The frequency shift your FuzzFoiler 2000 radar detector will see is 10.6 GHz.

<h3>Doppler effect</h3>

The doppler effect show the frequency shift of a source of sound relative to an observer depending on their relative motion.

The frequency shift f' = f(v ± v')/(v ± v") where

  • f = frequency of source = 9.50 GHz,
  • v = speed of sound = 330 m/s,
  • v' = speed of detector = speed of car = 37.9 m/s and
  • v" = speed of source = 0 m/s (since the highway patrol car is stationary)

Since the detector (our car) approaches the source (the radar gun), we use the positive sign in the numerator and a negative in the denominator

So, f' = f(v + v')/(v - v")

Since v" = 0, we have

f' = f(v + v')/(v - 0)

<h3>The frequency shift</h3>

f' = f(v + v')/v

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

f' = 9.50 GHz(330 m/s + 37.9 m/s)/330 m/s

f' = 9.50 GHz(367.9 m/s)/330 m/s

f' = 9.50 Ghz × 1.115

f' = 10.6 GHz

So, the frequency shift your FuzzFoiler 2000 radar detector will see is 10.6 GHz.

A Perspex container has a 6 cm square base and contains
crimeas [40]

Answer:

a) V = 252 cm³

b) Vs = 72 cm³

Explanation:

a)

The volume of the water can be given by the following formula:

Volume\ of\ Water = V = (Base\ Area)(Height)\\V = (Length)^2(Height)\\V = (6\ cm)^2(7\ cm)\\

<u>V = 252 cm³</u>

<u></u>

b)

The volume of stone can be given by the change in volume of the water when the stone is dipped into it.

Volume\ of\ Stone = Vs = (Length)^2(Change\ in\ Height\ of\ Water)\\Vs = (6\ cm)^2(9\ cm - 7\ cm)\\

<u>Vs = 72 cm³</u>

A 2kg bowling ball rolls at a speed of 5 m/s on a roof of the building that is 40 meters tall. What is the kinetic energy
MrRa [10]
The kinetic energy is \frac 1 2 m v^2 and the height of the building doesn't matter at all.

E = \frac 1 2 m v^2 = \frac 1 2 (2)(5)^2 = 25 joules
