Sperm whales, just like bats, use echolocation to find prey. A sperm whale’s vocal system creates a single sharp click, but the

emitted sound consists of several equally spaced clicks of decreasing intensity. Researchers use the time interval between the clicks to estimate the size of the whale that created them. Explain how this might be done.
Hint: The head of a sperm whale is complex, with air pockets at either end.

Answer: The size of the whale can be estimated by using echo Sounder or Sonar

Explanation:The researchers and physicst uses the knowledge of reflection of sound in water or echo to solve a lot of puzzle under water , including calclulating the distance and size of objects like fish,sunk ship,etc

The sonar is able to receive the signals from the whales and the succesive echoes that follows when placed in a strategic position in the water in the path of the whale .

The sonar has a traducers which has both a transmitter and a receiver,so it receives pulses from the whale and transmit back same echo back to the whale and to the bottom of the sea.

Using the speed of sound underwater and time taken for succesive echoes of pulses ,it can calculate with the precision the location of the whale while the image of the whale is also capture by the traducers to determine the size.

Consider a metal single crystal oriented such that the normal to the slip plane and the slip direction are at angles of 60 and 3
Scilla [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle by the normal to the slip α= 60°

Angle by the slip direction with the tensile axis β= 35°

Shear stress = 6.2 MPa

Applied stress = 12 MPa

We need to calculate the shear stress applied at the slip plane

Using formula of shear stress

\tau=\sigma\cos\alpha\cos\beta

Put the value into the formula

\tau=12\cos60\times\cos35

\tau=4.91\ MPa

Since, the shear stress applied at the slip plane is less than the critical resolved shear stress

So, The crystal will not yield.

Now, We need to calculate the applied stress necessary for the crystal to yield

Using formula of stress

\sigma=\dfrac{\tau_{c}}{\cos\alpha\cos\beta}

Put the value into the formula

\sigma=\dfrac{6.2}{\cos60\cos35}

\sigma=15.13\ MPa

Hence, This is the required solution.

A muscle inserts 1.5 cm from the joint axis and exerts 300 N of force at an angle of pull of 60 degrees. How much torque is prod
Amanda [17]

Answer:

torque = 3.897 N-m

Explanation:

given data

force = 300 N

angle = 60 degree

distance = 15 cm

to find out

torque

solution

we will apply here torque formula that is given below

torque = force × sinθ × distance    ...................1

put here all these value in equation 1

we get torque

torque  = force × sinθ × distance

torque  = 300 × sin60 × 1.5 ×10^{-2}

torque  = 300 × 0.8660 × 1.5 ×10^{-2}

torque  = 259.80 × 1.5 ×10^{-2}

torque  = 389.711 ×10^{-2}

torque = 3.897 N-m
