A bicyclist is pedaling down a road at 8 m/sec. A car approaches him from behind. When the car is preparing to pass he sounds his horn. At first the bicyclist hears a frequency of 520 HZ but the sound appears to drop in frequency to 470 HZ after the car passes. a) How fast is the car moving? (v sound = 340 m/sec)(answer to nearest whole number) b) what is the actual frequency of the horn (don't assume it...

Sirens wailing, a black government car pushes through the traffic, past the beggars and street vendors, up a potholed road. Vehicles like these, the perks of a growing number of political appointees, are a common sight in Accra—and a source of popular outrage. Since Nana Akufo-Addo took office as president in January 2017 the number of government ministers has soared by 42% to 125, each with a car, guards and a taxpayer-funded home. Outside Ghana Mr Akufo-Addo has been hailed...

Objects that move in a straight line with a constant speed—not speeding up or slowing down—have zero acceleration. We call this kind of motion: Uniform Motion. We can identify uniform motion when the object travels equal distance intervals in equal times. We can identify non-uniform motion, or accelerated motion, when the object travels equal distance intervals in unequal times. Finally, we have two types of non-uniform motion: motion with constant acceleration and motion with a non-constant (or changing) acceleration. Activity...

A police cruiser, approaching a right-angled intersection from the north, is chasing a speeding car that has turned the corner and is now moving straight east. When the cruiser is 1 mi north of the intersection and the car is 1 mi to the east, the police determine with radar that the distance between them and the car is increasing at    2–√     mph. If the cruiser is moving at 60 mph at the instant of measurement, what is the speed of the...
