Horseshoe bats (genus Rhinolophus) emit sounds from their nostrils, then listen to the frequency of the sound reflected from the

ir prey to determine the prey's speed. (The "horseshoe" that gives the bat its name is a depression around the nostrils that acts like a focusing mirror, so that the bat emits sound in a narrow beam like a flashlight.) A Rhinolophus flying at speed vbat emits sound of frequency fbat; the sound it hears reflected from an insect flying toward it has a higher frequency frefl.If the bat emits a sound at a frequency of 80.7kHz and hears it reflected at a frequency of 83.1kHz while traveling at a speed of 4.3m/s , calculate the speed of the insect.Use 344m/s for the speed of sound in air. Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

This is the step by step explanation to the above question:

v_i = v [ f_L *(v - v_b) - f_s*(v + v_b)] / [f_L * (v - v_b) + f_s*(v +v_b)]

= v * (83.1 * (v-4.3) - 80.7 ( v+4.3))/ [83.1 *(v - 4.3) + 80.7*(v + 4.3)]

v = 344 m/s

vi = 344 * ( 83.1* (344-4.3) - 80.7*(344+4.3) ) / (83.1 *(344 - 4.3) + 80.7*(344 + 4.3))

= 0.74 m/s

The index of refraction of silicate flint glass for red light is 1.620 and for violet light is 1.660 . A beam of white light in
Sonja [21]

Answer:

10.16 degrees

Explanation:

Apply Snells Law for both wavelenghts

\(n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}\)

For red

(1.620)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin r)

For red, the angle is 35.45degrees

For violet

(1.660)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin v)

For violet, the angle is 45.6 degrees

The difference is 45.6- 35.45 = 10.16 degrees

An electric motor rotating a workshop grinding wheel at a rate of 151 rev/min is switched off. Assume constant angular decelerat
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial angular velocity ω₀ = 151 x 2π / 60

= 15.8  rad /s

final velocity = 0

Angular deceleration α = 2.23 rad / s

ω² = ω₀² -  2 α θ

0 = 15.8² - 2 x 2.23 θ

= 55.99  rad

one revolution = 2π radian

55.99 radian = 55.99  / 2 π no of terns

= 9 approx .

The pressure of air pushing down on a house roof is extremely large. Why is the roof not crushed?
Degger [83]
There is still air inside of a house, which is pushing the roof upwards, so the forces are equal and the roof is not crushed.

Calculate the electric potential energy in a capacitor that stores 4.0 10-10 C of charge at 250.0 V
Arada [10]
Q = C.v
v = Q/C
v = 4 × 10^(-10)/250
 = 4 × 10^(-10)/2.5 × 10^2
 = 1.6 × 10^(-12) volt
