Answer 2

damn im lagging real bad

Answer 3

yep. mathchat exploded

Answer 4

Do you know the answer?

Answer 5

hes gonna destroy chat so im gonna x this out really quick

Answer 6

I froze for a min and okay LOL

Answer 7

Do you know the answer tho?

Answer 8

not really lel i need to tag peeps

@sleepyjess @Arcadiouse

Answer 9

What do you think it does? How does it work?

Answer 10

This should help you get what you need to make your own paragraph about it.


"A Doppler radar is a specialized radar that uses the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance. It does this by bouncing a microwave signal off a desired target and analyzing how the object's motion has altered the frequency of the returned signal."

Answer 11

Thanks

Answer 12

np

Answer 13

Wait, where did you get that information from? @Arcadiouse
Just curious

Answer 14

Knowledge and Google.

Answer 15

Answer 21

Yes it would.

Answer 22

ok thanks

Answer 23

Oh, Now i see. You got it straight from google

Answer 24

As far as I know, you shine a series of radio pulses at the thing you're tracking. The pulses are then REFLECTED back towards your DETECTOR, and because the thing is MOVING the radio wave pulses are DOPPLER SHIFTED IN FREQUENCY. I think it's also true that the time intervals between the outgoing radar pulses and the reflected radar pulses may be different.
In terms of the doppler effect, that's what causes the "red shift" you may have heard about in space science. More down to earth, its that funny sound you get when a train or other high speed thing making a noise come passed you. MIAAAAOWWWW type of thing. The frequency rises as it approaches you then drops as it goes past and away from you.
Some bloke called Doppler (german scientist ?) did the first analysis.

Answer 25

Sound is vibrating air, and the air vibrates in the direction of the sound travel (longitudinal). Light, radio, RADAR (all electromagnetic waves) are TRANSVERSE with the vibrations in a direction at 90 degrees to the direction of travel. I don't think that this is strictly relevant to the question, but if you stick it in then sir/miss might be impressed. MIGHT.
