A bird is flying directly toward a stationary bird-watcher and emits a frequency of 1420 Hz. The bird-watcher, however, hears a

frequency of 1456 Hz. What is the speed of the bird, expressed as a percentage of the speed of sound

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 3 kg penguin is pushed by his penguin friends who give him an initial speed vo at the top of a 30 m hill. The penguin is hopin
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

This question can be answered by using conversation of energy.

K_1 + U_1 = K_2 + U_2

\frac{1}{2}mv_{0}^2 + mgh_1 = 0 + mgh_2

\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 + (3)(9.8)(30) = (3)(9.8)(45)\\\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 = 441\\v_0^2 = 294\\v_0 = 17.14 m/s

Explanation:

Note that we take K_2 = 0 because we are looking for the minimum initial speed for the penguin to reach the top of the second hill. Any other speed more than this will already be enough for him.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

7.0\cdot 10^{-13}C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged objects is

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

The force is attractive if the charges have opposite sign and repulsive if the charges have same sign.

In this problem, we have:

r=0.070 cm =7\cdot 10^{-4} m is the distance between the charges

q_1=q_2=q since the charges are identical

F=9.0\cdot 10^{-9}N is the force between the charges

Re-arranging the equation and solving for q, we find the charge on each drop:

F=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(9.0\cdot 10^{-9})(7\cdot 10^{-4})^2}{8.99\cdot 10^9}}=7.0\cdot 10^{-13}C

I traveled 6.00 km to school in 0.250 hours . What was my average speed
SOVA2 [1]

Answer: 6.67 m/s

Explanation:

Recall that average speed is the total distance covered by a moving body divided by the total time taken. The SI unit is metres per second.

i.e Average speed = distance/time taken

Given that:

Distance covered = 6.00 km

Convert kilometers to meters

If 1 km = 1000 m

6.00 km = (6.00 x 1000) = 6000m

Time taken to school = 0.250 hours

Convert time in hours to seconds

If 1 hour = 60 minutes & 1 minute = 60 seconds

Then, 0.250 hours = (0.250 x 60 x 60)

= 900 seconds

Average speed = ?

Average speed = 6000m/900s

= 6.67 m/s

Thus, your average speed to school is 6.67 m/s

What’s Newton’s second law? Explain and mention some examples in daily life
Marina CMI [18]
Newton’s second law of motion is force equals mass times acceleration.

F = m•a

An example of this would be hitting a ball. If you hit the ball, it will move however fast you hit the ball. The harder you hit the ball, the faster it will move.

hope this helps and brainliest please
