A small boy and a grown woman both speak at approximately the same pitch. Nonetheless, it’s easy to tell which is which from lis

tening to the sounds of their voices. How are you able to make this determination?

Answer: Different vocal tract and harmonics

Explanation:

We are given that a small boy and a grown woman both speak at approximately the same pitch.

To distinguish between the two, we check their harmonics which is different for both of them owing to the different vocal tracts they have. Owing to different vocal tracts, they each produce different harmonic which is actually the multiple of frequency of the wave. Thus, we can make the determination using this.

How can you use the position-time graphs for two in-line skaters to determine if and when one in-line skater will pass the other
Jet001 [13]

Explanation:

Position-time graphs measure/express the position of a skater over time relative to the start or finish of the race (depends on how it is used). Note: are the skaters in line vertically or horizontally? Like is one directly behind the other or are they next to each other?

If the two skaters are in line horizontally with each other, then their position will be the same relative to the start or finish of the race. This means if one passes the other one, the position would be different for all times after they pass. On the graph, it would look like one single line at the start (as position is same) which splits into 2 (representing the new difference in position due to 1 passing the other.

If the two skaters are in line vertically, their lines on the graph will appear parallel to each other (assuming they are going same speed) because the position is changing at the same rate, one is just reaching the same point after the other. If the skater behind overtakes the one in front. The lines on the graph will cross and continue either in parallel but with the other line on top to represent the moment where their position is the same right before they pass and after, where the second skater is now in front.

Hope this helped!

Consider a space shuttle which has a mass of about 1.0 x 105 kg and circles the Earth at an altitude of about 200.0 km. Calculat
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

1.6675×10^-16N

Explanation:

The force of gravity that the space shuttle experiences is expressed as;

g = GM/r²

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass = 1.0 x 10^5 kg

r is the altitude = 200km = 200,000m

Substitute into the formula

g = 6.67×10^-11 × 1.0×10^5/(2×10^5)²

g = 6.67×10^-6/4×10^10

g = 1.6675×10^{-6-10}

g = 1.6675×10^-16N

Hence the force of gravity experienced by the shuttle is 1.6675×10^-16N

Galileo discovered that which planet undergoes phases as viewed from earth?
balu736 [363]
<h2>Answer: Venus</h2>

Galileo was the first to use the telescope to observe the heavens, mainly observing the Moon, the Sun with its sunspots, Jupiter with its moons and Venus (in the early 1600s).

In the case of Venus, he observed that it presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth.

This is because Venus presented its smaller size when it is in full phase and the largest size when it is in the new one, when it is between the Sun and the Earth.

These images along with other discoveries were presented to the Catholic Church (which supported the <u>geocentric theory</u> for that time) as a proof that completely refutes Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirms <u>Copernicus' heliocentric theory.</u>
