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 1000 Hz. The bird is 3.0 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?
b. What is the ratio of this time difference to the period of the sound wave?

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?

Answer:

0.0000109261200583 s

0.0109261200583

Explanation:

d_2 = Distance from right ear = 3 m

s = Distance between ears = 15 cm

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

Distance between the left ear and the bird

d_1=\sqrt{s^2+d_2^2}\\\Rightarrow d_1=\sqrt{0.15^2+3^2}\\\Rightarrow d_1=3.00374765918\ m=3.004\ m

Time

t=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}

Time difference would be

\Delta T=\dfrac{d_1}{v}-\dfrac{d_2}{v}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\dfrac{3.00374765918}{343}-\dfrac{3}{343}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=0.0000109261200583\ s

The time difference is 0.0000109261200583 s

Time period is given by

T=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{1}{1000}\\\Rightarrow T=10^{-3}\ s

The ratio is

\dfrac{\Delta T}{T}=\dfrac{0.0000109261200583}{10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\Delta T}{T}=0.0109261200583

The ratio is 0.0109261200583

Sugar dissolved in water is an example of?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

D. Solution

Explanation:

Sugar dissolved in water is an example of solution.

A solution is a homogenous mixture of solutes and solvents.

In a solution the solute particles ae distributed uniformly in the solvents. The solute is the substance and it is the sugar here that is dissolved to make a solution.

The solvent is the water in this instance that helps to dissolve the solute.

A plane designed for vertical takeoff has a mass of 8.0 × 10³ kg. Find the net work done by all forces on the plane as it accele
artcher [175]

Answer:

<em>the net work done after starting from rest is =  2.4 × 10⁵ J</em>

Explanation:

Work: Work can be defined as the product of force and distance. The fundamental unit of work is Joules (J),  The unit of Energy is Joules (J), as such Energy and work are interchangeable during calculation, This is illustrated below

E = W = 1/2mv².......................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the plane, v = velocity of the plane, E = Energy, W = work done.

v² = u² + 2as ................................. Equation 2.

Where v = final velocity of the plane, u = initial velocity of the plane, a = acceleration of the plane, distance of the plane.

<em>Given: a = 1.0 m/s², s = 30 m, u = 0 m/s (at rest)</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

<em>v² = 0² +2×1×30</em>

<em>v² = 60</em>

<em>v = √60</em>

<em>v = 7.75 m/s</em>

Also given: m = 8.0 × 10³ kg, and v = 7.75 m/s

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1,</em>

<em>W = 1/2(8.0×10³)(7.75)²</em>

<em>W = (4.0×10³)(60)</em>

W = 240 × 10³ J

<em>W = 2.4 × 10⁵ J</em>

<em>Therefore the net work done after starting from rest is =  2.4 × 10⁵ J</em>

What is the source of Earth’s magnetic field?
zhuklara [117]

Answer and Explanation:

The main source of earth magnetic field is the metals and iron present in earth crust these metals are mainly found in liquid state in earth crust and we know that whenever there is spinning of these liquid metals then there will magnetic field generate, So the main source of earth magnetic field is the metals present in earth crust.
