A dolphin is able to tell in the dark that the ultrasound echoes received from two sharks come from two different objects only i

f the sharks are separated by 3.60 meters, one being that much farther away than the other. (a) If the ultrasound has a frequency of 105 kHz, show this ability is not limited by its wavelength m < 3.50 m (b) If this ability is due to the dolphin's ability to detect the arrival times of echoes, what is the minimum time difference (in ms) the dolphin can perceive? ms

Answer:

a) Wavelength of the ultrasound wave = 0.0143 m <<< 3.5m, hence its ability is not limited by the ultrasound's wavelength.

b) Minimum time difference between the oscillations = Period of oscillation = 0.00952 ms

Explanation:

The frequency of the ultrasound wave = 105 KHz = 105000 Hz. The speed of ultrasound waves in water ≈ 1500 m/s. Wavelength = ?

v = fλ

λ = v/f = 1500/105000 = 0.0143 m <<< 3.5m

This value, 0.0143m is way less than the 3.5m presented in the question, hence, this ability is not limited by the ultrasound's wavelength.

b) Minimum time difference between the oscillations = The period of oscillation = 1/f = 1/105000 = 0.00000952s = 0.00952 ms

Hope this helps!

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

producing a path for current to flow

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • An AC generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy using the principle of electromagnetic induction.
  • <em><u>Slip rings are two hollow rings to which two ends of the armature coil are connected. These rings rotate with the rotation of the coil. They function to  to allow for electrical contact with the brushes.</u></em>
  • Slip rings therefore, provide a means for connecting the rotating armature to an external circuit.

A striped billiard ball moves toward the right with speed 3 m/s. A solid billiard ball with the same mass moves toward the left
Helen [10]

Answer:

Final speed of striped ball is 3 m/s in left direction .

Explanation:

Given :

Two billiard ball with the same mass moves toward the left at the same speed 3 m/s .

Let , us assume right hand side direction to be positive and left hand side direction to be negative .

Also , let speed of ball after collision is (striped ball ) u and (solid ball) v .

It is also given that the collision is elastic .

Therefore , kinetic energy is conserved .

\dfrac{m(3)^2}{2}+\dfrac{m(3)^2}{2}=\dfrac{mu^2}{2}+\dfrac{mv^2}{2}\\\\u^2+v^2=18 ...... ( 1 )

Also , by conserving linear momentum .

We get :

3m-3m=mu+mv\\u=-v                ...... ( 2 )

Putting value of u from equation 2 to equation 1 .

We get :

2v^2=18\\v=3\ m/s

And , u = -3 m/s .

Therefore , final speed of striped ball is 3 m/s in left direction .

Hence , this is the required solution .
