What do echolocation and ultrasounds have in common?

1 answer:

8 0

They both are mechanical waves.

Explanation:

Echolocation and ultrasounds are both mechanical waves that require a medium to trace through. They both process and transfer information through waves; the difference is that we humans cannot hear ultrasound waves.

Estimate the mass of the Great Pyramid of Giza, in tons. You make may use of the following information: the Great Pyramid is in

postnew [5]

Answer:

6005803.83105 short tons

Explanation:

The definition of density is $\rho = \frac{m}{V}$ , and the volume of a pyramid is (confusingly written on the proposal) $V=\frac{1}{3} Ah$ , so we can write:

$m=\rho V=\rho V \frac{1}{3} Ah=\rho V \frac{1}{3} s^2h$

Where s is the side of the base, being $s^2$ the area of that square.

We will write everything in S.I., and the best way to convert units is using conversion factors, for example, since 1m=100cm, we know that $\frac{1m}{100cm}=1$ , and we can use this factor to convert anything written in cm to anything written in m. Example:

$500cm=500cm\frac{1m}{100cm}=5m$

Here we just multiplied 500cm by something that is equal to 1 (as every conversion factor must), so <em>it's not doing anything but changing the units</em>.

We can use this tool like this:

$2.1\frac{g}{cm^3}=2.1\frac{g}{cm^3}(\frac{1Kg}{1000g})(\frac{100cm}{1m})^3=2100Kg/m^3$

Where we have used the fact that $1^3=1$ (<u>we can elevate any conversion factor to any number and they still will be 1</u>) and where we have placed strategically what is the numerator and what in the denominator so the units we don't want cancel out and the units we want appear.

Substituting then our values:

$m=\rho V \frac{1}{3} s^2h=(2100Kg/m^3)\frac{1}{3} (230.34m)^2(146.7m)=5448373586.96Kg$

And now we will convert to short tons using two conversion factors at the same time:

$m=5448373586.96\ Kg(\frac{1\ lb}{0.45359237\ Kg})(\frac{1\ short\ ton}{2000\ lb} )=6005803.83105\ short \ tons$

Remember, their value is 1, and we place the units to cancel the ones we don't want and keep the ones we want, here Kg cancel out, and lb cancel out, leaving the short tones.

When the electrons reach the collector, they flow towards the positivly charged grid. The resulting current is measured. Note th

Masja [62]

Answer:

We can conclude by saying that in the beginning current will increase but after sometime, it becomes saturated.

Explanation:

Note: No information on change in number of electron generated.

Since there is a collision, the electrons emitted will not reach the collector at same time. As the voltage is increased, the the speed with which the electrons will reach the collector starts to increase. Due to this, electric current will first increases till all the emitted electrons reach the collector. Since we are not provided with the information that number of electrons generated are changing, after increasing voltage current will increase for some time and then reaches a saturated state.

We can conclude by saying that in the beginning current will increase but after sometime it becomes saturated.

What is the relationship between the valence electrons of an atom and the chemical bonds the atom can form?

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Valence electrons are outer shell electrons with an atom and can participate in the formation of chemical bonds. In single covalent bonds, typically both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair. The ground state of an atom is the lowest energy state of the atom.
