An airplane of mass 1.2 × 10^4 kg tows a glider of mass 0.6 × 10^4 kg. The airplane propellers provide a net forward thrust of 5.4 × 10^4 N. What is the glider's acceleration?
a. 2.0 m/s2 c. 6.0 m/s2 b. 3.0 m/s2 d. 9.8 m/s2
A bat, flying due east at 2 m/s, emits a shriek that is reflected back to it from an oncoming insect flying directly toward the bat at 4 m/s. The insect is 20 m from the bat at the instant the shriek is emitted. Sound travels 340 m/s in air
After what elapsed time does the bat hear the reflected echo?
