Police radar guns measure the speed of moving vehicles by transmitting electromagnetic waves at a vehicle and detecting a Doppler shift in the reflected wave. Suppose a police radar transmits at a frequency of 23.8 GHz and receives wave reflected from a car moving toward the radar at 75.0 mph. (a) Find the frequency shift Af=fo - fg (in Hz) between the observed (received) and source (transmitted) frequencies. Hz (b) If the beat frequency measurement in part (a) is accurate to +5.5 Hz, how accurate is the speed measurement? m/s

The mass of a pigeon hawk is twice that of the pigeons it hunts. Suppose a pigeon is gliding north at a speed of ?P=18.2 m/svP=18.2 m/s when a hawk swoops down, grabs the pigeon, and flies off, as shown in the figure. The hawk was flying north at a speed of ?H=33.1 m/s,vH=33.1 m/s, at an angle ?=45∘θ=45∘ below the horizontal at the instant of the attack.
