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
Explanation:
a) The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is expressed as the product of half of the mass (m) of the object and the square of its velocity (v²):

It is given:
v = 8.5 m/s
m = 91 kg
So:

b) We can calculate height by using the formula for potential energy (PE):
PE = m*g*h
In this case, h is eight, and PE is the same as KE:
PE = KE = 3,287.4 J
m = 91 kg
g = 9.81 m/s² - gravitational acceleration
h = ? - height
Now, let's replace those:
3,287.4= 91 * 9.81 * h
⇒ h = 3,287.4/(91*9.81) = 3,287.4/892.7 = 3.7 m
Answer:
UV light is more powerful as it has greater energy.
Explanation:
The energy propagated by electromagnetic waves ( light ) through vacuum or medium is known as electromagnetic radiation.
The frequency/wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation is known as electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum ranging from gamma ray to radio waves.
Frequency range of UV light = ( 8 x 10¹⁴ to 3 x 10¹⁶ ) Hz
Frequency range of Microwaves = ( 300 x 10⁶ to 300 x 10⁹ ) Hz
Ratio of UV light to Microwaves = (
to
)
= ( 2.66 x 10⁶ to 1 x 10⁸ )
Energy of electromagnetic radiation is given by the relation:
E = hν
Here h is plank's constant and ν is frequency.
UV light is more powerful than Microwaves as frequency of UV light is greater than frequency of microwaves. Thus, by the above equation, the energy of UV light is more than energy of Microwaves.
Answer:
v = 20.31 m/s
Explanation:
p = mv -> v = p/m = 32,500 kg*m/s / 1,600 kg = 20.31 m/s
