How could you test the hypothesis that elephants interpreted the ground signal as being farther away than the air signal?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

Explanation:

This hypothesis is based on the fact that the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m / s with a small variation with temperature.

The speed of sound in solid soil is an average of the speed of its constituent media, giving values ​​between

 wood      3900 m / s

 concrete 4000 m / s

 fabrics     1540 m / s

 earth       5000 m / s wave S

 ground    7000 m / s P wave

 

we can see that the speed on solid earth is an order of magnitude greater than in air.

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

From the initial information, the wave going through the ground should arrive first.

A compact car has a maximum acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 when it carries only the driver and has a total mass of 1100 kg . you may w
nadya68 [22]

According to Newton`s  law. Force exerted by car,

F = m a = 1100 kg \times 2 m/s^2 = 2200 \ N

After adding an additional 400 kg of mass, the force will be same therefore the acceleration

F = 2200 \ N = (1100 \ kg + 400 \ kg)  a \\\\ a = \frac{2200 \ N}{1500 \ kg} = 1.47 \ m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration after adding the masses is 1.47 \ m/s^2.

A cricket starts at the 5 meter mark on a ruler. It jumps to the 10 meter mark. Then, it jumps back to the 6 meter mark. Calcula
belka [17]

We have that the cricket’s displacement is  

D_t=9meters

From the Question we are told that

Start position  5 meter mark

It jumps to the 10 meter mark.

it jumps back to the 6 meter mark.

Generally the equation for cricket’s displacement. is mathematically given as

D_t=Initial +final(displacement)\\\\D_t=(10-5)+(10-6)

D_t=9meters

For questions A, B, C, and D. Determine if the Kinetic Energy will increase, decrease or stay the same based on the directions o
yuradex [85]

Explanation:

KE = 1/2*m*v^2

mass won't change

but velocity is

A: the force is pushing against the direction of the object, so velocity is decreasing, so KE is decreasing

B: the F net line is pretty much straight up, which means there is no net force pushing to the left, but velocity is still increasing

Why? Because if you use the pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse is always longer than the legs.

Note: velocity only ever stays the same if there is no net force (or 0 acceleration), so all four of these are either decreasing or increasing

C: there is a net force to the right, so velocity is increasing

D: There is a net force to the right but velocity is to the left, so velocity is decreasing

Hope I got these right

Stream systems that have a low sediment load and low velocity and flow over unconsolidated sediments form _____________ stream c
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Meandering

Explanation:

A meander is known as the continuous flow of regular curves which are sinuous, loops, turns, bends or winding in the channel of river

Production of a meander by a river or stream  as it erodes the sediments comprising on an exterior, a concave bank and deposits it and other sediment on the downstream on an interior, convex bank which is like a point bar.

Rivers or streams  with a one channel and sinuosities of 1.6 or more are defined as meandering rivers or streams.
