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 %

Which of the following would be used in luminosity calculations?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

1) joule

2) kgm^{2}/s^{2}

3) 10\%

Explanation:

1) Luminosity is the <u>amount of light emitted</u> (measured in Joule) by an object in a unit of<u> time</u> (measured in seconds). Hence in SI units luminosity is expressed as joules per second (\frac{J}{s}), which is equal to Watts (W).

This amount of light emitted is also called radiated electromagnetic power, and when this is measured in relation with time, the result is also called radiant power emitted by a light-emitting object.

Therefore, if we want to calculate luminosity the Joule as a unit will be used.

2) Work W is expressed as force  F multiplied by the distane  d :

W=F.d

Where force has units of  kgm/s^{2} and distance units of m.

If we input the units we will have:

W=(kgm/s^{2})(m)

W=kgm^{2}/s^{2}  This is 1Joule (1 J) in the SI system, which is also equal to 1 Nm

3) The formula to calculate the percent error is:

\% error=\frac{|V_{exp}-V_{acc}|}{V_{acc}} 100\%

Where:

V_{exp}=7.34 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2} is the experimental value

V_{acc}=6.67 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2} is the accepted value

\% error=\frac{|7.34 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}-6.67 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}|}{6.67 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}} 100\%

\% error=10.04\% \approx 10\% This is the percent error
