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.

bija089 [108]

Answer: El trabajo realizado al desplazar el bloque es: 75 N.m

Datos:

Fuerza= F= 25 N

Distancia= d= 3 m

Explicación:

El trabajo es el producto de la fuerza ejercida sobre un cuerpo con el desplazamiento producido por la fuerza. Para que exista trabajo, la dirección de la fuerza debe ser igual a la dirección del desplazamiento.

Trabajo= Fuerza x Desplazamiento

Reemplazando los datos:

T= 25 N * 3 m

T= 75 N.m

Which organisms develop gills from pharyngeal arches and later develop lungs to breathe on land
lawyer [7]
Apart from cutaneous respiration<span> present in all </span>species<span>, most lissamphibians are born in an aquatic larval stage with gills. After metamorphosis, they develop lungs to breathe on land. The larvae of urodeles and apods present external, filamentous and highly branched gills which allow them to breathe underwater.

A bird is flying due east. Its distance from a tall building is given by x(t) = 28.0 m + (12.4 m/s)t – (0.0450 m/s3)t3. What is
Kruka [31]

Answer:

3.76 m/s

Explanation:

Instantaneous velocity: This can be defined as the velocity of an object in a non uniform motion. The S.I unit is m/s.

v' = dx(t)/dt..................... Equation 1

Where v' = instantaneous velocity, x = distance, t = time.

Given the expression,

x(t) = 28.0 m + (12.4 m/s)t - (0.0450 m/s³)t³

x(t) = 28 + 12.4t - 0.0450t³

Differentiating x(t) with respect to t.

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135t²

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135t²

When t = 8.00 s.

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135(8)²

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 8.64

dx(t)/dt = 3.76 m/s.

Therefore,

v' = 3.76 m/s.

Hence, the instantaneous velocity = 3.76 m/s
