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

A motor-driven winch pulls a 50.0 kg student 5.00 m up the rope at a constant speed of 1.25 m/s. how much power does the motor u
nadya68 [22]
Power is the rate work done given by dividing work done by unit time. It is measured in watts equivalent to J/s.
In this case the force by the student is mg = 490 N (taking g as 9.8m/s²)
Work done is given by force × distance,
Therefore, Power =(force × distance)/ time, but velocity/speed =distance/time
Thus, Power = force × speed/velocity
                     = 490 N × 1.25
                     = 612.5 J/S (Watts)
Hence, power will be 612.5 Watts.

givi [52]

Answer:

G \sqrt{1 +(\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}} = 1

If we square both sides we got:

G^2 (1+\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}= 1

We divide both sides by G^2 and we got:

(1+\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n} = \frac{1}{G^2}

Now we can apply log on both sides and we got:

2n ln(1+\frac{f}{f_c}) = ln (\frac{1}{G^2})

And solving for n we got:

n = \frac{ ln (\frac{1}{G^2})}{2ln(1+\frac{f}{f_c})}

And replacing we got:

n = \frac{ln (\frac{1}{0.1^2})}{2ln(1+\frac{60}{10})}

n = \frac{4.60517}{3.8918}=1.18

And since n needs to be an integer the correct answer would be n=2 for the filter order.

Explanation:

For this case we can use the formula for the Butterworth filter gain given by:

[tec] G = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 +(\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}}}[/tex]

Where:

G represent the transfer function and we want that G =0.1 since the desired signal is less than 10% of it's value

f_c = 10 Hz represent the corner frequency

f= 60 Hz represent the original frequency

n represent the filter order and that's the variable that we need to find

G \sqrt{1 +(\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}} = 1

If we square both sides we got:

G^2 (1+\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}= 1

We divide both sides by G^2 and we got:

(1+\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n} = \frac{1}{G^2}

Now we can apply log on both sides and we got:

2n ln(1+\frac{f}{f_c}) = ln (\frac{1}{G^2})

And solving for n we got:

n = \frac{ ln (\frac{1}{G^2})}{2ln(1+\frac{f}{f_c})}

And replacing we got:

n = \frac{ln (\frac{1}{0.1^2})}{2ln(1+\frac{60}{10})}

n = \frac{4.60517}{3.8918}=1.18

And since n needs to be an integer the correct answer would be n=2 for the filter order.
