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

A 40.0 kg box is placed on a 2.00 m tall shelf. If the box falls off the shelf, what is its kinetic energy as it strikes the gro
RUDIKE [14]
M = 40 Kg , g=9.8 m/s² , h = 2 m

PE = m g h

PE = (40) (9.8) (2)

PE = 784 J

KE = PE

½m v² = m g h

½ v² = g h

½ v² = (9.8) (2)

½ v² = 19.6

v² = 19.6×2

v² = 39.2

V = √39.2

V = 6.26 m/s

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½(40) (6.26)²

KE =783.8 J
