The time lapse between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Velocity of sound (v) = 343 m/s

Distance (x) = 8.42 m

Time (t) =?

We can obtain obtained the time as illustrated below:

v = 2x / t

343 = 2 × 8.42 / t

343 = 16.84 / t

Cross multiply

343 × t = 16.84

Divide both side by 343

t = 16.84/343

t = 0.05 s

Thus, the time between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.

<h3>How does a bat know how far away something is?</h3>

A bat emits a sound wave and carefully listens to the echoes that return to it. The returning information is processed by the bat's brain in the same way that we processed our shouting sound with a stopwatch and calculator. The bat's brain determines the distance of an object by measuring how long it takes for a noise to return.

A loaded ore car has a mass of 950 kg and rolls on rails with negligible friction. It starts from rest and is pulled up a mine s

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

a). P=11.04kW

b). Pmax=11.38 kW

c). Wt=6423.166kJ

Explanation:

The power of the motor when the speed is constant is the work in a determinate time.

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

The work is the force the is applicated in a distance so

W=F*d

replacing:

$P=F*\frac{d}{t}$ and $\frac{d}{t}$ determinate distance in time is velocity so

a).

$P=F*v$

$F=m*a\\F=m*g*sin(33.5)$

$P=950kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*sin(33.5)*2.15\frac{m}{s}\\P=11047.846 W\\P=11.0478 kW$

b).

The maximum power must the motor provide, is the maximum force with the maximum speed of the motor in this case

The first step is find the acceleration so

$vi=0\frac{m}{s} \\vf=2.15 \frac{m}{s}\\vf=vi+a*t\\vf-vi=a*t\\ a=\frac{vf-vi}{t}= a=\frac{2.15\frac{m}{s}-0\frac{m}{s}}{13s}\\a=0.1653 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The maximum force is when the car is accelerating so

$Ft=Fa+Fg\\Ft=m*a+m*g*sin(33.5)\\Ft=950kg*0.1653\frac{m}{s^{2}}+950*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*sin(33.5)\\Ft=5295.565 N$

so the maximum force is the maximum force by the maximum speed

$Pmax=Ft*v\\Pmax=5295.565N*2.15\frac{m}{s}\\Pmax=11385.46\\Pmax=11.3854kW$

c).

The total energy transfer without any friction is the weight move in the high axis y in this case, so is easy to know that distance

W=m*g*h

h=Length*sin(33.5)

W=m*g*Length*sin(33.5)

W=950 kg*9.8* 1250m*sin(33.5)

W=6423166.667 kJ

W=6423.166 kJ

The earth's radius is 6.37×106m; it rotates once every 24 hours.What is the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

v = 120 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

earth's radius; r = 6.37 × 10^(6) m

Angular speed; ω = 2π/(24 × 3600) = 7.27 × 10^(-5) rad/s

Now, we want to find the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3/4 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator.

The angle will be;

θ = ¾ × 90

θ = 67.5

¾ is multiplied by 90° because the angular distance from the pole is 90 degrees.

The speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3/4 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator will be:

v = r(cos θ) × ω

v = 6.37 × 10^(6) × cos 67.5 × 7.27 × 10^(-5)

v = 117.22 m/s

Approximation to 2 sig. figures gives;

v = 120 m/s
