"The smallest insects that a bat can detect are approximately the size of one wavelength of the sound the bat makes. What is the

minimum frequency of sound waves required for a bat to detect an insect that is 0.0057 m long? (assume the speed of sound is 340 m/s.)"

Answer:

Frequency, f = 59.6 kHz

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of sound, v = 340 m/s

The bat can detect an insect that is 0.0057 m long, \lambda=0.0057\ m

We need to find the minimum frequency of sound waves required for a bat to detect an insect. The speed of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{340\ m/s}{0.0057\ m}\\\\f=59649.12\ Hz

or

f = 59.6 kHz

So, the frequency detected by the bat is 59.6 kHz.

frutty [35]

Answer:

1. Motion

2. Empty space

3. Far apart

4. Independently

5. Random or rapid

6. Collision

7. Kinetic energy

8. Atmospheric

9. 273 Kelvin or 0° Celsius

10. 1 atm, 101.3 kPa or 760 mmHg

Explanation:

In science, matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states.

Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct or classical phases and these are;

I. Gas.

II. Solid.

III. Liquid.

Filling the missing words or texts in the question, we have;

The kinetic theory describes the motion of particles in matter and the forces of attraction between them. The theory assumes that the volume occupied by a gas is mostly empty space, that the particles of gas are relatively far apart, move independently of each other, and are in constant random or rapid motion. The collision between particles are perfectly elastic so that the total kinetic energy remains constant. Gas pressure results from the simultaneous collisions of billions of particles with an object. Barometers are used to measure atmospheric pressure. Standard conditions are defined as a temperature of 273 Kelvin or 0° Celsius and a pressure of 1 atm, 101.3 kPa or 760 mmHg.

Describe the electron transfers that occur in the formation of calcium fluoride from elemental calcium and elemental fluorine.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Check explanation

Explanation:

In the formation of calcium fluoride we take calcium and fluorine.

in elemental form calcium exist in solid form and fluorine in gaseous form.

formation of compound takes place to complete their octet, in case of calcium  need to remove two electron and need to add one elecron in fluorine to complete their octet so two electron will ransferred from calcium to two fluorine atom.
