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.

A simple pendulum is used to determine the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of a planet. The pendulum has a length of
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity is 20 m/sec^2

So option (E) will be correct answer

Explanation:

We have given length of the pendulum l = 2 m

Time period of the pendulum T = 2 sec

We have to find acceleration due to gravity g

We know that time period of pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

2=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}

0.3184= \sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}

Squaring both side

0.1014= {\frac{2}{g}}

g=19.71=20m/sec^2

So acceleration due to gravity is 20 m/sec^2

So option (E) will be correct answer.

Vitek1552 [10]

Three moons can fit inside the volume of the sun.

<h3>What is the moon?</h3>

The moon is a non luminous body found in the space. It could cause a solar eclipse when it comes between the sun and the earth.

Since the Earth’s diameter is about 8,000 miles and the Moon’s diameter is about 2,000 miles, to obtain the number of moons that could fit inside the sun we have;

8,000 miles/ 2,000 miles = 3

Hence, three moons can fit inside the volume of the sun.

​A piston–cylinder assembly contains 5.0 kg of air, initially at 2.0 bar, 30 oC. The air undergoes a process to a state where th
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Explanation:

The process is isothermic,  as P V = constant .

work done = 2.303 n RT log P₁ / P₂

= 2.303 x 5 / 29 x 8.3 x 303  log 2 / 1 kJ

= 300.5k J

This energy in work done by the gas will come fro heat supplied as internal energy is constant due to constant temperature.

heat supplied  = 300.5k J

specific volume is volume per unit mass

v / m

pv = n RT

pv  = m / M  RT

v / m = RT / p M

specific volume = RT / p M

option B is correct.

How much force must be applied for a 150.W motor to keep a package moving at 3.00m/s?
leva [86]

The force must be applied for motor to keep the package moving is 50 N.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is the action of push or pull the object in order to make it move or stop.

Power is related to force and velocity as

P = F x v

150 W = F x 3 m/s

F  =50 N

Thus, the force must be applied for motor to keep the package moving is 50 N.
