Calculating Doppler Frequency Shift for Ultrasonic Waves

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the Doppler frequency shift for ultrasonic waves given a frequency of 5 MHz, a target velocity of 0.1 m/s, and an angle of 60 degrees. The relevant equation used is f = 2 * vr * fs * cos / c. While the answer appears correct, it does not adhere to the rules of significant digits, as the inputs have only one significant figure. Therefore, the final answer should be expressed as 3 x 10^2 Hz to reflect the proper significant figures. Overall, the calculation is mostly accurate, but attention to significant digits is necessary.

Looks ok, except that it violates the usual rules of significant digits. Since the given frequency and speed have only one such the answer should be given as ##3\times 10^2##Hz. On the other hand, the question setter might not have intended that.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'
I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
