At some speed, the drag or force of resistance will equal the gravitational pull on the object. At this point the object ceases to accelerate and continues falling at a constant speed called the terminal velocity (also called settling velocity).
The answer would be the sound waves.
To get the best possible answer. (sorry if im wrong)
Well, it would be fossilization. <- If I spelled it correctly.
Answer:
The speed the bat is gaining on its prey is 0.03m/s
Explanation:
Given;
speed of the bat, v₀ = 3.7 m/s
frequency of the bat, F₀ = 36 kHz
frequency of the source, Fs = 36.79
This is relative motion between a source of the sound and the observer. The phenomenon is known as Doppler effect.
Apply the following equation to determine the speed of the insect which is the source;
![F_0 = F_s[\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{F_0}{F_s} = [\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{36.79}{36} = \frac{340+3.7}{340-v_s}\\\\1.0219 = \frac{343.7}{340-v_s}\\\\ 340-v_s = \frac{343.7}{1.0219}\\\\340-v_s = 336.33\\\\v_s = 340-336.33\\\\v_s = 3.67 \ m/s](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F_0%20%3D%20F_s%5B%5Cfrac%7Bv%2Bv_0%7D%7Bv-v_s%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7BF_0%7D%7BF_s%7D%20%3D%20%5B%5Cfrac%7Bv%2Bv_0%7D%7Bv-v_s%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7B36.79%7D%7B36%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B340%2B3.7%7D%7B340-v_s%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C1.0219%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B343.7%7D%7B340-v_s%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%20340-v_s%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B343.7%7D%7B1.0219%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C340-v_s%20%3D%20336.33%5C%5C%5C%5Cv_s%20%3D%20340-336.33%5C%5C%5C%5Cv_s%20%3D%203.67%20%5C%20m%2Fs)
The speed the bat is gaining on its prey = 3.7m/s - 3.67m/s = 0.03 m/s
Therefore, the speed the bat is gaining on its prey is 0.03m/s
