A police officer uses a radar gun that emits electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 10.525 GHz (1.0525 1010 Hz). Assume the police officer is at rest, and is aiming the radar gun at vehicles traveling either directly toward, or directly away from, the radar gun. Assume the speed limit is 110 km/h, as it is on many Canadian highways. The police officer observes reflected waves that have a frequency of 2460 Hz below the frequency of the emitted waves. Required:
a. At what speed is the car moving?
b. Choose the two correct statements about this situation.

1. The car is moving toward the police officer.
2. The car is moving away from the police officer.
3. The police officer should not cite the driver for speeding.
4. The police officer should cite the driver for speeding.

Boxing gloves are padded to lessen the force of a blow. (a) calculate the force exerted by a boxing glove on an opponent’s face, if the glove and face compress 7.50 cm during a blow in which the 7.00-kg arm and glove are brought to rest from an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. (b) calculate the force exerted by an identical blow in the gory old days when no gloves were used and the knuckles and face would compress only 2.00 cm. (c) discuss the magnitude of the force with glove on. does it seem high enough to cause damage even though it is lower than the force with no glove?

As you are trying to move a heavy box of mass m, you realize that it is too heavy for you to lift by yourself. there is no one around to , so you attach an ideal pulley to the box and a massless rope to the ceiling, which you wrap around the pulley. you pull up on the rope to lift the box. use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity and neglect friction forces. once you have pulled hard enough to start the box moving upward, what is the magnitude f of the upward force you must apply to the rope to start raising the box with constant velocity? express the magnitude of the force in terms of m, the mass of the box.
