Bats use a process called echolocation to find their food. This involves giving out sound waves that hit possible prey or food.

cupoosta [38]

The type of waves used by bats are sound waves. Most of the species use their larynx to produce ultrasound waves in the frequency range of 20 to 200 kilohertz.
These sound waves are echoed, reflected, by surroundings, in this case food or prey. These reflections are received by the specialized receptor cells in the ears of bats. The reflections are analyzed by the brain to make an image.
Fun fact: The brain cells of bats are also specialized to better analyze the frequency of ultrasound used by the bat.

X-rays are used instead of visible light because X-rays have shorter ______________ than visible light, allowing them to produce

Novay_Z [31]

X-rays have shorter wavelength than visible light. But that's hardly the reason that they're used for medical imaging. xrays have much higher frequencies then visible light which means they have much greater penetrating ability. with xrays you can see inside the body. you can't do that with a visible flashlight no matter how bright and powerful it is.

A 40.0 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hi.nge and its far end is supported by a cable. The angle between the beam and the c

GalinKa [24]

The magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi.nge will be,261.12N.

To find the answer, we need to know about the tension.

<h3>How to find the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi.nge?</h3>

Let's draw the free body diagram of the system using the given data.
From the diagram, we have to find the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi.nge.
For that, it is given that the horizontal component of force is equal to the 86.62N, which is same as that of the horizontal component of normal reaction that exerts by the beam on the hi.nge.

$N_x=86.62N$

We have to find the vertical component of normal reaction that exerts by the beam on the hi.nge. For this, we have to equate the total force in the vertical direction.

$N_y=F_V=mg-Tsin59\\$

To find Ny, we need to find the tension T.
For this, we can equate the net horizontal force.

$F_H=N_x=Tcos59\\\\T=\frac{F_H}{cos59} =\frac{86.62}{0.51}= 169.84N$

Thus, the vertical component of normal reaction that exerts by the beam on the hi.nge become,

$N_y= (40*9.8)-(169.8*sin59)=246.4N$

Thus, the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi.nge will be,

$N=\sqrt{N_x^2+N_y^2} =\sqrt{(86.62)^2+(246.4)^2}=261.12N$

Thus, we can conclude that, the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi.nge is 261.12N.

A 0.03 kg golf ball is hit off the tee at a speed of 34 m/s. The golf club was in contact with the ball for 0.003 s. What is the

Liula [17]

Answer:

The average force on ball by the golf club is 340 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the golf ball, m = 0.03 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 0

Final speed of the ball, v = 34 m/s

Time of contact, $\Delta t=0.003\ s$

We need to find the average force on ball by the golf club. We know that the rate of change of momentum is equal to the net external force applied such that :

$F=\dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{mv-mu}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{mv}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{0.03\ kg\times 34\ m/s}{0.003\ s}\\\\F=340\ N$

So, the average force on ball by the golf club is 340 N.

The record for the highest speed achieved in alaboratory for a

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

0.000234 seconds

Explanation:

Since the row is 0.15m, its radius of rotation must be 0.15 / 2 = 0.075 m

We can start by calculating the angular speed of the rod:

$\omega = \frac{v}{r} = \frac{2010}{0.075} = 26800 rad/s$

Since one revolution equals to 2π rad. The speed in revolution per second must be

26800 / 2π = 4265 revolution/s

The number of seconds per revolution, or period, is the inverse:

1/4265 = 0.000234 seconds
