The Doppler shift for a Doppler radar is found by f=fR(1+vc1vc) , where fR is the frequency of the radar, f is the frequency observed by the radar, c is the speed of light, and v is the speed of the target. What is the beat frequency observed at the radar, assuming the speed of the target is much slower than the speed of light?
Standing at the base of one of the cliffs of Mt. Arapiles in Victoria, Australia, a hiker hears a rock break loose from a height of 105.0 in. He can’t see the rock right away, but then does, 1.50 s later. (a) How far above the hiker is the rock when he can hear it? (b) How much time does he have to move before the rock hits his head?
Wind gusts create ripples on the ocean that have a wavelength at 5.00 cm and propagate at 2.00m/s. What is their frequency?
During a thunderstorm, a frightened child is soothed by learning to estimate the distance to a lightning strike by counting the time between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder (Fig. P2.25). The speed vs of sound in air depends on the air temperature, but assume the value is 343 m/s. The speed of light c is 3.00 108 m/s. a. A child sees the lightning and then counts to eight slowly before hearing the thunder. Assume the light travel time is negligible. Estimate the distance to the lightning strike. b. Using your estimate in part (a), find the light travel time. Is it fair to neglect the light travel time? c. Think about how time was measured in this problem. Is it fair to neglect the difference between the speed of sound in cold air (vs at 0C = 331.4 m/s) and the speed of sound in very warm air (vs at 40C = 355.4 m/s)?
The speed of sound is measured to be 342 m/s on a certain day. What is this in km/h?
A student drops a water-filled balloon from the roof of the tallest building in town trying to hit her roommate on the ground (who is too quick). The first student ducks back but hears the water splash 4.021 s after dropping the balloon. If the speed of sound is 331 m/s, find the height of the building, neglecting air resistance.
10 B. Suppose that you put your left ear down against a railroad track, and your friend one kilometer away strikes the track with a hammer. a). How much sooner will the sound get to your left ear than to your right ear? (The speed of sound is about 5950 m/s in steel and 340 m/s in air.) b). Draw a sketch to support your results and include given information, formulas and calculations. Your answer
It says that these are wrong
Question 2 If the speed of sound in air at 0 °C is 331 m/s. What will be the speed of sound in air at 50 °C? 299 m/s 142 m/s 331 m/s 360 m/s None of these. A Moving to another question will ave this response. ch 45
