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

A flashlight contains a battery of two cells in series, with a bulb of resistance 12 Ohms. The internal resistance of each cell
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

1.5024

Explanation:

Draw a diagram. Put the two cells in series. Now draw 3 resistors. Two of them equal 0.26 ohms each. The third one is the lightbulb which is 12 ohms.

R = 0.26 + 0.26 + 12 = 12.52

The bulb has a voltage of 2.88 volts across it. You can get the current from that.

i = E / R

i = 2.88 / 12 =

i = 0.24 amps.

Now you can get the voltage drop across the two cells.

E = ?

R = 0.26

i = 0.24 amps

E = 0.26 * 0.24

E = 0. 0624

Finally divide the 2.88 by 2 to get 1.44

Each cell has an emf of 1.44 + 0.0624 = 1.5024

Define bond length using your own words​
Brut [27]

Answer:

the free encyclopedia. In molecular geometry, bond length or bond distance is defined as the average distance between nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule. It is a transferable property of a bond between atoms of fixed types, relatively independent of the rest of the molecule.

* 1a Average speed
ruslelena [56]

Explanation:

\implies   v_{av} =  \dfrac{total \: displacement}{total \: time}

\implies   v_{av} =  \dfrac{100}{10}

\implies   v_{av} =10 \:  {ms}^{ - 1}

A bird flew 16 km west in 5 hours , then flew 20 km east in 6 hours . What was the birds velocity?
LenaWriter [7]
During that period of time, the bird's displacement was 4 km east. So its velocity was (4km east)/(11hrs). That's 0.36 km/hour east. (rounded)
