Why are you able to observe the Doppler Effect with sound waves on Earth but not light waves?

The doppler effect is when waves’ wavelengths get squished when the source is moving toward you or stretched when the source is moving away from you. it can be observed with sound waves but not light waves because the speed of light is just too fast, meaning that we can’t move toward or away fast enough. (also some stuff with relativity).

An airplane accelerates from rest to its required takeoff speed with an acceleration 5.0 m/s^2 after travelling on the runway a

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

.75 km = 750 m

acceleration a = 5 m/s²

distance s = 750 m

initial velocity u = 0

Final velocity v = ?

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2 x 5 x 750

v = 86.60 m /s.

0.180-kg stone rets on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A bullet of mass 7.50 g, traveling horizontally at 390 m/s, strikes t

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The magnitud of the velocity is

$8.46m/s$

and the direccion:

$-28.3$ degrees from the horizontal.

Explanation:

Fist we define our variables:

$m_{s}=0.18kg\\m_{b}=7.5g = 0.0075kg\\v_{1b}= 390m/s -i\\v_{1s}=0m/s\\v_{2b}=210m/s -j\\v_{2s}=?$

The letters i and j represent the direction of the movement, i in this case is the horizontal direction, and j is perpendicular to i.

velocities with sub-index 1 are the speeds before the crash, and with sub-index 2 are the velocities after the crash.

Using conservation of momentum:

$m_{s}v_{1s}+m_{b}v_{1b}=m_{s}v_{2s}+m_{b}v_{2b}\\v_{1s}=0, so\\m_{b}v_{1b}=m_{s}v_{2s}+m_{b}v_{2b}$

Clearing for the velocity of the stone after the crash:

$v_{2s}=\frac{m_{b}v_{1b}-m_{b}v_{2b}}{m_{s}}$

Substituting known values:

$v_{2s}=\frac{0.0075kg(((390m/s-i)-210m/s-j)}{0.18kg}\\v_{2s}=(16.25m/s-i) - (8.75m/s-j)$

The magnitud of the velocity is :

$|v_{2s}|=\sqrt{(16.25m/s-i)^2 + (8.75m/s-j)^2}\\|v_{2s}|=18.46m/s$

and the direction:

$tan^{-1}(-8.75/16.25)=-28.3$

this is -28.3 degrees from the +i direction or the horizontal direcction.

Note: i and j can also be seen as x and y axis.
