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

ANSWER:

The easiest way to get a fairly accurate measure of your water flow rate is to time yourself filling up a bucket. So for example if you fill up a 10 litre bucket in 1.5 minutes, then your flow rate will be: 10/1.5 = 6.66 Litres per minute.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Because there is not as much cold as it was in France.

Explanation:

The average temperature in France during January ranges from 2.7° to 7.2° celsius which makes it the coldest month of the year. But since she comes to know that average temperature in Annville ranges 31° celsius which implies that the temperature is normal there and therefore, she packs sleeveless tops and shorts. Coats would not be required in a hot weather and hence, she does not pack it.
