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 $V_S =433.895-343$ the 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.

A 1150 kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 7.69 m before contacting the beam,

Answer:

the average force 11226 N

Explanation:

Let's analyze the problem we are asked for the average force, during the crash, we can find this from the impulse-momentum equation, but this equation needs the speeds and times of the crash that we could look for by kinematics.

Let's start looking for the stack speeds, it has a free fall, from rest (Vo=0)

Vf² = Vo² - 2gY

Vf² = 0 - 2 9.8 7.69 = 150.7

Vf = 12.3 m / s

This is the speed that the battery likes when it touches the beam. They also give us the distance it travels before stopping, let's calculate the time

Vf = Vo - g t

0 = Vo - g t

t = Vo / g

t = 12.3 / 9.8

t = 1.26 s

This is the time to stop

Now let's use the equation that relates the impulse to the amount of movement

I = Δp

F t = pf-po

The amount of final movement is zero because the system stops

F = - po / t

F = - mv / t

F = - 1150 12.3 / 1.26

F = -11226 N

This is the average force exerted by the stack on the vean

12. A frain moves from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in 30.0 seconds. What is its acceleration?

ziro4ka [17]

initial velocity=u=0m/s
Final velocity=v=25m/s
Time=t=30s

$\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{25-0}{30}$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{25}{30}$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=0.8m/s^2$

. Consider the equation =0+0+02/2+03/6+04/24+5/120, where s is a length and t is a time. What are the dimensions and SI units of

Olegator [25]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given

$s=s_0+v_0t+\frac{a_0t^2}{2}+ \frac{j_0t^3}{6}+\frac{S_0t^4}{24}+\frac{ct^5}{120}$

Solving (a): Units and dimension of $s_0$

From the question, we understand that:

$s \to L$ --- length

$t \to T$ --- time

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=s_0$

Rewrite as:

$s_0=s$

This implies that $s_0$ has the same unit and dimension as $s$

Hence:

$s_0 \to L$ --- dimension

$s_o \to$ Length (meters, kilometers, etc.)

Solving (b): Units and dimension of $v_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=v_0t$

Rewrite as:

$v_0t = s$

Make $v_0$ the subject

$v_0 = \frac{s}{t}$

Replace s and t with their units

$v_0 = \frac{L}{T}$

$v_0 = LT^{-1}$

Hence:

$v_0 \to LT^{-1}$ --- dimension

$v_0 \to$ $m/s$ --- unit

Solving (c): Units and dimension of $a_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{a_0t^2}{2}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{a_0t^2}{2} = s_0$

Make $a_0$ the subject

$a_0 = \frac{2s_0}{t^2}$

Replace s and t with their units [ignore all constants]

$a_0 = \frac{L}{T^2}\\$

$a_0 = LT^{-2$

Hence:

$a_0 = LT^{-2$ --- dimension

$a_0 \to$ $m/s^2$ --- acceleration

Solving (d): Units and dimension of $j_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{j_0t^3}{6}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{j_0t^3}{6} = s$

Make $j_0$ the subject

$j_0 = \frac{6s}{t^3}$

Replace s and t with their units [Ignore all constants]

$j_0 = \frac{L}{T^3}$

$j_0 = LT^{-3}$

Hence:

$j_0 = LT^{-3}$ --- dimension

$j_0 \to$ $m/s^3$ --- unit

Solving (e): Units and dimension of $s_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{S_0t^4}{24}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{S_0t^4}{24} = s$

Make $S_0$ the subject

$S_0 = \frac{24s}{t^4}$

Replace s and t with their units [ignore all constants]

$S_0 = \frac{L}{T^4}$

$S_0 = LT^{-4$

Hence:

$S_0 = LT^{-4$ --- dimension

$S_0 \to$ $m/s^4$ --- unit

Solving (e): Units and dimension of $c$

Ignore other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{ct^5}{120}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{ct^5}{120} = s$

Make $c$ the subject

$c = \frac{120s}{t^5}$

Replace s and t with their units [Ignore all constants]

$c = \frac{L}{T^5}$

$c = LT^{-5}$

Hence:

$c \to LT^{-5}$ --- dimension

$c \to m/s^5$ --- units
