Consider a spiral galaxy that is moving directly away from Earth with a speed V = 3.040×105 m/s at its center, as shown in the figure(Figure 1). The galaxy is also rotating about its center, so that points in its spiral arms are moving with a speed v = 6.650×105 m/s relative to the center.

If light with a frequency of 8.213×1014 Hz is emitted in both arms of the galaxy, what frequency is detected by astronomers observing the arm that is moving toward the Earth? (Measurements of this type are used to map out the speed of various regions in distant, rotating galaxies.)

If light with a frequency of 8.213×1014 Hz is emitted in both arms of the galaxy, what frequency is detected by astronomers observing the arm that is moving away from Earth?

(answer in Hz)

A distant galaxy is simultaneously rotating and receding from the earth. As the drawing shows, the galactic center is receding from the earth at a relative speed of uG = 1.70 106 m/s. Relative to the center, the tangential speed is vT = 5.00 105 m/s for locations A and B, which are equidistant from the center. When the frequencies of the light coming from regions A and B are measured on earth, they are not the same and each...

A distant galaxy is simultaneously rotating and receding from the earth. As the drawing shows, the galactic center is receding from the earth at a relative speed of up = 1.6 x 10^6 m/s. Relative to the center, the tangential speed is vr = 0.4 x 10^6 m/s for locations A and B, which are equidistant from the center. When the frequencies of the light coming from regions A and B are measured on earth, they are not the same...

A speeder is pulling directly away and increasing his distance from a police car that is moving at 25.1 m/s with respect to the ground. The radar gun in the police car emits an electromagnetic wave with a frequency of 6.98×109 Hz. The wave reflects from the speeder's car and returns to the police car, where its frequency is measured to be 312 Hz less than the emitted frequency. Calculate the speeder's speed with respect to the ground.

A speeder is pulling directly away and increasing his distance from a police car that is moving at 29 m/s with respect to the ground. The radar gun in the police car emits an electromagnetic wave with a frequency of 7.00 109 Hz. The wave reflects from the speeder's car and returns to the police car, where its frequency is measured to be 326 Hz less than the emitted frequency. Find the speeder's speed with respect to the ground.
