A bat locates insects by emitting 25.3 kHz ultrasonic chirps and then listening for echoes from insects flying around it. Humans

can hear sounds with frequencies up to 20 kHz. How fast would a bat have to fly and in which direction (positive away from and negative towards a stationary human listener) in order for a person to hear these chirps

Answer:

Speed at which the bat have to fly is 90.895 m/s away from the human (listener) in positive direction.

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency of the bat that is source here, f_S = 25.3 kHz = 25.3 * 10^3 Hz

Frequency of the listener (human), f_L = 20 kHz = 20*10^3 Hz

We have to identify how fast the bat have to fly in order for a person to hear these chirps .

Let the velocity of bat that is source is "Vs" and "Vs" = "Vbat".

Doppler effects formulae :

  • When the source is receding (moving away) f_L=(\frac{V+V_L}{V+V_S}) f_S
  • When the source is approaching  f_L=(\frac{V+V_L}{V-V_S}) f_S
  • Speed of sound in V_S =433.895-343the air (medium), V = 343\ ms^-^1

Using the above formula and considering that the bat is moving away so that the human can listen the chirps also V_L=0 as listener is stationary.

⇒ f_L=(\frac{V+V_L}{V+V_S}) f_S   ⇒ f_L=(\frac{V+0}{V+V_S}) f_S

Re-arranging in terms of Vs.

⇒ V+V_S =\frac{V\times f_S}{f_L}

⇒ V_S =\frac{V\times f_S}{f_L}-V

⇒ V_S =\frac{343\times 25.3\times 10^3}{20\times 10^3}-343

⇒ V_S=90.895 m/s

The speed at which the bat have to fly is 90.895 m/s away from the human (listener) in positive direction.

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

#_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's calculate the energy of a single quantum of energy, use Planck's law

         E = h f

         c= λ f

         E = h c / λ

          λ= 1000 nm (1 m / 109 nm) = 1000 10⁻⁹ m

Let's calculate

          E₀ = 6.6310⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/1000 10⁻⁹

          E₀ = 19.89 10⁻²⁰ J

This is the energy emitted by a photon let's use a proportions rule to find the number emitted in P = 100 w

                #_photon = P / E₀

               #_photon = 100 / 19.89 10⁻²⁰

              #_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s

rodikova [14]

Answer:

21 m/s.  

Explanation:

The computation of the wind velocity is shown below:

But before that, we need to find out the angles between the vectors

53° - 35° = 18°

Now we have to sqaure it i.e given below

v^2 = 55^2 + 40^2 - 2 · 55 · 40 · cos 18°

v^2 = 3025 + 1600 - 2 · 55 · 40 · 0.951

v^2 = 440.6

v = √440.6

v = 20.99

≈ 21 m/s

Hence, The wind velocity is 21 m/s.

1. Calculate the average velocity of the following trip. You walk to Pershing Square 58
Gre4nikov [31]

Explanation:

Velocity = displacement / time

v = √((58 m)² + (135 m)²) / (12 min × 60 s/min)

v = 0.20 m/s

A square loop of side 7 cm is placed with the nearest side 2 cm from a long wire carrying a current that varies with time at a c
ioda

Answer:

Explanation:

side of the square loop, a = 7 cm

distance of the nearest side from long wire, r = 2 cm = 0.02 m

di/dt = 9 A/s

Integrate on both the sides

\int _{0}^{i}di =9\int _{0}^{t}dt

i = 9t

(a) The magnetic field due to the current carrying wire at a distance r is given by

B = \frac{\mu_{0}i}{2\pi r}

B = \frac{\mu_{0}\times 9t}{2\pi r}

(b)

Magnetic flux,

\phi=\int B\times a dr

\phi=\int \frac{\mu_{0}\times 9t}{2\pi r}\times a dr

\phi=\frac{\mu_{0}\times 9t\times a}{2\pi}\times ln\left ( \frac{2 + 7}{2} \right )

\phi=\frac{\mu_{0}\times 9t\times 0.07}{2\pi}\times ln(4.5)

\phi = 1.89 \times 10^{-7}t

(c)

R = 3 ohm

e = -\frac{d\phi}{dt}

magnitude of voltage is

e = 1.89 x 10^-7 V

induced current, i = e / R = (1.89 x 10^-7) / 3

i = 6.3 x 10^-8 A
