When a bat uses echolocation to determine the distance to an insect, it sends out a sound wave and waits to see how long the sou

nd takes to echo back. Suppose now that a bat hears its echo 0.06 LaTeX: ss after it emitted the sound. If the speed of sound is 344.9 LaTeX: \frac{m}{s}m s, how far away is the insect in meters?

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance travelled by sound in going to target( insect )  and returning back = 2d ,d is distance of target .

time t = .06 s

speed = distance / time

344.9 = 2d / .06

d = 10.35 m

Shkiper50 [21]

The force required to extend a rod increases as the cross sectional area

increases.

The rod that experiences the largest force is <u>rod B</u>

Reason:

The elongation of a rod by the application of a force is given by the

following formula;

\Delta L = \dfrac{F \cdot L}{A \cdot E}

From the above equation, we have that the elongation is inversely

proportional to the cross sectional area, such that the extension of a rod by

a given force reduces as the cross sectional area of the rod increases.

Therefore, the force required to extend the length of a rod by a specific

amount increases as the cross sectional area of the rod increases,

indicating that the rod with the largest cross sectional area require the

most force and therefore, experiences the largest force.

The rod that experiences the largest force is the rod with the largest cross

sectional area, which is <u>rod B</u>

Two trains are traveling on the same track and in the same direction. The first train, which is behind the second train, blows a
Andrews [41]

Answer:

37.545 m/s

Explanation:

f' = Actual frequency of horn = 269 Hz

f = Observed frequency of horn = 290 Hz

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

v_0 = Speed of second train = 13.7 m/s

v_s = Speed of first train

From Doppler effect we have

f=f'\dfrac{v-v_0}{v-v_s}\\\Rightarrow v_s=v-\dfrac{f'}{f}(v-v_0)\\\Rightarrow v_s=343-\dfrac{269}{290}(343-13.7)\\\Rightarrow v_s=37.545\ m/s

The speed of the first train is 37.545 m/s

The energy stored in a wooden log transforms when the log is burned. Which of the following explanations BEST describes how the
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

D. the amount of chemical energy equals the amount of heat and light energy.

Explanation:

Given that the first law of thermodynamics affirmed that energy is neither created nor destroyed however, it can be transformed from one form to another. In other words, while, during the transformation of energy, no energy is lost, the input energy is also equal to output energy.

Hence, the chemical energy stored in the log is EQUAL to the heat and light energy produced by burning.

A traditional unit of length in Japan is the ken (1 ken 1.97 m). What are the ratios of (a) square kens to square meters and (b)
Roman55 [17]
If 1 ken is 1.97 meter, then 1 square ken is 3.8809 square meters, and one cubic ken is 7.645373. As for the cylindrical tank, the volume of it would be 10.835 times the radius of the cylinder time 1.97^2 times pi. As you didn't specify the radius, I can't give the exact answer but that would be how to get it.
