(physics homework) need help rearranging an equation?

Hey flood, I need help with physics. I need to rearrange the Doppler effect [b]fo=fs(v/v+vs)[/b] so that [b]vs[/b] is the subject of the equation. Cheers to whoever helps me.

  • 1) Replace all quantities in the equation with single letters. 2) Put the equation into [url]http://www.wolframalpha.com[/url]. 3) Add "make X the subject of the equation" to the end. 4) Fin. Or, of course, you could put a bit of effort in and learn absic algebra. Your call. [Edited on 12.17.2012 2:22 PM PST]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MickelPickel vs=(fo/fs)-v/v You're welcome. But I think you may have the wrong equation (or are using an extremely simplified version of the Doppler Equation).[/quote] Probably. I tried searching on the internet but all the variations of the doppler effect seem to be more complicated, or at least different. Thanks to everyone.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Hylebos Assuming that your equation is properly parenthesized (the v/v is suspicious), then divide by fs, then subtract v/v.[/quote]Im assuming it is supposed to be fo=fs*(v/(v+vs)) Bit more clarity there.

  • Its probably vs = (fsv - fov)/fo

  • fo(v+vs)=fs(v) v+vs=fs(v)/fo vs=(fs(v)/fo)-v ? [Edited on 12.17.2012 1:55 PM PST]
