Dolphin echolocation is similar to ultrasound. Reflected sound waves

Physics
1 answer:
s344n2d4d5 [400]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

Explanation:

To understand why high-frequency waves work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation, first we have to understand the relation between frequency and wavelength.

The relation between frequency and wavelength is given by

λ = c/f

Where λ is wavelength, c is the speed of light and f is the frequency.

Since the speed of light is constant, the wavelength and frequency are inversely related.

So that means high frequency waves have shorter wavelengths, which is the very reason for the successful echolocation because waves having shorter wavelength are more likely to reach and hit the target and then reflect back to the dolphin to form an image of the object.

Thus, waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

Suppose you exert 150 n on your refrigerator and push it across the kitchen floor at constant velocity. what friction force acts
Pachacha [2.7K]
Due that the velocity is constant that means that friction force is equal to the force exert by you, otherwise the refrigerator will accelerate or decelerate and in both cases velocity will not be constant.  
So then the friction force between refrigerator and floor is 150 Newtons.

Scientists are experimenting with a kind of gun that may eventually be used to fire payloads directly into orbit. In one test, t
kkurt [141]

Answer:

t=0.038s

Explanation:

Project mass m=3.8 kg

Initial speed vi= 0m/s

Final speed vf= 9.3×10³ m/s

Force F=9.3×10⁵N

To find

Time t

Solution

From Newtons second law we know that

∑F=ma

Where m is mass

a is acceleration

We can write this equation as

∑F=m(Δv/Δt)

=m\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}

Rearrange this equation to find time t

So

t=m\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{F}

Substitute the given values

t=3.8kg\frac{9.3*10^3m/s-0}{9.3*10^5N} \\t=0.038s
