Answer:

The direct answer to the question as written is as follows: nothing happens to gravity when someone jumps up - gravity continues exerting a force on the body of that particular someone proportional to (mass of someone) x (mass of Earth) / (distance squared). What you might be asking, however, is what is the net force acting on the body of someone jumping up. At the moment of someone jumping up there is an upward acceleration, i.e., an upward-directed force which counteracts the gravitational force - this is the net force ( a result of the jump force minus gravity). From that moment on, only gravity acts on the body. The someone moves upward gradually decelerating to the downward gravitational acceleration until they reaches the peak of the jump (zero velocity). Then, back to Earth.

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:
vo=source wave velocity
vr=relative speed between source and observer
f=apparent frequency
fo=source frequency

The velocity of the doppler wave is
v=λf

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.

a race car accelerates uniformly from 18.5 m/s to 46.1m/s in 2.47 seconds detrrmine the acceleration of the car and distance tra

LenaWriter [7]

Because acceleration is constant, the acceleration of the car at any time is the same as its average acceleration over the duration. So

$a=\dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{46.1\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-18.5\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{2.47\,\mathrm s}=11.2\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

Now, we have that

${v_f}^2-{v_0}^2=2a\Delta x$

so we end up with a distance traveled of

$\left(46.1\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2-\left(18.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2=2\left(11.2\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\Delta x$
