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.

If 190 grams of water is cooled from 42.7°C to 21.2° C how much energy was lost by the water?

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Energy lost by the water is 17.1 x 10³ J .

Explanation:

Specific heat is defined as the amount of energy per unit mass needed to raise the temperature of the substance by a one degree Celsius.

Heat energy gain or loss by any substance is given by :

Q = m x C x ( T₁ - T₂ ) .....(1)

Here m is the mass of the substance, C is specific heat of the substance and T₁ and T₂ are the initial and final temperature of the substance.

According to the problem,

Mass of water, m = 190 gm

Specific heat of water, C = 4.186 J gm⁻¹ ⁰C⁻¹

Initial temperature, T₁ = 42.7⁰ C

Final temperature, T₂ = 21.2⁰ C

Substitute these values in equation (1).

Heat energy loss by water = 190 x 4.186 x ( 21.2 - 42.7 )

= -17.1 x 10³ J

In the above value, negative sign denotes the loss in energy.

Two paths lead to the top of a big hill. One is steep and direct, while the other is twice as long but less steep. How much more

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

None.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, depends only of the mass on which the gravity is doing work, and the displacement produced by this force.
As displacement depends only on the final and initial positions (in this case, the height of the hill), if we choose as our zero reference level the bottom of the hill, the change in gravitational potential energy will be as follows:

$\Delta U = U_{f} -U_{0} = m*g*h - 0 = m*g*h$
