ultrasonic wave is a type of sound wave. speed of sound in air at room temp is 343m/s.

speed = wavelength * frequency

wavelength = speed / frequency = 343/4*10^4

= 0.00858m

= 8.58mm

Remark

You have to pick a velocity for an ultra sound wave. I'm going to take the sound velocity to be 331 m/s in air, because I'm assuming that is what is meant: it is the sound a bat would make once he emits the ultrasound to a microphone like device that receives it. The media through which that happens is air.

Givens

v = 331m/s

f = 4 *10^4 hz

Formula

velocity = wavelength * frequency

v = \lambda*f

331/(4*10^4) =  \lambda

0.008275 =  \lambda

8.275*10^-3 =  \lambda

What is the approximate terminal velocity of a sky diver before the parachute opens
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The approximate terminal velocity of a sky diver before the parachute opens is 320 km/h.

Explanation:

  • The terminal velocity is the maximum magnitude of velocity that is attained by the diver when he or she falls in the air.
  • The terminal velocity of the person diving in air before opening parachute is 320 km/h that means the velocity when the person is experiencing free fall is 320 km/h.
  • During terminal velocity, we can represent mathematical equation as;

                           Buoyancy force + drag force = Gravity

If you run at an average speed of 10mi/h how long will it take for you to run 2.5miles
givi [52]

Answer:

If the avg speed is 10mi/h and you want to know how long it will take to run 2.5mi/h you put that as a ratio 2.5/10 which is 1/4 of an hour so it will take 15 minutes to run 2.5 miles
