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.
 
Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'
Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
TL;DR Summary: Find Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes using Gauss law at any point Here's the diagram. We have a uniform p (rho) density of charges between 2 infinite planes in the cartesian coordinates system. I used a cube of thickness a that spans from z=-a/2 to z=a/2 as a Gaussian surface, each side of the cube has area A. I know that the field depends only on z since there is translational invariance in x and y directions because the planes are...
