An experiment is performed to determine how bats capture insects in the dark. A pair of microphones are set up on either end of

a long room with the bat being released on one end and an insect on the other. When the bat begins to chase the insect, the microphone near the bat hears a frequency of 79.79 kHz and the microphone on the other side of the room hears a frequency of 81.63kHz. a) (3pts) What is the speed of the bat

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Doppler's effect here .

original frequency = 79.79 kHz

apparent frequency due to movement of source ( bat ) = 81.63 Hz

Let the velocity of bat be v .

expression for apparent frequency can be given as follows

n = $\frac{n_0V}{V-v}$

n is apparent frequency , n₀ is original frequency , V is velocity of light and v is velocity of source of sound

Putting the values

81.63 = $\frac{79.79\times 340}{340-v}$

340-v = 332.33

v = 7.67 m /s

velocity of bat is 7.67 m /s .

Answer:

$k=105.0359\times 10^4\,W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

temperature at the hotter end, $T_H=100^{\circ}C$

temperature at the cooler end, $T_C=0^{\circ}C$

length of rod through which the heat travels, $dx=0.7\,m$

cross-sectional area of rod, $A=1.1\times 10^{-4}\,cm^2$

mass of ice melted at zero degree Celsius, $m=8.7\times 10^{-3}\,kg$

time taken for the melting of ice, $t=15\times60=900\,s$

thermal conductivity k=?

By Fourier's Law of conduction we have:

$\dot{Q}=k.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$ ......................................(1)

where:

$\dot{Q}$ =rate of heat transfer

dT= temperature difference across the length dx

Now, we need the total heat transfer according to the condition:

we know the latent heat of fusion of ice, $L = 334000\,J.kg^{-1}$

$Q=m.L$

$Q=8.7\times 10^{-3}\times 334000$

$Q=2905.8\,J$

Now the heat rate:

$\dot{Q}=\frac{Q}{t}$

$\dot{Q}=\frac{2905.8}{900}$

$\dot{Q}=3.2287\,W$

Now using eq,(1)

$3.2287=k\times 1.1\times 10^{-4} \times \frac{100}{0.7}$

$k=205.4606\,W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

002 10.0 points

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

-2040 m/s²

Explanation:

Taking toward the wall to be positive, the initial velocity is 10.1 m/s and the final velocity is -8.3426 m/s.

Average acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (-8.3426 m/s − 10.1 m/s) / 0.00905 s

a = -2040 m/s²

A ball is thrown with an initial speed vi at an angle i with the horizontal. The horizontal range of the ball is R, and the ball

adell [148]

Answer:

Part a)

$T = 2\sqrt{\frac{R}{3g}}$

Part b)

$v_x = \frac{\sqrt{3Rg}}{2}$

Part c)

$v_y = \sqrt{Rg/3}$

Part d)

$v = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{13Rg}$

Part e)

$\theta_i = 33.7 degree$

Part f)

$H = \frac{13R}{8}$

Part g)

$X = \frac{13R}{4}$

Explanation:

Initial speed of the launch is given as

initial speed = $v_i$

angle = $\theta_i$ degree

Now the two components of the velocity

$v_x = v_i cos\theta_i$

similarly we have

$v_y = v_i sin\theta_i$

Part a)

Now we know that horizontal range is given as

$R = \frac{v_i^2 (2sin\theta_icos\theta_i)}{g}$

maximum height is given as

$H = \frac{R}{6} = \frac{v_i^2 sin^2\theta_i}{2g}$

so we have

$v_i sin\theta = \sqrt{Rg/3}$

time of flight is given as

$T = \frac{2v_isin\theta_i}{g}$

$T = \frac{2\sqrt{Rg/3}}{g}$

$T = 2\sqrt{\frac{R}{3g}}$

Part b)

Now the speed of the ball in x direction is always constant

so at the peak of its path the speed of the ball is given as

$R = v_x T$

$R = v_x 2\sqrt{\frac{R}{3g}}$

$v_x = \frac{\sqrt{3Rg}}{2}$

Part c)

Initial vertical velocity is given as

$v_y = v_i sin\theta_i$

$v_i sin\theta = \sqrt{Rg/3}$

Part d)

Initial speed is given as

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

so we will have

$v = \sqrt{Rg/3 + 3Rg/4}$

$v = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{13Rg}$

Part e)

Angle of projection is given as

$tan\theta_i = \frac{v_y}{v_x}$

$tan\theta_i = \frac{\sqrt{Rg/3}}{\sqrt{3Rg}/2}$

$\theta_i = 33.7 degree$

Part f)

If we throw at same speed so that it reach maximum height

then the height will be given as

$H = \frac{v^2}{2g}$

$H = \frac{13R}{8}$

Part g)

For maximum range the angle should be 45 degree

so maximum range is

$X = \frac{v^2}{g}$

$X = \frac{13R}{4}$
