The correct answer to this is:

“Air traffic controllers”

These people are the personnel who is responsible for the safety, orderly, and swift flow of planes flying in and out of airports using the global air traffic control system. They are generally stationed in air traffic control centers and control towers on the airport ground. They monitor the position, speed, and elevation of aircraft in their designated airspace visually and by radar, and give directions to the pilots by radio.

While bats emit a wide variety of sounds, one type emits pulses of sound at a frequency between 39 kHz and 78 kHz. What is the r

sdas [7]

Answer:

The range of wavelengths of the sound is 7692.30 m and 3846.15 m

Explanation:

A bat emits pulses of sound at a frequency between 39 kHz and 78 kHz. It is required to find the range of wavelengths of this sound.

Bat uses ultrasonic waves. It moves with the speed of light.

If f = 39 kHz,

$\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{39\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=7692.30\ m$

If f = 78 kHz,

$\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{78\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=3846.15\ m$

So, the range of wavelengths of the sound is 7692.30 m and 3846.15 m.

A piece of driftwood moves up and down as water waves pass beneath it. However, it does not move toward the shore with the waves

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

It's A

Explanation:

As the waves progress through the medium, the particles they are made of move perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. The particles do not move with the wave. So waves transmit energy but not matter as they progress through a medium.

a hammer drops from a height of 8 meters. calculate the speed with which it hits the ground. show work

ioda

Answer:

12.5 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the hammer is a free fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Where, taking downward as positive direction, we have:

s = 8 m is the displacement of the hammer

u = 0 is the initial velocity (it is dropped from rest)

v is the final velocity

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Solving the equation for v, we find the final velocity:

$v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8)(8)}=12.5 m/s$

So, the final speed is 12.5 m/s.

What us meant by Velocity ratio of simple machine is 4?

butalik [34]

The force ratio of a machine is 4 and it velocity ratio is 4 means that the load moved is four times the effort applied and the distance moved by the effort is five times the distance moved by the load at the same time interval.

Why does sugar dissolves easily in water but sand doesn’t

GarryVolchara [31]

Table sugar dissolves in water because when a sucrose molecule breaks from the sugar crystal, it is immediately surrounded by water molecules. The sucrose has hydroxyl groups that have a slight negative charge. ... Sand can't dissolve in waterbecause the 'spaces' in between the water particles. :)
