A sensor uses ultrasound to measure position and velocity of a moving cart in 1 dimension.

A sensor uses ultrasound to measure position and velocity of a moving cart in 1 dimension. It emits acoustic waves at 25 kHz and the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. The maximum range of the cart from the wave emitter is 3 meters.

A: If the sensor wants to measure distance position accurately to within 1cm of the cart, what is the maximum velocity the cart can have and not change position by more than 1cm while the wave is traveling to and from the cart?

B: If the cart is moving at the max speed from part A, what will be the measured change in the frequency of the reflected wave coming back at the wave source? Calculate f’’ for the cart moving towards the sensor and away from the sensor.

C: If the sensor wants to measure velocity to within 1% of its max value, how accurately does it need to be able to measure the frequency of the reflected wave?

Solve for the motion of a free particle moving in one dimension with initial position and...

Solve for the motion of a free particle moving in one dimension with initial position and initial momentum using Hamilton –Jacobi theory. Please be sure to use the fact that the resulting Kamiltonian vanishes to simplify your work. Comment on the results you find.

Imagine cart 1 with initial velocity v1i collides with cart 2 with initial velocity v2i =...

Imagine cart 1 with initial velocity v1i collides with cart 2 with initial velocity v2i = 0, where they then move together as a single mass (attached by velcro). Sketch the expected center of mass position over time graph. Assume t = 0 corresponds to the moment immediately after the impulse to cart 1 is delivered and assume equal masses (m1 = m2). Ignoring the effects of friction, is the above collision elastic or inelastic? Why?

Two objects, moving in one dimension, undergo an isolated collision. Object A has initial velocity 1 m/s. Object B has an initial velocity -3 m/s. After the collision, the relative velocity of the two objects is vAB=+2 m/s. The reduced mass of the two objects is ⅔ kg. What is the change in total kinetic energy of the entire system during this collision? (If it decreases, make your answer negative.) Express your answer in units of Joules, but enter only...

1) Imagine an object moving horizontally with uniform (that is, constant) velocity. Sketch the position time and velocity-time graphs for this motion. 2) Imagine tossing an object straight up into the air, then catching it. Sketch the position-time and velocity-time graphs for this motion, from the moment it leaves your hand to the moment just before it lands in your hand. 3) Imagine tossing a ball slightly upwards and towards another person. Consider the motion from the moment the ball...

9. An experiment uses microphone moving toward a speaker as a way to measure the speed of sound in different media. In air, the frequency heard by the moving microphone is 20% higher than the frequency of the sound when the microphone is at rest. When the gas in the experimental system is replaced by helium, the frequency heard by the moving microphone is now only 6.8% higher than when the microphone is at rest. Based on this information, what...
