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 = $\lambda$

Answer:

(a) $a=2m/sec^2$

(b) 5220 j

(d) 3446.66 watt

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 290 kg

Initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

Final velocity v = 6 m/sec

Time t = 3 sec

From first equation of motion

v = u+at

So $a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{6-0}{3}=2m/sec^2$

(a) We know that force is given by

F = ma

So force will be $F=290\times 2=580N$

(b) From second equation of motion we know that

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3+\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 3^2=9m$

We know that work done is given by

W = F s = 580×9 =5220 j

We know that power is given as

$P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{5220}{3}=1740Watt$

(d) Time t = 1.5 sec

So $P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{5220}{1.5}=3466.66Watt$

melamori03 [73]

Isotopes refer to different atoms of the same element (i.e. same number of protons) that differ in the number of neutrons they have (giving them different atomic weights). Atomic weight is the sum of protons and neutrons (each contributes 1 atomic mass unit).

Carbon has 6 protons by definition. If you have a carbon-13 atom (the 13 referring to its mass), the atom has 13 - 6 = 7 neutrons. Since it's neutral, protons = electrons, so there are also 6 electrons.

Sulfur has 16 protons by definition. If you have a sulfur-32 atom, the atom has 32 - 16 = 16 neutrons. Since it's neutral, protons = electrons, so there are also 16 electrons.
