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

What is the smallest insect a bat can detect? Assume that bats emit a chirp at a frequency of 47.6 kHz, and that the speed of sound in air is 413 m/s. Answer in units of mm.

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.

Answer:

12.5 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Height (h) = 8 m

Final velocity (v) at 8 m above the lowest point =?

NOTE: Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

The velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 8)

v² = 0 + 156.8

v² = 156.8

Take the square root of both side

v = √156.8

v = 12.5 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point is 12.5 m/s.

A 4,000 kg boat floats with one-third of its volume submerged. if two more people get into the boat, each of whom weighs 690 n,
AveGali [126]

 

The weightiness of the added water displaced is equivalent to the joined weight of the two extra people who come to be into the boat:


<span>m water g                   = 2 x 690 N</span>

<span>                                   = 1,380 N</span>

<span>
</span>

The mass of the water displace is then


<span>m water g                   = 1,380 N</span>

<span>                                   = 1,380 N / 9.8 m/s^2</span>

<span>                                   = 141 kg</span>

<span>
</span>

Compute the calculation for density for the volume of water displace and practice this outcome for the mass of the water displace to get the answer:


<span>p water                      = mass of water / volume of water</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>volume of water        = mass of water / p water</span>

<span>                                  = 141 kg / 1000 kg /m^3 eliminate kilogram</span>

<span>                                  = 0.14 m^3 the additional volume of water that is displaced</span>
