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.

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 = $\lambda$

A piece of wood 400N in weight and 50cm X 30cm X 20cm in size lies on 50cm X 20cm face. Calculate the pressure exerted by it.

Serga [27]

Answer:

P = 4000 [Pa]

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the relationship between Force and the area where the body rests.

The support area is equal to:

$A=50*20=1000[cm^{2} ]$

But we must convert from square centimeters to square meters.

$1000[cm^{2}]*\frac{1^{2}m^{2} }{100^{2}m^{2} }=0.1[m^{2} ]$

And the pressure is:

$P=\frac{F}{A} \\P=400/0.1\\P=4000[N/m^{2} ]or 4000[Pa]$

In any problems involving circular motion, which way does the tangential speed vector point?

Anton [14]

In what may be one of the most remarkable coincidences in
all of physical science, the tangential component of circular
motion points along the tangent to the circle at every point.

The object on a circular path is moving in that exact direction
at the instant when it is located at that point in the circle. The
centripetal force ... pointing toward the center of the circle ...
is the force that bends the path of the object away from a straight
line, toward the next point on the circle. If the centripetal force
were to suddenly disappear, the object would continue moving
from that point in a straight line, along the tangent and away from
the circle.

Newton observed the action of a prism on the white light and on red light. Because he did not control the event, this investigation of light was an observational study.

Hope this helps! (:
