Humpback whales are known to produce a collection of elaborate and repeating sounds with frequencies starting at 20 Hz. The soun

jasenka [17]

Answer:

70 m.

Explanation:

Given,

Frequency, f = 20 HZ

speed of sound, v = 1400 m/s

wavelength of the waves = ?

we know,

v = f λ

$\lambda= \dfrac{v}{f}$

$\lambda= \dfrac{1400}{20}$

$\lambda=70\ m$

Hence, the wavelength of the wave is equal to 70 m.

The magnitude R, measured on the Richter scale, of an earthquake of intensity I is defined as Requalslog StartFraction Upper I

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

R = 6.8

Explanation:

Given data:

Richter scale $R = log(\frac{I}{I_o})$

where R - magnitude of earthquake of Richter scale

I - quake's intensity $= 10^{6.8} \times I_o$

$I_o$ - minimum intensity earthquake

Plugging all information in the equation to get Richter's scale

$R = log(\frac{10^{6.8} \times I_o}{I_o})$

$R = log(10^{6.8})$

R = 6.8

Radioactive isotopes of an atom are:

Len [333]

Radioactive isotopes of an atom aren't as stable as you would think, so the correct answer is: C. Less Stable

(I can verify this because I took the test.)

Hope this helps! Have a wonderfully wonderful day!

Cheers mate!
