But Now:
Assume that the Receiver is Receding from Source at a speed of 80 m/s relative to the Air.
Assume that the Source is stationary relative to the Air.

Starting from rest, this fist attains a velocity of 8.0 m/s in 0.15 s. What is the magnitude of the average net force applied to the fist to achieve this level of performance?arrow_forwardPart A Learning Goal: To understand and use exponential decays. Exponential decay occurs when a quantity y is proportional to the number e taken to the power -t/T. The quantity T is known as the time constant. So we say that y equals A times the quantity (e to the power of minus t over T) and write this mathematically as y = Ae-T/T, where A is a constant. SCALING Whenever t increases by one time constant, y decreases by a factor of 1/e. For instance: • At time t = 0, y = A. • Increasing time to t = 7, reduces y to A/e. ⚫ A further increase to t = 2T reduces y by another factor of 1/e to A/e². Generally, we can say: At t = nT, y has the value A/en. LIMITS As t becomes large, y becomes very small and approaches zero. Consider the case when the constant A = 3 and 7 = 4. Plot the graph of y = 3e-t/4 at each available point from t = 0 to t = 10. + * 血 No elements selected 4.0 3.0 y 2.0 1.0 0 2.0 4.0 6.0 8.0 10.0 tarrow_forward
- The activity: Fold the sheets of bond paper length-wise and tape them on the floor to make a track for the toy car. Make the track long enough for the toy car to travel 100 cm. Flick or push the toy car with you finger to send it moving along the track and measure the timeit takes to travel 100 cm. In the first activity, does it matter if the floor where you made the track for the toy car is level or not? a . No, because in the activity, the speed of the toy car is constant. b . Yes, because if the floor was not level, gravity would have an influence on the motion of the toy car. c . No, because the activity is looking at the relationship between total distance traveled and elapse time. d . No, because the motion of the toy car will only depend on the flick or push strength that was usedarrow_forwardWrite an explanation or narration about the given problem why the problem got these answers shown in the photos.
