Answer:

Not to have any contact between fuel pump and tank.

Explanation:

Static spark occurs when there is a imbalance of electric charges at surface of any material. This can even  result into high damage especially while filling boat tank, hence measures should be taken to prevent static sparks.

* Make sure not to have any contact between the brim or surface of fuel pump and the tank's opening.

* Fill the tank carefully without spilling the fuel in water.

* Never fill the tank up to its maximum capacity.

To prevent static sparks that could occur while you fill fuel is that, a person who is filling the tank should remember that the nozzle of the fuel pump hose should always be in connected or in contact to the tank. This will prevent static sparks from happening to the boat that is going to be used and prevent harm to the person using or refilling the fuel.

A bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes.
zaharov [31]

Given that,

Frequency emitted by the bat, f = 47.6 kHz

The speed off sound in air, v = 413 m/s

We need to find the wavelength detected by the bat. The speed of a wave is given by formula as follows :

v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{413}{47.6\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=0.00867\ m

or

\lambda=8.67\ mm

So, the bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes i.e. 8.67 mm.

A sound wave from a police siren has an intensity of 100.0 W/m² at a certain point; a second sound wave from a nearby ambulance
Irina18 [472]

The sound level of the sound wave due to the ambulance is 140.

<h3>What do you mean by sound?</h3>

In terms of physics, the sound is a vibration that travels through a transmission medium like a gas, liquid, or solid as an acoustic wave. Sound is the reception of these waves and the brain's perception of them in terms of human physiology and psychology. Only acoustic waves with frequencies between roughly 20 Hz and 20 kHz, or the audio frequency range, can cause a human to have an auditory sensation. These are sound waves with wavelengths ranging from 17 meters (56 ft) to 1.7 millimeters in the air at atmospheric pressure (0.67 in). Ultrasounds are sound waves with a frequency higher than 20 kHz that are inaudible to humans. Infrasound refers to sound frequencies below 20 Hz. Animals of different species have different hearing ranges.

An object with a mass of 2000 kg accelerates 8.3 m/s2 when an unknown force is applied to it. What is the amount of the force?
exis [7]

Answer:

<h2>16,600 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 2000 × 8.3

We have the final answer as

<h3>16,600 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
