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.

How does a generator work?
insens350 [35]

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output.

It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.

The modern-day generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32. Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.

Un bloque de 25 n se encuentra suspendido por un hilo al techo vitamina la tensión que aparece en el hilo
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

T = 25 N

Explanation:

The question says that "A 25 n block is suspended by a wire from the ceiling vitamin the tension that appears in the wire ?"

Weight of the block, W = 25 N

Weight of a body acts in downward direction and tension acts in upward direction. It would mean that,

Tension = weight of the block

T = mg

T = 25 N

Hence, the tension in the wire is 25 N.

If the torque required to loosen the nut that is holding a flat tire in a place on a car has a magnitude of 35 N•m what minimum
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: F = 130 N

Explanation: Solution:

Convert first 27 cm to m.

27 cm  x 0.01 m / 1 cm = 0.27 m

Calculate the torque using T = Fd

Derive to find force F

F = T /d

  = 35 N.m / 0.27 m

  = 130 N
