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).

A chunk of metal has a volume of
Alla [95]

Answer:

7213.7kg/m³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of the metal chunk  = 0.131m³

Mass of the metal chunk  = 945kg

Unknown:

Density of the metal chunk  = ?

Solution :

To solve this problem, density is the mass per unit volume. It is mathematically expressed as;

  Density  = \frac{mass}{volume}  

 So;

 Density  = \frac{945}{0.131}   = 7213.7kg/m³

A typical laboratory centrifuge rotates at 4000 rpm. Testtubes have to be placed into a centrifuge very carefully because ofthe
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A)  a_c = 1.75 10⁴ m / s², B) a = 4.43 10³ m / s²

Explanation:

Part A) The relation of the test tube is centripetal

               a_c = v² / r

the angular and linear variables are related

              v = w r

we substitute

               a_c = w² r

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

              w = 4000 rpm (2pi rad / 1 rev) (1 min / 60s) = 418.88 rad / s

               r = 1 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 0.10 m

let's calculate

              a_c = 418.88² 0.1

               a_c = 1.75 10⁴ m / s²

part B) for this part let's use kinematics relations, let's start looking for the velocity just when we hit the floor

as part of rest the initial velocity is zero and on the floor the height is zero

                v² = v₀² - 2g (y- y₀)

                v² = 0 - 2 9.8 (0 + 1)

                v =√19.6

                v = -4.427 m / s

now let's look for the applied steel to stop the test tube

                v_f = v + a t

                0 = v + at

                a = -v / t

                a = 4.427 / 0.001

                a = 4.43 10³ m / s²
