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

The intensity at distance from a spherically symmetric sound source is 100 W/m2. What is the intensity at five times this distan
ss7ja [257]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to intensity as a function of power and area.

Intensity is defined to be the power per unit area carried by a wave. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred by the wave. In equation form, intensity I is

I = \frac{P}{A}

The area of a sphere is given by

A = 4\pi r^2

So replacing we have to

I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}

Since the question tells us to find the proportion when

r_1 = 5r_2 \rightarrow \frac{r_2}{r_1} = \frac{1}{5}

So considering the two intensities we have to

I_1 = \frac{P_1}{4\pi r_1^2}

I_2 = \frac{P_2}{4\pi r_2^2}

The ratio between the two intensities would be

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{ \frac{P_1}{4\pi r_1^2}}{\frac{P_2}{4\pi r_2^2}}

The power does not change therefore it remains constant, which allows summarizing the expression to

\frac{I_1}{I_2}=(\frac{r_2}{r_1})^2

Re-arrange to find I_2

I_2 = I_1 (\frac{r_1}{r_2})^2

I_2 = 100*(\frac{1}{5})^2

I_2 = 4W/m^2

Therefore the intensity at five times this distance from the source is 4W/m^2

kow [346]

Answer:

The initial velocity was U=22.14m/s

Explanation:

Step one :

Applying the third equation of motion

v² = u²+ 2as

Where v= Final velocity

U =initial velocity

a= acceleration due to gravity

S= distance or displacement

Step two :

V= 0

a= 9.81m/s²

S=25m

U=?

Step three :

Substituting into the equation we have

0²=U²+2*9.81*25

0=U²+490.5

U²=-490.5

U=√490.5

U=22.14m/s
