Dolphins rely on echolocation to be able to survive in the ocean. In a 20 °C ocean, a dolphin produces an ultrasonic sound with

a frequency of 125 kHz. What is the wavelength of this sound, in meters?While remaining stationary, the dolphin emits a sound pulse and receives an echo after 0.220 s. How far away, in meters, is the reflecting object from the dolphin?

Answer:

wavelength = 0.01 m

distance = 162.8 m

Explanation:

Given that;

Speed of sound in water = 1,480 meters per second

Frequency of ultrasound = 125KHZ

From=

v=λf

v= speed of sound

λ= wavelength of sound

f= frequency of sound

λ= 1,480 ms-1/125 * 10^3 Hz

λ= 0.01 m

From

v = 2x/t

where;

v= velocity of sound in water

x= distance traveled

t = time taken

x = vt/2

x = 1,480 ms-1 * 0.220 s/2

x= 162.8 m

You drop a 0.375 kg ball from a height of 1.37 m. It hits the ground and bounces up again to a height of 0.67 m. How much energy

Radda [10]

2.57 joule energy lose in the bounce .

<u>Explanation</u>:

when ball is the height of 1.37 m from the ground it has some gravitational potential energy with respect to hits the ground

Formula for gravitational potential energy given by

Potential Energy = mgh

Where ,

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Potential energy when ball hits the ground

m= 0.375 kg

h = 1.37 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

$Potential Energy = 0.375\times9.8\times1.37$

Potential Energy = 5.03 joule

Potential energy when ball bounces up again

h= 0.67 m

$Potential Energy = 0.375\times0.67\times9.8$

Potential Energy = 2.46 joule

Energy loss = 5.03 - 2.46 = 2.57 joule

2.57 joule energy lose in the bounce

A satellite orbits the earth a distance of 1.50 × 107 m above the planet's surface and takes 8.65 hours for each revolution abou

kupik [55]

Answer:

The acceleration of the satellite is $0.87 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

The acceleration in a circular motion is defined as:

$a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$ (1)

Where a is the centripetal acceleration, v the velocity and r is the radius.

The equation of the orbital velocity is defined as

$v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}$ (2)

Where r is the radius and T is the period

For this particular case, the radius will be the sum of the high of the satellite ( $1.50x10^{7} m$ ) and the Earth radius ( $6.38x10^{6} m$ ) :

$r = 1.50x10^{7} m+6.38x10^{6}m$

$r = 21.38x10^{6}m$

Then, equation 2 can be used:

$T = 8.65 hrs \cdot \frac{3600 s}{1hrs}$ ⇒ $31140 s$

$v = \frac{2 \pi (21.38x10^{6}m)}{31140s}$

$v = 4313 m/s$

Finally equation 1 can be used:

$a = \frac{(4313m/s)^{2}}{21.38x10^{6}m}$

$a = 0.87 m/s^{2}$

Hence, the acceleration of the satellite is $0.87 m/s^{2}$

A person swings a 0.546-kg tether ball tied to a 4.56-m rope in an approximately horizontal circle. If the maximum tension the r

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

2.1 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a tether ball, m = 0.546 kg

Length of a rope, l = 4.56 m

The maximum tension the rope can withstand before breaking is 11.0 N

We need to find the maximum angular speed of the ball. Let v is the linear velocity. The maximum tension is balanced by the centripetal force acting on it. It can be given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{11\times 4.56}{0.546}} \\\\=9.584\ m/s$

Let $\omega$ is the angular speed of the ball. The relation between the angular speed and angular velocity is given by :

$v=r\omega\\\\\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}\\\\=\dfrac{9.584}{4.56}\\\\=2.1\ rad/s$

So, the maximum angular speed of the ball is 2.1 rad/s.

A 3-kg wheel with a radius of 35 cm is spinning in the horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its center at 800 rev/s. A

Kruka [31]

Answer:

$\omega_f = 585.37 \ rev/s$

Explanation:

given,

mass of wheel(M) = 3 Kg

radius(r) = 35 cm

revolution (ω_i)= 800 rev/s

mass (m)= 1.1 Kg

I_{wheel} = Mr²

when mass attached at the edge

I' = Mr² + mr²

using conservation of angular momentum

$I \omega_i = I' \omega_f$

$(Mr^2) \times 800 = ( M r^2 + m r^2) \omega_f$

$M\times 800 = ( M + m )\omega_f$

$3\times 800 = (3+1.1)\times \omega_f$

$2400 = (4.1)\times \omega_f$

$\omega_f = 585.37 \ rev/s$
