A bat moving at 3.7 m/s is chasing a ying insect. The bat emits a 36 kHz chirp and receives back an echo at 36.79 kHz. At what s

peed is the bat gaining on its prey? Take the speed of sound in air to be 340 m/s.

Answer:

The speed the bat is gaining on its prey is 0.03m/s

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the bat, v₀ = 3.7 m/s

frequency of the bat, F₀ = 36 kHz

frequency of the source, Fs = 36.79

This is relative motion between a source of the sound and the observer.  The phenomenon is known as Doppler effect.

Apply the following equation to determine the speed of the insect which is the source;

F_0 = F_s[\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{F_0}{F_s} = [\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{36.79}{36} = \frac{340+3.7}{340-v_s}\\\\1.0219 = \frac{343.7}{340-v_s}\\\\  340-v_s = \frac{343.7}{1.0219}\\\\340-v_s = 336.33\\\\v_s = 340-336.33\\\\v_s = 3.67 \ m/s

The speed the bat is gaining on its prey = 3.7m/s - 3.67m/s = 0.03 m/s

Therefore, the speed the bat is gaining on its prey is 0.03m/s

"A 0.4 kg mass, attached to the end of a 0.75 m string, is whirled around in a circular horizontal path. If the maximum tension
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The maximum velocity the mass can have if the string is not to break = 29.05 m/s

Explanation:

The force balance in the mass:

The tension in the string must always be equal to the force keeping the mass in horizontal circular motion.

The force keeping the mass in circular motion is given by

F = mv²/r

m = mass of body = 0.4 kg

v = speed of the body in circular motion

r = radius of the circular motion = 0.75 m

Maximum tension the string can withstand will correspond to the maximum velocity of the body in horizontal circular motion

T = F = mv²/r

450 = (0.4)(v²)/(0.75)

v² = 450×0.75/0.4 = 843.75

v = 29.05 m/s

A police car moving at 36.0 m/s is chasing a speeding motorist traveling at 30.0 m/s. The police car has a siren that emits soun
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The frequency heard by the motorist is 4313.2 Hz.

Explanation:

let f1 be the frequency emited by the police car and f2 be the frequency heard by the motorist, let v1 be the speed of the police car and v2 be the speed of the motorist and v = 343 m/s be the speed of sound.

because the police car is moving towards the motorist at a higher speed, then the motorist will hear a increasing frequency and according to Dopper effect, that frequency is given by:

f1 =  [(v + v2/(v - v1))]×(f2)

   = [( 343 + 30)/(343 - 36)]×(3550)

   = 4313.2 Hz

Therefore, the frequency heard by the motorist is 4313.2 Hz.

Write whether true or false...
elixir [45]

Answer:

a --> true, b --> false, c --> true, d -->false

Explanation:

a) since it stays floating the gravity force and the upqards push is the same

b) if it's balanced the rocket won't move from the ground, the force of the rocket, has to exceed the force of gravity

c) since it's going in a diretion the force of gravity is exceeding the force pushing it up

d) since that are speeding up at a rate, meaning growing, the force is unbalanced.
