The time lapse between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Velocity of sound (v) = 343 m/s

Distance (x) = 8.42 m

Time (t) =?

We can obtain obtained the time as illustrated below:

v = 2x / t

343 = 2 × 8.42 / t

343 = 16.84 / t

Cross multiply

343 × t = 16.84

Divide both side by 343

t = 16.84/343

t = 0.05 s

Thus, the time between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.

<h3>How does a bat know how far away something is?</h3>

A bat emits a sound wave and carefully listens to the echoes that return to it. The returning information is processed by the bat's brain in the same way that we processed our shouting sound with a stopwatch and calculator. The bat's brain determines the distance of an object by measuring how long it takes for a noise to return.

Answer:

n = 1,875

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is constant (c) and in a material medium it is

v = d / t

The refractive index of a material is defined by

n = c / v

Let's look for the speed of light in the material, in general the length that light travels is known, this value is high, x = 1, when we place a block on the road, a small amount is lengthened by the length of the block, which in general is despised

These measurements are made on a digital oscilloscope that allows to stop the signals and measure their differences, that is, the zero is taken when the first ray arrives and the time for the second ray is measured,

v = d / t

v = 1 / 6.25 10⁻⁹

v = 1.6 10⁸ m / s

we calculate the refractive index

n = 3 10⁸ / 1.6 10⁸

n = 1,875

Explanation:

The fish falls from vertical rest in a time of

t = √(2h/g) = √(2(2.27)/9.81) = 0.68 s

v = d/t = 5.6 / 0.68 = 8.2 m/s

Which types of numbers does scientific notation best describe?

Travka [436]

The correct answer is
c) very small and very large

Let's see this with a few examples:
1) if we have a very small number, such as
 $0.0000000001$
we see that we can write it easily by using the scientific notation:
 $1\cdot 10^{-10}$
2) Similarly, if we have a very large number:
 $10000000000$
we see that we can write it easily by using again the scientific notation:
 $1 \cdot 10^{10}$

A pendulum takes 10 seconds to swing through 2 complete cycles what is it’s period and frequency

Orlov [11]

its period should be the amount it takes to cycle from cycle to cycle so it would be 10 and your frequency would have to be calculated by taking 10 and dividing by 2 since that is how many cycles you have done so your frequency is 5
