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

Mila [183]
<h2>Kinetic energy of mass 4 kg ball is less than kinetic energy of mass 2 kg ball</h2>

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Velocity²

For ball of mass 2 kg

           Mass, m = 2 kg

           Velocity, v = 4 m/s

           Kinetic energy = 0.5 x 2 x 4² = 16 J

For ball of mass 4 kg

           Mass, m = 4 kg

           Velocity, v = 2 m/s

           Kinetic energy = 0.5 x 4 x 2² = 8 J

Kinetic energy of mass 4 kg ball is less than kinetic energy of mass 2 kg ball

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: A. The total number of protons and the total number of neutrons both remain the same.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the process in which a large nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei with the release of energy. In other words, fission is the process in which a nucleus is divided into two or more fragments, and neutrons and energy are released.

Dafna1 [17]

The wavelength of the first harmonic of the standing wave is 2L.

<h3>What is a standing wave?</h3>

A standing wave is one in which the obvious points remain fixed as the vibration continues. A standing wave occurs in a wind instrument such as a trumpet, saxophone etc.

We know from  the formula of the first harmonic that the wavelength of the first harmonic of the standing wave is 2L.

You observe a plane approaching overhead and assume that its speed is 600 miles per hour. The angle of elevation of the plane is
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:4.34 miles

Explanation:

first  Elevation =19^{\circ}

After 1 minute Elevation changes to 59^{\circ}

Ditsance travelled in 1 minute =600\times \frac{1}{60}=10 mile

Now

tan59=\frac{H}{x}

H=xtan59

tan19=\frac{H}{10+x}

H=\left ( 10+x\right )tan19

Equating H

we get

1.319x=10tan19

x=2.61 miles

H=2.61\times tan59=4.34 miles
