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 .

A spring is 6.0cm long when it is not stretched, and 10cm long when a 7.0N force is applied. What force is needed to make it 20c
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Approximately 25\; {\rm N} (assuming that this spring is ideal.)

Explanation:

The displacement of a spring is the new length of the spring relative to the original length.

For example:

  • When the 6.0\; {\rm cm}-spring in this question is stretched to 10\; {\rm cm}, the displacement is x = (10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}).
  • Likewise, if this spring is stretched to 20\; {\rm cm}, the displacement would be (20\; {\rm cm} - 6\; {\rm cm}).

If this spring is ideal, the force on the spring would be proportional to the displacement of the spring. In other words, if a force of F_{\text{a}} displaces this spring by x_{\text{a}}, while a force of F_{\text{b}} displaces this spring by x_{\text{b}}, then:

\displaystyle \frac{F_{\text{a}}}{x_{\text{a}}} = \frac{F_{\text{b}}}{x_{\text{b}}}.

In this question, it is given that a force of F_{\text{a}} = 7.0 \; {\rm N} would stretch this spring by x_{\text{a}} = (10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}). Thus, the force F_{\text{b}} required to stretch this spring by x_{\text{a}} = (20\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}) would satisfy:

\displaystyle \frac{7.0\; {\rm N}}{10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}}= \frac{F_{\text{b}}}{20\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}}.

Rearrange and solve for F_{\text{b}}:

\begin{aligned} F_{\text{b}} &= \frac{7.0\; {\rm N}}{10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}} \, (20\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}) \\ &\approx 25\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}.

Which law of thermodynamics would be violated if heat were to spontaneously flow between two objects of equal temperature?
maks197457 [2]
<span>Actually the second law of thermodynamics would truly gets violated ie, which means that the entrophy changes of the isolated system can never be negative, which covers the above that if heat were to spontaneously flow between any two objects of equal temperature would be fully violated.</span>
