A bat emitts a sonar sound wave (343 m/s) that bounces off a mosquito 8.42 m away
Varvara68 [4.7K]

The time lapse between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Velocity of sound (v) = 343 m/s

Distance (x) = 8.42 m

Time (t) =?

We can obtain obtained the time as illustrated below:

v = 2x / t

343 = 2 × 8.42 / t

343 = 16.84 / t

Cross multiply

343 ×  t = 16.84

Divide both side by 343

t = 16.84/343

t = 0.05 s

Thus, the time between  when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.

<h3>How does a bat know how far away something is?</h3>

A bat emits a sound wave and carefully listens to the echoes that return to it. The returning information is processed by the bat's brain in the same way that we processed our shouting sound with a stopwatch and calculator. The bat's brain determines the distance of an object by measuring how long it takes for a noise to return.

Consider eight,eight-cubic centimeter (8 cm3) sugar cubes stacked so that they form a single 2 x 2 x 2 cube. How does the surfac
In-s [12.5K]
To find the surface area of a single cube we first nees to take the cube root of 8cm3 which is 2.

Now we know that the length of each side is 2 and we can find the area of one side by doing 2x2 which is 4.

To find the total surface area of one cube we do 4 times 6 side giving us a total of 24cm2.

To find the total surface area of the 8 individual cubes, we multiply 24cm2 by 8 to give us a total of 192cm2.

Now to find the total surface area of the one large cube, we know that each side of one of the small cubes is 4cm2 and the large cube is set up so that there are two levels of four cubes right on top of each other. So, the total area of each side of the large cube is 4cm2 times 4 which gives us 16cm2.

Then we multiply 16cm2 by 6 sides to give us a total surface area of 96cm2.

The ratio of the surface area of the single large cube comapred to the total surface area of the single cubes is 96:192

We can further simplify this ratio:

96:192

48:96

24:48

12:24

12345 [234]

Answer:

6.49 x 10^-8 N

Explanation:

formula is

F= G * ((m1 * m2)/r^2)

F = 6.67x10^-11 * ((6.8*6.8/.218)

F = 6.49 x 10^-8 Newtons

If stellar parallax can be measured to a precision of about 0.01 arcsec using telescopes on the Earth to observe stars, to what
marin [14]

Answer:

It corresponds to a distance of 100 parsecs away from Earth.

Explanation:

The angle due to the change in position of a nearby object against the background stars it is known as parallax.

It is defined in a analytic way as it follows:

       

\tan{p} = \frac{1AU}{d}

Where d is the distance to the star.

p('') = \frac{1}{d} (1)  

Equation (1) can be rewritten in terms of d:

d(pc) = \frac{1}{p('')} (2)

Equation (2) represents the distance in a unit known as parsec (pc).

The parallax angle can be used to find out the distance by means of triangulation. Making a triangle between the nearby star, the Sun and the Earth (as is shown in the image below), knowing that the distance between the Earth and the Sun (150000000 Km), is defined as 1 astronomical unit (1AU).

For the case of   (p('') = 0.01):

d(pc) = \frac{1}{0.01}

d(pc) = 100

Hence, it corresponds to a distance of 100 parsecs away from Earth.

<em>Summary:</em>

Notice how a small parallax angle means that the object is farther away.

Key terms:

Parsec: Parallax of arc second
