This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A bat flies towards a moth at 7.1 m/s while the moth is flying towards the bat at 4.4 m/s. The bat emits a sound wave of 51.7 kHz.

After enjoying a tasty meal of the first moth, the bat goes after another moth. Flying with the same speed and emitting the same frequency, this time the bat detects a reflected frequency of 55.5 kHz. How fast is the second moth moving

Answer:

the second moth is moving at 5.062 m/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Using doppler's effect

$f_{moth$ = f₀( $v_{s$ ± $v_{observer$ / $v_{s$ ± $v_{source$ )

f₁ = f₀( ( $v_{s$ + v₂) / ( $v_{s$ - v₁ ) )

frequency reflected from the moth,

Now, moth is the source and the bat is the receiver

f₂ = f₁( ( $v_{s$ + v₁ ) / ( $v_{s$ - v₂ ) )

hence, f = f₀[ ( ( $v_{s$ + v₁ ) / ( $v_{s$ - v₂ ) ) ( ( $v_{s$ + u₂ ) / ( $v_{s$ - u₁ ) )

we know that, the velocity of sound $v_{s$ = 343 m/s.

given that v₁ and v₂ { velocity of bat } = 7.1 m/s, f₀ = 51.7 kHz and f = 55.5 kHz.

we substitute

55.5 = 51.7[ ( ( 343 + 7.1 ) / ( 343 - 7.1 ) ) ( ( 343 + u ) / ( 343 - u ) ) ]

55.5 = 51.7[ ( 350.1 / 335.9 ) ( ( 343 + u ) / ( 343 - u ) ) ]

55.5 = 51.7[ 1.04227 ( ( 343 + u ) / ( 343 - u ) ) ]

55.5 = 53.885359 ( ( 343 + u ) / ( 343 - u ) ) ]

55.5 / 53.885359 = ( 343 + u ) / ( 343 - u )

1.02996 = ( 343 + u₂ ) / ( 343 - u )

( 343 + u₂ ) = 1.02996( 343 - u )

343 + u = 353.27628 - 1.02996u

u + 1.02996u = 353.27628 - 343

2.02996u = 10.27628

u = 10.27628 / 2.02996

u = 5.062 m/s

Therefore, the second moth is moving at 5.062 m/s

I am struggling on this physics question. Brainly is my last hope. Could somebody please provide an answer to this question, wit

1) 29.4 N

The force of gravity between two objects is given by:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M and m are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the centres of mass of the two objects

In this problem, we have

$M=5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg$ (mass of the Earth)

$m=3.0 kg$ (mass of the box)

$r=R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$ (Earth's radius, which is also the distance between the centres of mass of the two objects, since the box is located at Earth's surface)

Substituting into the equation, we find F:

$F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.97\cdot 10^{24})(3.0)}{(6.37\cdot 10^6)^2}=29.4 N$

2) $g=9.8 m/s^2$

Let's now calculate the ratio F/m. We have:

F = 29.4 N

m = 3.0 kg

Subsituting, we find

$\frac{F}{m}=\frac{29.4}{3.0}=9.8 N/kg = 9.8 m/s^2$

This is called acceleration of gravity, and it is the acceleration at which every object falls near the Earth's surface. It is indicated with the symbol $g$ .

We can prove that this is the acceleration of the object: in fact, according to Newton's second law,

$F=ma$

where a is the acceleration of the object. Re-arranging,

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

which is exactly equal to the quantity we have calculated above.

A high-jumper, having just cleared the bar, lands on an air mattress and comes to rest. Had she landed directly on the hard grou

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

e. the air mattress exerts the same impulse, but a smaller net avg force, on the high-jumper than hard-ground.

Explanation:

This is according to the Newton's second law and energy conservation that the force exerted by the hard-ground is more than the force exerted by the mattress.

The hard ground stops the moving mass by its sudden reaction in the opposite direction of impact force whereas the mattress takes a longer time to stop the motion of same mass in a longer time leading to lesser average reaction force.

<u>Mathematical expression for the Newton's second law of motion is given as:</u>

$F=\frac{dp}{dt}$ ............................................(1)

where:

dp = change in momentum

dt = time taken to change the momentum

We know, momentum:

$p=m.v$

Now, equation (1) becomes:

$F=\frac{d(m.v)}{dt}$

<em>∵mass is constant at speeds v << c (speed of light)</em>

$\therefore F=m.\frac{dv}{dt}$

and, $\frac{dv}{dt} =a$

where: a = acceleration

$\Rightarrow F=m.a$

also

$F\propto \frac{1}{dt}$

so, more the time, lesser the force.

<em>& </em><u><em>Impulse:</em></u>

$I=F.dt$

$I=m.a.dt$

$I=m.\frac{dv}{dt}.dt$

$I=m.dv=dp$

∵Initial velocity and final velocity(=0), of a certain mass is same irrespective of the stopping method.

So, the impulse in both the cases will be same.

The electronics supply company where you work has two different resistors, R1 and R2, in its inventory, and you must measure the

elixir [45]

Answer:

R₁ = 23.77 ohms and R₂ = 7.92 ohms

Explanation:

When connected in series, the equivalence resistance, R(eq) is given as

R(eq) = (R₁ + R₂)

When connected in parallel, the equivalence resistance, R(eq) is given as

[1/R(eq)] = [(1/R₁) + (1/R₂)]

R(eq) = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂)

The parallel and series combination are connected to a battery of emf 39.0 V with negligible internal resistance. And the power supplied is measured.

But power supplied is given as

P = IV = (V/R) V = (V²/R)

When connected in series, the power supplied is given as

P = 48.0 W,

V = 39.0 V,

R = R(eq) = (R₁ + R₂)

48 = (39²/R)

R = (39²/48)

R = 31.6875 ohms

R = (R₁ + R₂) = 31.6875

(R₁ + R₂) = 31.6875 (eqn 1)

When connected in series, the power supplied is given as

P = 256.0 W,

V = 39.0 V,

R = R(eq) = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂)

256 = (39²/R)

R = (39²/256)

R = 5.9414 ohms

R = R(eq) = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 5.9414

(R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 5.9414

But, recall eqn 1

(R₁ + R₂) = 31.6875

(R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 5.9414

Substituting for (R₁ + R₂)

(R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = (R₁R₂)/31.6875 = 5.9414

(R₁R₂) = 31.6875 × 5.9414 = 188.2683

R₁ = (188.2683/R₂)

(R₁ + R₂) = 31.6875

Substituting for R₁

(188.2683/R₂) + R₂ = 31.6875

multiply through by R₂

188.2683 + R₂² = 31.6875R₂

R₂² - 31.6875R₂ + 188.2683 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation

R₂ = 23.77 ohms or 7.92 ohms

If R₂ = 23.77 ohms, R₁ = 7.92 ohms

If R₂ = 7.92 ohms, R₁ = 23.77 ohms

Since the question explains that R₁ > R₂

R₁ = 23.77 ohms and R₂ = 7.92 ohms

Hope this Helps!!!
