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.

A car accelerates from rest at -3.00m/s^2. What is the velocity at the end of 5.0s? What is the displacement after5.0s?
Andrew [12]

Speed = (acceleration) x (time)
Velocity = (speed) in (direction of the speed)

Speed = (-3 m/s²) x (5 s) = 15 m/s
Velocity =
             (15 m/s) in the direction opposite to the direction you call positive
.

Displacement = (distance between start-point and end-point)
                           in the direction from start-point to end-point.

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time)²
Distance = (1/2) (3 m/s²) (5 s)²
                 = (1/2) (3 m/s²) (25 s²)  =  37.5 meters

Displacement =
                     37.5 meters in the direction opposite to the direction you call positive.
