A bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes.

What is the smallest insect a bat can detect? Assume that bats emit a chirp at a frequency of 33.3 kHz, and that the speed of sound in air is 536 m/s. Answer in units of mm.

Answer:

size of insect = wavelength = 16.1 mm

Explanation:

Since the bat can detect the size of small insects which are of size equal to the wavelength of sound in air

So here we can say that the wavelength of sound is the ratio of speed of sound and its frequency

here we know that

speed of sound in air is 536 m/s

frequency of sound is 33.3 kHz

so here we can say

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

\lambda = \frac{536}{33.3 \times 10^3}

\lambda = 0.0161 m

\lambda = 16.1 mm

Explanation
During the day when temperatures are higher, the snow melts and water enters the cracks in the rock. When the temperature drops below 0°C the water in the crack freezes and expands by about 9 per cent. This makes the crack larger.

A football is kicked from the ground with a velocity of 38m/s at an angle of 40 degrees and eventually lands at the same height.
Anastasy [175]

Initially, the velocity vector is \langle 38cos(40^{\circ}),38sin(40^{\circ}) \rangle=\langle 29.110, 24.426 \rangle. At the same height, the x-value of the vector will be the same, and the y-value will be opposite (assuming no air resistance). Assuming perfect reflection off the ground, the velocity vector is the same. After 0.2 seconds at 9.8 seconds, the y-value has decreased by 4.9(0.2)^2, so the velocity is \langle 29.110, 24.426-0.196 \rangle = \langle 29.110, 24.23 \rangle.

Converting back to direction and magnitude, we get \langle r,\theta \rangle=\langle \sqrt{29.11^2+24.23^2},tan^{-1}(\frac{29.11}{24.23}) \rangle = \langle 37.87,50.2^{\circ}\rangle

Compare and contrast electric conductors and electric insulators. Give an example of each.
ludmilkaskok [199]
An example of conductors of heat would be iron pans. a example of electric insulators would be copper, gold and silver. to contrast conductors and insulators, insulators let electricity pass through them while conductors restricts electricity. both conductors and insulators can work with lithium and sodium.
