The Pilot of a plane measures an air velocity of 165Km/h south relative to the plane. An observer on

Physics

AVprozaik [17]4 years ago
6 0

The speed obtained by the pilot is not accurate since it is measuring the rate of travel in the wind, true velocity is that compared to the ground. Therefore the speed of the wind is:

v wind = 165 - 145

v wind = 20 km/h<span>

<span>Therefore the wind velocity = 20 km/h against the plane.</span></span>

Two bicyclists ride towards each other along a long straight road, each with a constant speed of 10 km/h. When they are 20 km ap
maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

As the two bicycles come closer , the time period of oscillation of bee to oscillate between the two is gradually reduced . It is akin to a pendulum with gradually decreasing amplitude . It will be infinite number of trips the bee will travel before it gets squished .

B )

The bee will survive until the two bicyclists meet each other .

time of their meeting = distance between them / their relative velocity

= 20 / ( 10 + 10 )

= 1 hour .

C )

Total distance travelled by bee during 1 hour

= time x speed of bee

= 1 x 30 km/h

= 30 km .

A child has an ear canal that is 1.3 cm long. At what sound frequencies in the audible range will the child have increased heari
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The answer to this is

6600 Hz to 19,800 Hz

Explanation:

The shape of the human ear is analogous to a closed ended pipe hence

we have λ = 4L or wavelength = 4 * length of the child ear

The frequency  c/λ  where c = speed of sound = 343 m/s

hence the child's audible range is multiples of 343/(4*0.13) =6600Hz

or 13200 Hz or 19,800 Hz

The generally quoted range of human hearing is 20 Hz to 20 kHz

If we measure the temperature of a blackbody to be about 300 K (a typical air temperature in Florida), at what wavelength would
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

9.66 x 10^-6 m

Explanation:

Use the Wein's displacement law

\lambda _{m}\times T = b

Where, b is the Wein's constant

b =  2.898 x 10^-3 meter-kelvin

So, λm x 300 =  2.898 x 10^-3

λm = 9.66 x 10^-6 m
