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 answer to your question is given below

Explanation:

From the question given above, we can see that the wave with a higher frequency has a shorter wavelength while that with a lower frequency has a longer wavelength. This is so because the frequency and wavelength of a wave has inverse relationship. This can further be explained by using the following formula:

Velocity = wavelength x frequency

Divide both side by wavelength

Frequency = Velocity /wavelength

Keeping the velocity constant, we have:

Frequency ∝ 1 / wavelength

From the above illustration, we can see clearly that the frequency and wavelength are in inverse relationship. This implies that the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength and the shorter the frequency, the higher the wavelength.

A cyclist turns a corner with a radius of 50m at a speed of 10m/s. What is the cyclist's acceleration?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

2 m/s^2

Explanation:

a = v^2/r

a = (10m/s)^2 / 50m

a = 2 m/s^2

A bag of sugar weighs 5.00 lb on Earth. What would it weigh in newtons on the Moon, where the free-fall acceleration is one-sixt
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Earth: 22.246 N

Moon: 3.71 N

Jupiter: 58.72 N

Explanation:

The mass of an object will remain constant in any location, its weight however, can fluctuate depending on its location. For example, a golf ball will weigh less on the moon, but its mass will not be different if it was on earth.

To calculate anything, we need to convert to standard measurements.

5.00 lbs = 2.27 kg

On earth, gravity is measured to be 9.8 m/s², so the weight in Newtons on Earth would be: (2.27 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 22.246 N

Repeated on the moon where gravity is (9.8 m/s²) x (1/6) = 1.633 m/s², so the weight in Newtons on the moon would be: (2.27 kg) x (1.633 m/s²) = 3.71 N

Repeated on Jupiter where gravity is (9.8 m/s²) x (2.64) = 25.87 m/s², so the wight in Newtons on Jupiter would be: (2.27 kg) x (25.87 m/s²) = 58.72 N
