A police car is at rest parallel to the highway and measures the speed of cars. It sends the signal with a frequency of 1200 Hz,

it bounces off the moving car (it is traveling toward or away from the signal emitted) and the radar gun measures the frequency of the signal received. For one car suspected of speeding the received frequency was 1100 Hz. The speed of sound is approximately 350 m/s (note our radar gun uses sound waves rather than electromagnetic waves)
a. How fast was the car moving?
b. Was it moving towards or away from the police car?
c. The police car follows it by moving towards the suspicious car with the speed Upolice-50m/s. What is the frequency the radar gun is measuring now?

Answer:

a) The car was moving at a speed of 29.167\ m.s^{-1}

b) The negative sign of v_o denotes that the observer is coming towards the police car which is the source of the sound.

c) f_o=1283.33\ Hz

Explanation:

Given:

  • original frequency of the source, f=1200\ Hz
  • speed of the source, v_s=0\ m.s^{-1}
  • velocity of the obstacle car be, v_o
  • speed of sound, s=350\ m.s^{-1}
  • observed frequency, f_o=1100\ Hz

<u>Using the equation from the Doppler's effect:</u>

\frac{f_o}{f} =\frac{(s+v_o)}{(s-v_s)}

\frac{1100}{1200} =\frac{(350+v_o)}{350-0}

v_o=-29.167\ m.s^{-1}

a)

The car was moving at a speed of 29.167\ m.s^{-1}

b)

The negative sign of v_o denotes that the observer is coming towards the police car which is the source of the sound.

c)

Now when, v_s=50\ m.s^{-1}

Then, f_o=?

Using the Doppler's eq.:

\frac{f_o}{1200} =\frac{(350+(-29.167))}{(350-50)}

f_o=1283.33\ Hz

An alert physics student stands beside the tracks as a train rolls slowly past. He notes that the frequency of the train whistle
Dovator [93]

Answer:The velocity of the train is 3.84m/s

Explanation:

According to the Doppler effect, if the source is moving towards you then the apparent frequency of the sound emitted by the source is higher and if the source is moving away from you then the apparent frequency of the sound emitted by the source is smaller.

This is given by:

fo = V +-Vo/ V +-Vo × source

Where fo= observed frequency

V= velocity of sound

Vo= vo it of the observer

fsource= frequency the source

Given:

Observed frequency of the approaching train fo1= 452Hz

The observed frequency of train= fo2= 442Hz

Velocity of sound= 334m/s

Velocity of source=?

Train approaching the observer is given by:

fo1= V/(V - Vs)× source ...eq1

Train passes the student is given by:

fo2= V/(V - Vs)×source ...eq2

Divide eq1 by eq2

452/442 = (343+Vs)/(343 - Vs)

1.02 =(343+Vs)/(343 -Vs)

Cross multiply

1.02(343- Vs) = 343 + Vs

350.76 - 1.02Vs = 343 + Vs

Collecting like terms

350.76 -343= 1.02Vs+ Vs

7.76 = 2.02Vs

Vs= 7.76/2.02

Vs= 3.84m/s

A heater is being designed that uses a coil of 14-gauge nichrome wire to generate 300 W using a voltage of V = 110 V . How long
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The length of the wire is 83.2 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of heater, P = 300 W

Voltage, V = 110 V

The resistivity of nichrome wire is, \rho=100\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

The electric power of a wire is given by :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\\R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\\R=\dfrac{(110)^2}{300}\\\\R=40.34\ \Omega

Area of cross section of the wire is :

A=\pi r^2\\\\A=\pi (0.000815)^2\\\\A=2.08\times 10^{-6}\ m^2

Resistance of a material is given by :

R=\rho \dfrac{L}{A}\\\\L=\dfrac{RA}{\rho}\\\\L=\dfrac{40\times 2.08\times 10^{-6}}{10^{-6}}\\\\L=83.2\ m

So, the length of the wire is 83.2 m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Describe the quantum mechanical model of the atom and several observations which support this model.
PIT_PIT [208]

This means that we shouldn't imagine electrons as single objects going around the atom. Instead, all we know is the probability of finding an electron at a particular location. What we end up with is something called an electron cloud. An electron cloud is an area of space in which an electron is likely to be found. It's like a 3-D graph showing the probability of finding the electron at each location in space. Quantum mechanics also tells us that a particle has certain numbers (called quantum numbers) that represent its properties. Just like how materials can be hard or soft, shiny or dull, particles have numbers to describe the properties. These include a particle's orbital quantum numbers, magnetic quantum number, and its spin. No two electrons in an atom can have exactly the same quantum numbers. Orbital quantum numbers tell you what energy level the electron is in. In the Bohr model, this represents how high the orbit is above the nucleus; higher orbits have more energy. The first orbit is n=1, the second is n=2, and so on. The magnetic quantum number is just a number that represents which direction the electron is pointing. The other important quantum mechanical property, called spin, is related to the fact that electrons come in pairs. In each pair, one electron spins one way (with a spin of one half), and the other electron spins the other way (with a spin of negative one half). Two electrons with the same spin cannot exist as a pair. This might seem kind of random, but it has effects in terms of how magnetic material is. Materials that have unpaired electrons are more likely to be magnetic
