A coyote can locate a sound source with good accuracy by comparing the arrival times of a sound wave at its two ears. Suppose a

coyote is listening to a bird whistling at 1250 Hz. The bird is 2.6 m away, directly in front of the coyote’s right ear. The coyote’s ears are 15 cm apart.
a. What is the difference in the arrival time of the sound at the left ear and the right ear? Hint: You are looking for the difference between two numbers that are nearly the same. What does this near equality imply about the necessary precision during intermediate stages of the calculation? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
b. What is the ratio of this time difference to the period of the sound wave? Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

a)  t_l - t_r = 12.54 us

b)  (t_l - t_r) / T = 0.0157  

Explanation:

Given:

- Frequency of source f = 1250 Hz

- Distance from source to right ear d_r = 2.6 m

- Distance from source to left ear d_l = ?

- Separation between ears s = 0.15 m

Find:

a. What is the difference in the arrival time of the sound at the left ear and the right ear?

b. What is the ratio of this time difference to the period of the sound wave?

Solution:

- Apply Pythagoras theorem to calculate the distance d_l from source to left ear:

                                      d_l = sqrt ( 2.6^2 + 0.15^2)

                                      d_l = sqrt ( 6.7825 )

                                      d_l = 2.6043 m

- The time deference can be calculated from a simple distance - speed formula:

                                      t_l - t_r = (1 / v) * ( d_l - d_r)

Where, v = 343 m/s speed of sound in air:

                                      t_l - t_r = (1 / 343) * ( 2.6043 - 2.6)  

                                      t_l - t_r = ( 0.0043 / 343 )

                                      t_l - t_r = 12.54 us

- Now we compute the Time period of the sound wave:

                                      T = 1 / f

                                      T = 1 / 1250 = 8*10^-4 s

- The ratio of differential time to Time period T is:

                                      (t_l - t_r) / T = 12.54 * 10^-6 / 8*10^-4

                                      (t_l - t_r) / T = 0.0157

A projectile is launched horizontally from a 20-m tall edifice with a vox of 25 m/s. How long will it take for the projectile to
NISA [10]

Answer:

a) First let's analyze the vertical problem:

When the projectile is on the air, the only vertical force acting on it is the gravitational force, then the acceleration of the projectile is the gravitational acceleration, and we can write this as:

a(t) = -9.8m/s^2

To get the vertical velocity we need to integrate over time to get:

v(t) = (-9.8m/s^2)*t + v0

where v0 is the initial vertical velocity because the object is thrown horizontally, we do not have any initial vertical velocity, then v0 = 0m/s

v(t) = (-9.8m/s^2)*t

To get the vertical position equation we need to integrate over time again, to get:

p(t) = (1/2)*(-9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + p0

where p0 is the initial position, in this case is the height of the edifice, 20m

then:

p(t) = (-4.9m/s^2)*t^2+ 20m

The projectile will hit the ground when p(t) = 0m, then we need to solve:

(-4.9m/s^2)*t^2+ 20m = 0m

20m = (4.9m/s^2)*t^2

√(20m/ (4.9m/s^2)) = t = 2.02 seconds

The correct option is a.

b) The range will be the total horizontal distance traveled by the projectile, as we do not have any horizontal force, we know that the horizontal velocity is 25 m/s constant.

Now we can use the relationship:

distance = speed*time

We know that the projectile travels for 2.02 seconds, then the total distance that it travels is:

distance = 2.02s*25m/s = 50.5m

Here the correct option is a.

c) Again, the horizontal velocity never changes, is 25m/s constantly, then here the correct option is option b. 25m/s

d) Here we need to evaluate the velocity equation in t = 2.02 seconds, this is the velocity of the projectile when it hits the ground.

v(2.02s) =  (-9.8m/s^2)*2.02s = -19.796 m/s

The velocity is negative because it goes down, and it matches with option d, so I suppose that the correct option here is option d (because the sign depends on how you think the problem)

Identify the labeled parts in the figure.
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

I. a, c, f and h

II. e

III. b, d, g and i

IV. i

Explanation:

I. Chemical symbols are simple abbreviations used to represent various elements or compound. They consist entire of alphabet.

For the diagram given above, the labelled parts which represent chemical symbol are: a, c, f and h

II. Coefficients are numbers written before the chemical symbol of elements or compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which represent Coefficient is: e

III. Number of atoms of element present in a compound is simply obtained by taking note of the numbers written as subscript in the chemical formula of the compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which represent the number of atoms of the element are: b, d, g and i

IV. When no number is written as subscript in the formula of the element in the compound, it means the element has just 1 atom in the compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which indicates that only 1 atom of the element is present is: i

Two spectators at a soccer game see, and a moment later hear, the ball being kicked on the playing field. The time delay for the
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

a)188.65m

b)154.35m

c)243.7m

Explanation:

Given data:

t_A=0.55s

t_B=0.45s

(a) The distance from the kicker to each of the 2 spectators is given by:

d_A=v \times t_A

where,

v= speed of sound

t_A=time taken for the sound waves to reach the ears

d_A=343\times 0.55=188.65m

(b)d_B=v \times t_B

where,

v= speed of sound

t_B=time taken for the sound waves to reach the ears

d_B=343\times 0.45=154.35m

(c)As the angle b/w slight lines  from the two spectators to the player is right angle,

hypotenuse=the distance b/w 2 spectators

and, the slight lines are the other 2 lines

D^2=d_A^2+d_B^2\\D=\sqrt{188.65^2+154.35^2} \\D= 243.7m

A mover does 422 J of work pushing a crate 8.39 m. How much force did he exert?
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

50.3N

Explanation:

Work done = force x distance

422J. = force x 8.39m

÷8.39 both side to get force

Force is 50.3N to 1 d.p.

Check:

50.3 x 8.39=422.017J

Same as 422J to 1 d.p

The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the
larisa86 [58]

<u>Answer;</u>

<em>Spring constant </em>

<u>Explanation;</u>

The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the <u>spring constant</u>.

  • The symbol of spring constant is K, since it is a constant. From the Hooke's law,for a helical spring or any elastic material, the extension force is directly proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.
  • Therefore; the spring constant = Force/extension. That is; K = F/e; where k is the spring constant, F is the extension force and e is the extension.
  • Spring constant depicts the resistance of the spring to compressional and stretching forces.
