Textbook Question

Chapter 37, Problem 37.61P

Measuring Speed by Radar. A baseball coach uses a radar device to measure the speed of an approaching pitched baseball. This device sends out electromagnetic waves with frequency f₀ and then measures the shift in frequency Δf of the waves reflected from the moving baseball. If the fractional frequency shift produced by a baseball is Δf/f₀ = 2.86 × 10⁻⁷, what is the baseball’s speed in km/h? (Hint: Are the waves Doppler-shifted a second time when reflected off the ball?)

Car P moves to the west with constant speed v0 along a straight road. Car Q starts from rest at instant 1, and moves to the west with increasing speed. At instant 5, car Q has speed w0 relative to the road (w0 < v0). Instants 1-5 are separated by equal time intervals. At instant 3, cars P and Q are adjacent to one another (i.e., they have the same position). In the reference frame o f the road, at instant 3 i s the speed o f car Q greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of car P? Explain.
