A mosquito can fly with a speed of 1.10 m/s with respect to the air. Suppose a mosquito flies east at this speed across a swamp.

The mosquito is flying into a breeze that has a velocity of 1.4 m/s with respect to Earth and moves in the direction of 35 west of south. What is the mosquito's speed with respect to the Earth?

Answer:

The velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be 0.302m/s

Explanation:

V(ma) = 1.10 m/s, east  Velocity of mosquito with respect to air

V(ae) = 1.4 m/s at 35°  Velocity of air with respect to Earth in west of south direction.

Velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be  

V(me) = V(ma) + V(ae)

We need to find the mosquito’s speed with respect to Earth in the x direction.

V(x, me) = V(x, ma) + V(x, ae) = V(ma) + V(ae)(cos theta(ae) )

Angle (ae) = –90.0° − 35°=−125°

V(x, me) = 1.10 + (1.4)Cos(-125)

             = 1.10 + 1.4(-0.57)

             = 1.10 -0.798

              = 0.302

So the velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be 0.302m/s

In certain ranges of a piano keyboard, more than one string is tuned to the same note to provide extra loudness. For example, th
Georgia [21]

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency in the string, f = 110 Hz

Tension, T = 602 N

Tension, T' = 564 N

We know that frequency in a string is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{m/L}}, T is the tension in the string

i.e.

f\propto\sqrt{T}

\dfrac{f}{f'}=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{T'}}, f' is the another frequency

{f'}=f\times \sqrt{\dfrac{T'}{T}}

{f'}=110\times \sqrt{\dfrac{564}{602}}

f' =106.47 Hz

We need to find the beat frequency when the hammer strikes the two strings simultaneously. The difference in frequency is called its beat frequency as :

f_b=|f-f'|

f_b=|110-106.47|

f_b=3.53\ beats/s

So, the beat frequency when the hammer strikes the two strings simultaneously is 3.53 beats per second.

True or false: points that lie on the same plane are Collinear
Svetllana [295]
False , because collinear points lie on a line not on a plane.
Coplanar points on the other hand, lie on a plane.
