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).

wo lacrosse players collide in midair. Jeremy has a mass of 120 kg and is moving at a speed of 3 m/s. Hans has a mass of 140 kg
Julli [10]

2.71 m/s fast Hans is moving after the collision.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that,

Mass of Jeremy is 120 kg (M_J)

Speed of Jeremy is 3 m/s (V_J)

Speed of Jeremy after collision is (V_{JA}) -2.5 m/s

Mass of Hans is 140 kg (M_H)

Speed of Hans is -2 m/s (V_H)

Speed of Hans after collision is (V_{HA})

Linear momentum is defined as “mass time’s speed of the vehicle”. Linear momentum before the collision of Jeremy and Hans is  

= =\mathrm{M}_{1} \times \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{J}}+\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{H}} \times \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{H}}

Substitute the given values,

= 120 × 3 + 140 × (-2)

= 360 + (-280)

= 80 kg m/s

Linear momentum after the collision of Jeremy and Hans is  

= =\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{J}} \times \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{JA}}+\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{H}} \times \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{HA}}

= 120 × (-2.5) + 140 × V_{HA}

= -300 + 140 × V_{HA}

We know that conservation of liner momentum,

Linear momentum before the collision = Linear momentum after the collision

80 = -300 + 140 × V_{HA}

80 + 300 = 140 × V_{HA}

380 = 140 × V_{HA}

380/140= V_{HA}

V_{HA} = 2.71 m/s

2.71 m/s fast Hans is moving after the collision.
