Slick willy is in traffic court (again) contesting a $50.00 ticket for running a red light. "you see, your honor, as i was approaching the light, it appeared yellow to me because of the doppler effect. the red light from the traffic signal was shifteed up in frequency because i was traveling towards it, just like the pitch of an approaching car rises as it approaches you." calculate how fast slick willy must have been driving, in meters per second, to observe the red light (wavelength of 683 nm) as yellow (wavelength of 575 nm). (treat the traffic light as stationary, and assume the doppler shift formula for sound works for light as well.)

A250-n box is at rest on a frictionless horizotal floor. then a person shoves the box with a non-zero force of magnitude p. which statement best describes the relationship betweeen p and the motion of the box after it was shoved? -the box will not move when p< 250n but otherwise will accelerate at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p - the box will begin moving at a speed that is directly proportional to p, then will gradually slow to a halt -the box will move with constant velocity at a speed that is directly proportional to p -box will accelerate across the floor at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p
