.10s

Required

Determine the impulse

The impulse is calculated as follows:

Impulse =  Force * Time

Substitute values for Force and Time

Impulse =  80.0N * 0.10s

Impulse =  8.0Ns

<em>Hence, the impulse experienced is 8.0Ns</em>
