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

Monochromatic light with a wavelength of 6.4 E -7 meter passes through two narrow slits, producing an interference pattern on a
seropon [69]

Answer:

The distance between the slits is given by  1.3 × 10^{-4} m

Given:

\lambda = 6.4 \times 10^{-7} m

D = 4 m

y = 2 \times 10^{-2} m

m = 1

To find:

distance between slits, d = ?

Formula used:

y = \frac{m \times \lambda \times D}{d}

y = distance of first bright band from central maxima

D = distance between screen and source

d = distance between slits

\lambda = wavelength

Solution:

distance of first bright band from central maxima is given by,

y = \frac{m \times \lambda \times D}{d}

y = distance of first bright band from central maxima

D = distance between screen and source

d = distance between slits

\lambda = wavelength

Thus,

d = \frac{m \times \lambda \times D}{y}

d = \frac{1 \times 6.4 \times 10^{-7} \times 4 }{2 \times 10^{-2} }

d = 1.28 × 10^{-4}

d = 1.3 × 10^{-4} m

The distance between the slits is given by  1.3 × 10^{-4} m

Can you change the weight of something without changing the mass?
svlad2 [7]

yes because your mass doesn't change but your weight can


ex- if you travel to Saturn your weight would change but your mass would stay the same

Answer: C. Metals are found on the left side of the periodic table.

Explanation:

The periodic table contains vertical columns called as groups and horizontal rows called as periods.

Period 2 contains 8 elements which are lithium, beryllium , boron , carbon, nitrogen, oxygen , fluorine and neon. Only Lithium and beryllium are metals.

Group 18 contains all the noble gases which are all non metals.

Metals are the elements which loose electrons easily and form positive ions. Non-metals are the elements which can gain electrons easily and form negative ions.

Metals are present on left side of the periodic table and as we move to right side of the periodic table , the metallic character decreases and thus non metals are found on the right side of the periodic table.

A charge of 8.4 × 10–4 C moves at an angle of 35° to a magnetic field that has a field strength of 6.7 × 10–3 T.
sineoko [7]

Answer:10842.33m/s

Explanation:

F=qvBsine

V=f/(qBsine)

V=(3.5×10^-2)÷(8.4×10^-4×6.7×10^-3×sin35)

V=10842.33m/s
