The velocity of the wave involved in the Doppler effect:

Margarita [4]

The Doppler Effect provides the equation for the calculation of apparent frequency:

f=fo[vo/(vo-vr)]

where:<span>
vo=source wave velocity
vr=relative speed between source and observer
f=apparent frequency
fo=source frequency </span>

<span>
The velocity of the doppler wave is
v=λf</span>

where λ is light wavelength. Hence,

v=λfo[vo/(vo-vr)]

Based on the equation, we can say that wave velocity will always be defined by one and only one wavelength.

Therefore the answer is letter C.

The phenomenon of vehicle "tripping" is investigated here. The sport-utility vehicle is sliding sideways with speed v1 and no an

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

$v_1 = 3.5 \ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that :

mass of the SUV is = 2140 kg

moment of inertia about G , i.e $I_G$ = 875 kg.m²

We know from the conservation of angular momentum that:

$H_1= H_2$

$mv_1 *0.765 = [I+m(0.765^2+0.895^2)] \omega_2$

$2140v_1*0.765 = [875+2140(0.765^2+0.895^2)] \omega_2$

$1637.1 v_1$ $= 3841.575 \omega_2$

$\omega_2 = \frac{1637.1 v_1}{3841.575}$

$\omega _2 = 0.4626 \ v_1$

From the conservation of energy as well;we have :

$T_2 +V_{2 \to 3} = T_3 \\ \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} I_A \omega_2^2 - mgh =0$

$[\frac{1}{2} [875+2140(0.765^2+0.895^2)](0.4262 \ v_1)^2 -2140(9.81)[\sqrt{0.76^2+0.895^2} -0.765]] =0$

$706.93 \ v_1^2 - 8657.49 =0$

$706.93 \ v_1^2 = 8657.49$

$v_1^2 = \frac{8657.49}{706.93 }$

$v_1 ^2 = 12.25$

$v_1 = \sqrt{ 12.25$

$v_1 = 3.5 \ m/s$

Dimension of density <br>

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

We know that density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume.

$Ro = m/V$

where:

m = mass [kg]

V = volume [m³]

Therefore Ro is given in:

$[kg/m^{3} ]$

Determine the stopping distances for a car with an initial speed of 88 km/h and human reaction time of 2.0 s for the following a

seropon [69]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 88 km/h = 24.44 m/s

Reaction time, t = 2 s

Distance covered during this time, $d=24.44\times 2=48.88\ m$

(a) Acceleration, $a=-4\ m/s^2$

We need to find the stopping distance, v = 0. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

$s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$

$s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -4}$

s = 74.66 meters

s = 74.66 + 48.88 = 123.54 meters

(b) Acceleration, $a=-8\ m/s^2$

$s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$

$s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -8}$

s = 37.33 meters

s = 37.33 + 48.88 = 86.21 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

You drop a rock down a well that is 5.4 m deep. How long does it take the rock to hit the bottom of the well?

Natali5045456 [20]

Equation of motion:

$y_{f}=y_{o}+v_{o}t+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

Since initial velocity is zero, the second term goes away:

$y_{f}=y_{o}+0+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}=y_{o}+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}-y_{o}= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}-y_{o}=5.4m$

$5.4m= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$\frac{2(5.4m) }{a} = t^{2}$

$a = g = 9.81 \frac{m}{ s^{2}}$

$\frac{2(5.4m) }{9.81 \frac{m}{ s^{2} } } = t^{2}$

$1.1 s^{2} = t^{2}$ $\sqrt{1.1 s^{2}} = \sqrt{t^{2}}$

<u><em> $t = 1.05s$ </em></u>
