Answer:

1. greater

2. direct

3. smaller

4. inverse

Explanation:

The speed of sound in water is greater than in air; hence for the same frequency the sound wavelength in water is <u>greater </u>than in air (for the given frequency the wavelength is in the <u>direct </u>proportion with the speed of sound).

To "see" an object via the echolocation creature needs to use sound with the wavelength <u>smaller </u>than the size of an object viewed.

That means to "see" objects of the same size dolphin and bat need to use ultrasound of the same wavelength, hence dolphin needs to use higher frequency (for the given speed of sound the wavelength is in <u>inverse </u>proportion with the frequency).

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: 4.17m

Explanation:

The observer at C will hear a sound on no sound upon whether the interference is constructive or destructive.

If the listeners hears sounds it is caled constructive interference but if he hears no sound its called destructive interference.

So

d2 - d1 = (n *lamba)/ 2

Where n=1,3,5

lamda=v/f =349/62.8

lamda=5.56m

d2= d1 + nlamda/2

d2= 1 + 5.56/2

d2= 3.78m

X'= 1 cos 60= 0.5m

Y= 1 sin60= 0.866m

X"^2 + Y^2 =d2^2

X" =√(y^2 - d2^2)

X"=√(3.78^2 - 0.886^2)

X"= 3.67m

So therefore the closest that speaker A can be to speaker B so the listener does not hear any sound is X' + X"= 0.5 + 3.67

Sam wants to get a refrigerator into a moving truck. He chooses to use a ramp to accomplish the task that is 25 meters long. If
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ignoring friction and assuming one ramp end rests on level ground.

gravity acceleration acting parallel to the ramp is gsinθ.

F = mgsinθ

mg = 250 N,  sinθ = 3/25

F = 250(3/25)

F = 30 N

A 25 meter long ramp strong enough to hold a person plus a 250 N refrigerator would weigh much more than 250 N.

Decreased sensitivity to an unchanging stimulus is known as
WARRIOR [948]
<h2>Answer: Sensory adaptation</h2>

Explanation:

Sensory adaptation refers to the adjustment of the sensory capacity of a person following prolonged exposure to stimuli.

To better understand this, it is necessary to explain that environmental stimuli cause a change in the sensitivity of a person's sensory receptors. Then, depending on the type of environmental stimulus, the determined receptor will be stimulated (related to the five main senses of the human being: sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing).

However, when a person gets used to a stimulus, adaptation occurs. Therefore, <u>it will not respond to the stimulus in the same way as it did before. </u>

A very common example is the relation with the smells (olfactory sense), because people get used quickly to the smells that surround them and then they stop "perceiving" the smell.

Two plastic projectiles have the same mass M and speed V when they hit a glass window pane at a right angle. The interaction bet
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

b. Projectiles A & B have the same likelihood of breaking the glass since they have the same initial momentum

.

c. Projectile A has the greater likelihood of breaking the glass since its momentum change is larger.

Explanation:

for option b, the two projectiles have the same initial mass and velocity, hence they posses the same amount of momentum that if sufficient enough could break the glass.

for option c, projectile A changes direction, maintaining the same speed v. Its momentum changes from from mv to -mv, since its speed changed direction.

the difference in momentum becomes

Δp = -mv - mv = -2mv

this is twice the initial momentum.

projectile B changes momentum from mv to 0

Δp = 0 - mv = -mv.

this is half of the final momentum of projectile A.

Also we know that force is proportional to to the rate of change of momentum, which is greater in projectile A, therefore projectile A impacts more force on the glass. Projectile A therefore has the greater likelihood of breaking the glass since its momentum change is larger.
