You are driving along a highway at 35.0 m/s when you hear the siren of a police car approaching you from behind at constant spee

d and you perceive the frequency as 1340 Hz. You are relieved that he is in pursuit of a different driver when he continues past you, but now you perceive the frequency as 1300 Hz.What is the speed of the police car?

Answer:

40.13491 m/s

Explanation:

v_r =  My speed = 35 m/s

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 Hz

v_s = Speed of the police car

When the car is approaching

f=f'\dfrac{v-v_r}{v-v_s}\\\Rightarrow 1340=f'\dfrac{343-35}{343-v_s}

When the car is receding

f=f'\dfrac{v+v_r}{v+v_s}\\\Rightarrow 1300=f'\dfrac{343+35}{343+v_s}

Dividing the equations

\dfrac{1340}{1300}=\dfrac{f'\dfrac{343-35}{343-v_s}}{f'\dfrac{343+35}{343+v_s}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1340}{1300}=\dfrac{22\left(v_s+343\right)}{27\left(-v_s+343\right)}\\\Rightarrow -36180v_s+12409740-12409740=28600v_s+9809800-12409740\\\Rightarrow \frac{-64780v_s}{-64780}=\frac{-2599940}{-64780}\\\Rightarrow v_s=\frac{129997}{3239}\\\Rightarrow v_s=40.13491\ m/s

The speed of the police car is 40.13491 m/s

Consider a person standing in an elevator that is moving at constant speed upward. The person, of mass m, has two forces acting
larisa [96]

Answer:

The weight of the person has a smaller magnitude.

Explanation:

For an observer in inertial frame of reference for the person in the elevator Newton's Second Law can be written as

Normal reaction acts upwards

Weight acts downwards

\sum F_{v}=ma_{v}\\\\N-mg=m\times a_{v}\\\\m\times a_{v}> 0\\\\\therefore N-mg> 0\\\\\therefore N> mg

Here

N is the normal reaction force

mg is the weight of the person

g is acceleration due to gravity

In a closed system, the loss of momentum of one object_____ the gain in momentum of another object.
densk [106]

In a closed system, the loss of momentum of one object  is same as________ the gain in momentum of another object

according to law of conservation of momentum, total momentum before and after collision in a closed system in absence of any net external force, remains conserved . that is

total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

P₁ + P₂ = P'₁ + P'₂

where P₁ and P₂ are momentum before collision for object 1 and object 2 respectively.

P'₁ - P₁  = - (P'₂ -  P₂)

so clearly gain in momentum of one object is same as the loss of momentum of other object

A system delivers 1275 j of heat while the surroundings perform 855 j of work on it. calculate ∆esys in j.
kakasveta [241]
The first law of thermodynamics says that the variation of internal energy of a system is given by:
\Delta U = Q + W
where Q is the heat delivered by the system, while W is the work done on the system.

We must be careful with the signs here. The sign convention generally used is:
Q positive = Q absorbed by the system
Q negative = Q delivered by the system
W positive = W done on the system
W negative = W done by the system

So, in our problem, the heat is negative because it is releaed by the system: 
Q=-1275 J
while the work is positive because it is performed by the surrounding on the system:
W=+855 J

So, the variation of internal energy of the system is
\Delta U = -1275 J+855 J=-420 J
