A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 12.2 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108

quester [9]

Answer:

A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 13.1 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108 m/s. Since the frequency shift will be small for practical car speeds and difficult to detect, the shifted frequency is compared to the original frequency, and the resulting beat frequency is used to determine the speed of the car.

a.) If Michael is traveling at 29 m/s, what is the resulting beat frequency that the radar gun detects?

ANSWER: 2533 Hz

Which scientific law describes the relationship between action and reaction force pairs? Newton's third law of motion Kepler's l

Hitman42 [59]

Newton's third law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction force) on object A"

It is important to note that this law is always valid, even when it seems it is not.

Consider for example the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on your body (= your weight). We can say that this is the action force. It may seems that there is no reaction force in this case. However, this is not true: in fact, your body also exerts an equal and opposite force on the Earth, and this is the reaction force. The reason that explains why we don't notice any effect on Earth due to this force is that the mass of the Earth is much larger than your mass, therefore the acceleration produced on the Earth because of the force you apply is negligible.

It is also important to note that the action-reaction pair of forces always act on two different objects, so they never appear in the same free-body diagram.

A particle moves along a straight line. Its position at any instant is given by x = 32t− 38t^3/3 where x is in metre and t in se

Rudik [331]

Answer:

The acceleration of the object is -69.78 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

postion of the particle:

$x = 32t - 38\frac{t^3}{3} \\\\$

The velocity of the particle is calculated as the change in the position of the particle with time;

$v = \frac{dx}{dt} = 32 - 38t^2\\\\when \ the \ particle \ is \ at \ rest, \ v = 0\\\\32-38t^2 = 0\\\\38t^2 = 32\\\\t^2 = \frac{32}{38} \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{32}{38} } \\\\t = 0.918 \ s$

Acceleration is the change in velocity with time;

$a = \frac{dv}{dt} = -76t\\\\recall , \ t = 0.918 \ s\\\\a = -76(0.918)\\\\a = -69.78 \ m/s^2$
