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.

A kid pulls on a rope with 20 newtons of force. The block and tackle system pulls up a 160 newton box. What is the mechanical ad
Minchanka [31]
Answer:
The mechanical advantage of the system is 8

Explanation:
the mechanical advantage measures how much the system multiplies the input force to get the output.

In the given:
The input force (effort) is 20 Newton
The output force (load) is 160 Newton

This means that the mechanical advantage is:
mechanical advantage = load / effort = 160 / 20 = 8

Note that the mechanical advantage is unit-less (has no unit) since it is a ratio between two forces.

Hope this helps :)

What is a force, motion and energy??​
Leviafan [203]

Answer:Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. All moving objects have kinetic energy. When an object is in motion, it changes its position by moving in a direction: up, down, forward, or backward. 3.  A force is a push or pull that causes an object to move, change direction, change speed, or stop.

Explanation: Not sure if that's what you meant but that's the answer I can give you.
