Slick willy is in traffic court (again) contesting a $50.00 ticket for running a red light. "you see, your honor, as i was approaching the light, it appeared yellow to me because of the doppler effect. the red light from the traffic signal was shifteed up in frequency because i was traveling towards it, just like the pitch of an approaching car rises as it approaches you." calculate how fast slick willy must have been driving, in meters per second, to observe the red light (wavelength of 683 nm) as yellow (wavelength of 575 nm). (treat the traffic light as stationary, and assume the doppler shift formula for sound works for light as well.)

While studying chemical reactions and conservation of matter, sarah's class conducted a variety of experiments. sarah and her lab partner found the mass of a wax candle and placed the candle in a flask. the students lit the candle and let it burn to completion. all that was left was wax and charred candle wick. per their teacher's instructions, the students found the mass of the products. their data can be seen in the data table. formulate a hypothesis the students could test to explain why the experiment did not support the law of conservation of matter. a) the students could repeat the experiment using different candles; there might have been a flaw in the candle. b) the experiment should be repeatable. the students should run several trials and then take an average of the after mass in each trial. c) the students should have someone in the class check their measurement skills as they repeat the experiment. they may have made an error using the balance. d) the students should burn the candle in a container that has some type of lid so that any gas that is a product of the reaction can be contained and massed. submit

An isolated conducting spherical shell carries a positive charge. part a which statement (or statements) about the electric field and the electric potential inside and outside the spherical shell is correct? which statement (or statements) about the electric field and the electric potential inside and outside the spherical shell is correct? electric potential inside the shell is constant and outside the shell is changing as 1/r2 both the electric potential and the electric field does change with r inside and outside the spherical shell electric potential inside and outside the shell is constant, but not zero electric potential inside the shell is constant and outside the shell is equal to zero electric field inside and outside the shell is constant (does not change with the position r), but is not equal to zero electric field inside and outside the shell is changing as 1/r (where r is the distance from the center of the sphere) electric field inside is equal to zero and outside the shell is constant, but not zero electric potential inside the shell is constant and outside the shell is changing as 1/r electric field inside and outside the shell is changing as 1/r2 electric field inside is equal to zero and outside the shell is changing as 1/r2 electric field inside and outside the shell is zero electric field inside is constant and outside the shell is changing as 1/r
