Suppose a radar gun sends out radio waves with a frequency of 2,000,000.0 Hz. The waves bounce off a moving car and return with

a frequency of 2,000,000.2 Hz. If the speed of light is 300,000,000 m/s, what is the velocity of the car

Answer:

300,000,030m/s

Explanation:

Using the relationship between frequency and speed of a wave;

F ∝ V

F = kV

k = F/V

F1/V1 = F2/V2 = k

Let F1 be the frequency of the radio wave = 2,000,000.0Hz

V1 be the speed of light = 300,000,000m/s

F2 = frequency produced by the car = 2,000,000.2Hz

V2 be the velocity of the moving car

Substituting this values in the equation above;

2,000,000/300,000,000 = 2,000,000.2/V2

Cross multiplying

2,000,000V2 = 300,000,000×2,000,000.2

2V2 = 300×2,000,000.2

V2 = 150×2,000,000.2

V2 = 300,000,030m/s

The velocity of the car is 300,000,030m/s

In a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are always equal.

However, if there are more number of protons than electrons, we say the atom is now positively charged, (since protons are positively charged and the charges on electron cant cancel them out)

If there are more number of electrons than protons, the atom would be negatively charged. 

If however there are different number of neutrons in an atom,but same proton number- we call them as isotopes. example 1H2 and 1H3 they have same protons but different neurtrons! hence they are isotopes of hydrogen 

Hope this helpss
