Horseshoe bats (genus Rhinolophus) emit sounds from their nostrils, then listen to the frequency of the sound reflected from the

ir prey to determine the prey's speed. (The "horseshoe" that gives the bat its name is a depression around the nostrils that acts like a focusing mirror, so that the bat emits sound in a narrow beam like a flashlight.) A Rhinolophus flying at speed vbat emits sound of frequency fbat; the sound it hears reflected from an insect flying toward it has a higher frequency frefl.If the bat emits a sound at a frequency of 80.7kHz and hears it reflected at a frequency of 83.1kHz while traveling at a speed of 4.3m/s , calculate the speed of the insect.Use 344m/s for the speed of sound in air. Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

This is the step by step explanation to the above question:

v_i = v [ f_L *(v - v_b) - f_s*(v + v_b)] / [f_L * (v - v_b) + f_s*(v +v_b)]

= v * (83.1 * (v-4.3) - 80.7 ( v+4.3))/ [83.1 *(v - 4.3) + 80.7*(v + 4.3)]

v = 344 m/s

vi = 344 * ( 83.1* (344-4.3) - 80.7*(344+4.3) ) / (83.1 *(344 - 4.3) + 80.7*(344 + 4.3))

= 0.74 m/s

What physical property causes liquids to not separate in a container?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

B) boiling point

Explanation:

The movement of the particles causes the shape of the liquid to change. The liquid will flow and fill to the lowest part of the container, in the shape of the container

But the volume does not change. The limited amount of space between the particles means that the liquid has only very limited compressibility.

On Earth, plasma exists in the ionosphere, in flames, and in chemical and nuclearexplosions. Matter in a controlled thermonuclea
nasty-shy [4]

The cost of developing thermonuclear power with plasmabe defended because D. It can provide an inexpensive power source.

<h3>How did the cost of developing thermonuclear power defended?</h3>

The  cost of developing thermonuclear power defended becvause we can see in the paragraph how it was told that the generation of ths power can be donee through the understanding of  the occurrence of plasmain nature,

It should be noted that this  thermonuclear power with plasmabe  posses the characteristics which make it to exist in the ionosphere, and it can be felt in the flames as well; as in the chemical and nuclearexplosions.

In conclusion the power can be seen as an inexpensive source power because the p[roduction of this power cn be found in most of the thing that can be found around us as discused above.

Therefore, option D is correct.
