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!

A 1. 0 μf capacitor is being charged by a 9. 0 v battery through a 10 mω resistor.
Advocard [28]

The potential across the capacitor at t = 1.0 seconds, 5.0 seconds, 20.0 seconds respectively is mathematically given as

  • t=0.476v
  • t=1.967v
  • V2=4.323v

<h3>What is the potential across the capacitor?</h3>

Question Parameters:

A 1. 0 μf capacitor is being charged by a 9. 0 v battery through a 10 mω resistor.

at

  • t = 1.0 seconds
  • 5.0 seconds
  • 20.0 seconds.

Generally, the equation for the Voltage is mathematically given as

v(t)=Vmax=(i-e^{-t/t})

Therefore

For t=1

V=5(i-e^{-1/10})

t=0.476v

For t=5s

V2=5(i-e^{-5/10})

t=1.967

For t=20s

V2=5(i-e^{-20/10})

V2=4.323v

Therefore, the values of voltages at the various times are

  • t=0.476v
  • t=1.967v
  • V2=4.323v

Answer:

D:   The side of Magnet A that's attracted to Magnet B's south pole must be Magnet A's north pole

Explanation:

D:  The side of Magnet A that's attracted to Magnet B's south pole must be Magnet A's north pole because

1) opposite poles attract each other

2) similar poles repel each other

3)magnetic lines of force start at the north pole and end at the south pole
