Answer:

6.136 mm

Explanation:

given,

frequency emitted by the bat = 5.59 x 10⁴ Hz

speed of sound = 343 m/s

smallest insect bat can hear  will be equal to the wavelength  of the sound the bat make.

\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda = \dfrac{343}{5.59\times 10^4}

\lambda = 6.136\times 10^{-3}}

λ = 6.136 mm

so, the smallest size of insect that bat can hear is equal to 6.136 mm

<h2>The smallest insect a bat can detect is of size 6.13 mm</h2>

Explanation:

Velocity = Wavelength x Frequency

v = fλ

Velocity of sound, v = 343 m/s

Frequency, f = 5.59 x 10⁴ Hz

Substituting

             343 =  Wavelength x 5.59 x 10⁴

             Wavelength = 6.13 x 10⁻³ m = 6.13 mm

A bat can detect small objects, such as an insect, whose size is approximately equal to one wavelength of the sound the bat makes.

The smallest insect a bat can detect is of size 6.13 mm

Multiply the following numbers, using scientific notation and the correct amount of significant digits. 1.003 m⋅3.09 = _____ 3.0
lozanna [386]

Answer

correct answer is 3.10

Explanation:

in this question we have to multiply  two numbers 1.003 and 3.09.

1.003 has 4 significant digits and 3.09 has 3 significant digits so answer must have 3 significant digits.

1.003\times 3.09=3.09927

1.003\times 3.09=3.10

As you move away from a positive charge distribution, the electric field:
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The electric field always decreases.

Explanation:

The electric field due to a point charge is given by :

E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}

Where

k = electric constant

q = charge

r = distance from the charge

It is clear from the above equation that as the distance from the charge particle increases the electric field decreases. As you move away from a positive charge distribution, the electric field always decreases. Hence, the correct option is (c) "Always decreases".

Star #1 is approaching the Earth with speed v. Star #2 is receding from the Earth with the same speed v. Measurements of the sam
leva [86]

Answer:

b. Both stars will have the same shift.

Explanation:

It's a very simple problem to solve. Star 1 is approaching toward Earth with a speed v, so let's assume that the change in Doppler Shift is +F and Star 2 is moving away so the change in Doppler shift is -F. But it's time to notice the speed of both stars and that is same but only directions are different. speed is the main factor here. The magnitude of both shifts is F as we can see and + and - are showing there direction of motion. So, because of same amount of speed, both stars will have same shift magnitude. (Just the directions are different)
