Answer: In echolocation, you use wave sounds to found objects:

A source emanates a wave of sound, and the sound travels in the medium, eventually rebounds on a wall or something, and the wave returns to the source. Then the source is listening the echoes of the sound ( this is the motive of the name)

Now, if some object is between the walls and the source, then when the wave reaches that object, a small part of the wave will rebound first than the rest of it, and the thing using echolocation will know that there is an object and the exact position of the object.

This is something that some animals use to move in dark places, for example the bats use echolocation when they do that little noises in caves.

Yes echolocation is based on the use of sound and knowing where the sound comes from without having to look for it a lot of soldiers on the battle field need to know how to use echolocation so they can basically not die

Physical science is science which studies non-living things.This covers things on earth to the universe.The main branches are physics and chemistry.The other sub-branches are Astronomy, meteorology and Geology.Physics is concerned with the basic principals of matter and energy.It covers concepts in motion, energy, force, pressure , light and many other areas we encounter in our day to day life.Chemistry is concerned with composition of matter and how it reacts.Material in chemistry is understood through observing molecules, atoms, elements and their interaction in nature including their properties.Chemistry is further divided into organic chemistry and natural chemistry sub-branches.

Hope this helps you!!!

The first law of thermodynamics can be given as ________.

MrRa [10]

The first law of thermodynamics can be written as
$\Delta U = Q-W$
where
$\Delta U$ is the variation of internal energy of the system
$Q$ is the amount of heat absorbed by the system
$W$ is the work done by the system on the surrounding.

Using this form, the sign convention for Q and W becomes:
Q > 0 --> heat absorbed by the system (because it increases the internal energy)
Q < 0 --> heat released by the system (because it decreases the internal energy)
W > 0 --> work done by the system (for instance, an expansion: when the system expands, it does work on the surrounding, and so the internal energy decreases, this is why there is a negative sign in the formula Q-W)
W < 0 --> work done by the surrounding on the system (for instance, a compression: when the system is compressed, the surrounding is doing work on the system, and so the internal energy of the system increases)

What accounts for the two precipitation peaks in mbandaka?

slava [35]

The two precipitation peaks in Mbandaka during March to April and September to November is due to the intertropical convergence zone.

Intertropical convergence zone is a narrow zone located near the equator. It is where the northern and southern air masses intersect which results to low atmospheric pressure. Due to the intertropical convergence zone’s meeting of air masses, often times the air pressure are lower which will results to colder air, or even rainfall during the period of March to April, and most especially September to November in Mbandaka.

<span>Since Mbandaka is located at the cented of Tumba-Ngiri-Maindombe area, which is named as a Wetland of International importance, there is really a bigger chance that this place experience above 60mm precipitation in a year, temperatures averaging from 23 – 26 degrees Celsius.</span>

Test populations are studied. Population one is found to obey the differential equation dy1/da=o.2y1 and the population two obey

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Population 1 indicates growth while Population 2 indicates a declining population

Explanation:

Here, using the given rate of change of the population, we want to determine which of the two is growing and which is declining

From the rate of change of both, we can determine this. Looking at the differential equation for the first one, we can see that it is of positive value. Looking at the differential equation for the second one. we can see it is of negative value

While a positive change rate indicates growth, a negative change rate will indicate otherwise

Hence, we can conclude that the one with a negative rate change will indicate a declining population
