Dolphins emit clicks of sound for communication and echolocation. A marine biologist is monitoring a dolphin swimming in seawate

r where the speed of sound is 1522 m/s. When the dolphin is swimming directly away at 7.2 m/s, the marine biologist measures the number of clicks occurring per second to be at a frequency of 2674 Hz. What is the difference (in Hz) between this frequency and the number of clicks per second actually emitted by the dolphin?

Answer:

12.64968 Hz

Explanation:

v = Velocity of sound in seawater = 1522 m/s

u = Velocity of dolphin = 7.2 m/s

f' = Actual frequency = 2674 Hz

From Doppler effect we get the relation

f=f'\frac{v-u}{v}\\\Rightarrow f=2674\frac{1522-7.2}{1522}\\\Rightarrow f=2661.35032\ Hz

The frequency that will be received is 2661.35032 Hz

The difference in the frequency will be

2674-2661.35032=12.64968\ Hz

A piano tuner is using a 392 Hz tuning fork to tune the wire for a G-Natural note. She hears 4 beats per second. What are the tw
inysia [295]

A beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. Frequency beat is equal to,

f_{beat} =| f_2\pm f_1 |

The reference frequency in our case would be 392Hz, and since there is the possibility of the upper and lower range for the amount of beats per second that the two possible frequencies are heard would be

f_{beat} =|392+4|= 396Hz

f_{beat} =|392-4|=388Hz

Therefore the two possible frequencies the piano wire is vibrating at, would be 396Hz and 388Hz

GETTING TIMED PLS HELP! Do the runners in the picture above represent kinetic or potential energy? you need to explain why.
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

<em>They represent kinetic energy</em>

Explanation:

<u>Kinetic Energy </u>

A body can do work due to some of its attributes or states. For example, its mass can do work if used to provide energy, if the object is at a certain height respect to some reference level, it can do work when going downwards (potential energy), if the object moves at a certain speed, it can do work when transferring part of its speed to other objects. It's called kinetic energy and is given by

\displaystyle K=\frac{mv^2}{2}

Both runners are moving in a horizontal path, thus they have kinetic energy, given by the above equation. If they could jump below ground level, then they will also have potential energy

As you sit in a fishing boat, you noticed that 22 waves pass the boat every 60 seconds . If the distance from one crest to the n
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

0.1835m/s

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the speed of wave is expressed as;

v = fλ

f is the frequency - The number of oscillations completed in one seconds

If 22 waves pass the boat every 60 seconds,

number of wave that passes in 1 seconds = 22/60 = 0.367 waves

Therefore the frequency f of the wave is 0.367Hertz

λ (wavelength) is the distance between successive crest and trough of a wave

λ = 0.5m

Substitute the given values into the formula

v = fλ

v = 0.367 * 0.5

v = 0.1835

Hence the speed of the waves is 0.1835m/s

What is the atomic weight of a penny?
Gnom [1K]
I actually know the answer to this one, you use pennies to find the atomic weight of a penny, it really doesn't have a weight. LOL

A surveyor is using a magnetic compass 6.4 m below a power line in which there is a steady current of 120 A. (a) What is the mag
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnetic field due to a long current carrying conductor

μ₀ / 4π x 2i / r  ( i = current , r = distance of point from wire )

= 10⁻⁷ x 2 x 120 / 6.4  ( i = 120 A , r = 6.4m )

= 37.5 x 10⁻⁷ T .

= 3. 75 X 10⁻⁶ T .

= 3.75 µT.

b )

The direction of this field will be horizontal hence it will affect magnetic needle.
