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.

<h2>The different forces acting on the ball while its in air</h2>

Amy throws a softball through the air. Applied, drag and gravitational forces are acting on the ball while it’s in the air. The softball experiences force as a result of Amy’s throw. As the ball moves, it experiences from the air it passes through.

It also experiences a downward pull because earth has the property to attract everything which is on the earth towards it. The ball is moving in the air but earth applies force on the ball to get back on the ground. Hence, in this way, gravitational force applies.

There is also a drag force which results due to friction that is present in the air. It resist to move ball in the air and there will also be applied force which is given by a person who throws by applying force.

How original were Newton’s contributions to science? (In what ways did Newton depend on the mechanical view?)
kvasek [131]
Newton's new “reflecting telescope” was more powerful than ... Before Newton, scientists primarily adhered to ancient theories on ... laws of motion laid the groundwork for classical mechanics. Newton's research on motion helped give credibility to the heliocentric view. Newton also helped pioneer telescopic innovations, and he is sometimes credited with inventing the first reflecting telescope. He also conducted experiments using the prism, and developed a theory about the nature of color and light.
