A trap-jaw ant snaps its mandibles shut at very high speed, good for catching small prey. But these ants also slam their mandibl

es into the ground; the resulting force can launch the ant into the air for a quick escape. If a 12 mg ant hits the ground with an average force of 47 mN for a time of 0.13 ms, at what speed will it leave the ground?

Answer:

FInal speed (v) = 0.509 m/s (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of ant (m) = 12 mg

Force (f) = 47 N

Time taken (t) = 0.13 ms

Find:

FInal speed (v) = ?

Computation:

Initial velocity (u) = 0

Impulse = change in momentum

Force × TIme = change in momentum

47 × 0.13 = mv - mu

6.11 = 12 (V)

FInal speed (v) = 0.509 m/s (Approx)

What happens to mechanical energy if the potential energy of an object decreases?
OleMash [197]

D. Mechanical energy remains unchanged.

Mechanical energy = Potential energy + Kinetic energy

So if potential energy decreases, then kinetic energy must increase so that the system is balanced.

What is the speed of a beam of electrons when under the simultaneous influence of E = 1.64×104 V/m B = 4.60×10−3 T Both fields a
andrezito [222]

Answer: v = 3.57×10^6 m/s; R = 4.42×10^-3m; T = 7.78×10^-9 s

Explanation:

Magnetic force(B) = 4.60×10^-3 T

Electric force(E) = 1.64×10^4 V/m

Both forces having equal magnitude ;

Magnetic force = electric force

qvB = qE

vB = E

v = (1.64×10^4) ÷ (4.60×10^-3)

v = 3.57×10^6 m/s

2.) Assume no electric field

qvB = ma

Where a = v^2 ÷ r

R = radius

a = acceleration

v = velocity

qvB = m(v^2 ÷ R)

R = (m×v) ÷ (|q|×B)

q=1.6×10^-19C

m = 9.11×10^-31kg

R = (9.11×10^-31 * 3.57×10^6) ÷ (1.6×10^-19 * 4.6×10^-3)

R = 32.5227×10^-25 ÷ 7.36×10^-22

R = 4.42×10^-3m

3.) period(T)

T = (2*pi*R) ÷ v

T = (2* 4.42×10^-3 * 3.142) ÷ (3.57×10^6)

T = (27.775×10^-3) ÷(3.57×10^6)

T = 7.78×10^-9 s

A microphone is attaced to a spring that is suspended from
kirill115 [55]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to the amplitude and the Doppler effect. The difference between the maximum and minimum frequency detected by the microphone would be given by the mathematical function

f_{max} - f_{min} = 2 f_s (\frac{v_0}{v})

Here,

f_s= Source Frequency

v_0 = Speed of microphone

v = Speed sound

f_{max} - f_{min} = 2 f_s (\frac{v_0}{v})

Maximum speed of the microphone is

v_0 = f_{max} - f_{min} * \frac{v}{2f_s}

v_0= \frac{2.1Hz*343m/s}{2*440Hz}

v_0= 0.8185 m/s

Now the amplitude is

A = \frac{v_0}{2\pi/T}

Here T means the Period, then

A= \frac{0.8185 * 2.0}{2\pi}

A= 0.2605m

Therefore the amplitude of the simple harmonic motion is 0.2605m
