Textbook Question

Chapter 25.2, Problem 2EYU

A distant galaxy is moving away from the Earth. (a) Is the speed of the light we see from the galaxy greater than, less than, or equal to c? (b) Is the frequency of the light we receive from the galaxy Doppler shifted to a higher frequency, Doppler shifted to a lower frequency or at the same frequency at which it was omitted?

Car A starts from rest at t = 0 and travels along a straight road with a constant acceleration of 6 ft/s^2 until it reaches a speed of 60ft/s. Afterwards it maintains the speed. Also, when t = 0, car B located 6000 ft down the road is traveling towards A at a constant speed of 80 ft/s. Determine the distance traveled by Car A when they pass each other.Write the solution using pen and draw the graph if needed.

In the given circuit the charge on the plates of 1 μF capacitor, when 100 V battery is connected to the terminals A and B, will be 2 μF A 1 µF B 3 µF

The velocity of a particle moves along the x-axis and is given by the equation ds/dt = 40 - 3t^2 m/s. Calculate the acceleration at time t=2 s and t=4 s. Calculate also the total displacement at the given interval. Assume at t=0 s=5m.Write the solution using pen and draw the graph if needed.
