A finch rides on the back of a Galapagos tortoise, which walks at the stately pace of 0.060 m/s. After 1.1 minutes, the finch ti

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Average Speed = 6.37 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed is simply given by the following formula:

Average Speed = Total Distance Traveled/Total Time Spent

here,

Total Time Spent = 1.1 min + 1.5 min = (2.6 min)(60 s/min) = 156 s

Now, for total distance, we have to calculate the distance traveled on tortoise and distance traveled while flying, separately. Therefore,

Distance Traveled on Tortoise = (Time spent on Tortoise)(Speed of Tortoise)

Distance Traveled on Tortoise = (1.1 min)(60 s/min)(0.06 m/s) = 3.96 m

Similarly,

Flying Distance = (Flying Time)(Flying Speed) = (1.5 min)(60 s/min)(11 m/s)

Flying Distance = 990 m

Since, total distance is the sum of both distances, therefore,

Total Distance = 3.96 m + 990 m = 993.96 m

Now, using the values in equation of average speed, we get:

Average Speed = 993.96 m/156 s

Average Speed = 6.37 m/s

A spaceship is traveling toward Earth while giving off a constant radio signal with a wavelength of 1 meter (m). What will the s

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Less than 1 m

Explanation:

When objects are getting closer to each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the blue shift of waves. Here, the wavelength reduces.

In the opposite case the when objects are getting farther from each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the red shift. Here, the wavelength increases.

In this case the spaceship is getting close to Earth hence the wavelength will be lower than 1 m.

A sinusoidal wave of angular frequency 1,203 rad/s and amplitude 3.1 mm is sent along a cord with linear density 3.9 g/m and ten

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

18.7842493212 W

Explanation:

T = Tension = 1871 N

$\mu$ = Linear density = 3.9 g/m

y = Amplitude = 3.1 mm

$\omega$ = Angular frequency = 1203 rad/s

Average rate of energy transfer is given by

$P=\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{T\mu}\omega^2y^2\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{1871\times 3.9\times 10^{-3}}\times 1203^2\times (3.1\times 10^{-3})^2\\\Rightarrow P=18.7842493212\ W$

The average rate at which energy is transported by the wave to the opposite end of the cord is 18.7842493212 W
