Answer:

2.47 %

Explanation:

We are given;

Frequency emitted by source(bird); f_s = 1420 Hz

Frequency heard by observer; f_o = 1456 Hz

From doppler shift frequency, we know that;

f_o = f_s [c/(c - c_s)]

Where c_s is speed of source which is the bird and c is speed of sound.

Thus;

Rearranging the equation, we have;

f_s/f_o = (c - c_s)/c

f_s/f_o = 1 - (c_s/c)

Plugging in the relevant values to get ;

1420/1456 = 1 - (c_s/c)

0.9753 = 1 - (c_s/c)

1 - 0.9753 = (c_s/c)

(c_s/c) = 0.0247

Since we want it expressed im percentage,

Thus, (c_s/c) % = 0.0247 x 100 = 2.47 %

A measurement that has both magnitude and direction
Korvikt [17]
<span>A measurement that both magnitude and direction is a vector quantity. An example of this is a moving car. The car exerts force due to its thrust and weight that runs in it. This will give us the magnitude of the car. The resulting motion of the car in terms of displacement, velocity and acceleration that determines its direction makes it a vector quantity. On the other hand, a measurement that has only magnitude is a scalar quantity. The energy exerted by the engine of the car is a scalar quantity.</span>

A child throws a ball vertically upward to a friend on a balcony 28 m above him. The friend misses the ball on its upward flight
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

t=1.9 sec

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height h=28m

Time t=3s

Generally the Newton's equation for Initial velocity upward is mathematically given by

 s=ut+\frtac{1}{2}at^2

 28=3u-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*3^2

 u=24.03m/s

Generally the velocity at  elevation and depression occurs  as ball arrives and passes through S=28

 v=\sqrt{24.03-2*9.8*28}

 v=5.35m/s and -5.35m/s

Generally the Newton's equation for time to reach initial velocity  is mathematically given by

 v=u+at

 5.35=24.03-9.8t

 t=\frac{28.03-5.35}{9.8}

 t=1.9 sec

What is the study of kinematics based upon ?<br><br>thankyou ~​
NikAS [45]

Kinematics is the study of the motion of a system of bodies without directly considering the forces or potential fields affecting the motion. In other words, kinematics examines how momentum and energy are shared among interacting bodies.
