Answer:

20 Hz, 20000 Hz

0.0166 m, 16.6 m

Explanation:

The minimum frequency that a human ear can hear is 20 Hz

The maximum frequency that a human ear can hear is 20000 Hz.

v = Velocity of sound = 332 m/s

Wavelength is given by

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{332}{20}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=16.6\ \text{m}$

The longest wavelength that can be heard by the human ear is 16.6 m

$\lambda=\dfrac{332}{20000}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=0.0166\ \text{m}$

The shortest wavelength that can be heard by the human ear is 0.0166 m.

What subatomic particle acts like a mini-magnet?

Semenov [28]

The subatomic particles that acts like a mini-magnet is electron. Electrons are negatively charged sub atomic particles in an atom. The electron spin is a property of an electron that makes it behave like it's spinning; a spinning electron produces a magnetic field that makes it behave like a tiny magnet in an atom.

Europa, a satellite of Jupiter, is believed to have a liquid ocean of water (with a possibility of life) beneath its icy surface

Goryan [66]

Answer:

so maximum velocity for walk on the surface of europa is 0.950999 m/s

Explanation:

Given data

legs of length r = 0.68 m

diameter = 3100 km

mass = 4.8×10^22 kg

to find out

maximum velocity for walk on the surface of europa

solution

first we calculate radius that is

radius = d/2 = 3100 /2 = 1550 km

radius = 1550 × 10³ m

so we calculate no maximum velocity that is

max velocity = √(gr) ...............1

here r is length of leg

we know g = GM/r² from universal gravitational law

so G we know 6.67 × $10^{-11}$ N-m²/kg²

g = 6.67 × $10^{-11}$ ( 4.8×10^22 ) / ( 1550 × 10³ )

g = 1.33 m/s²

now

we put all value in equation 1

max velocity = √(1.33 × 0.68)

max velocity = 0.950999 m/s

so maximum velocity for walk on the surface of europa is 0.950999 m/s

If you were in charge of designing a wire to carry electricity across your city, state or province, which of

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Thin, aluminium and buried underground.

Explanation:

When it comes to electrification of a state or province, some characteristics of the wire to use must be considered. This would help to minimize and avoid power loss and wire burns.

i. The wire to use should be thin, and a quite number can be twisted one against the other so as to increase the surface area for heat dissipation.

ii. Aluminium wire is more preferable for this project. It has a high melting point, and reduces energy loss.

iii. Burying the wire underground through an insulator is the best choice, though expensive but would preserve the wire from external influence.

A 5.4 g lead bullet moving at 261 m/s strikes a steel plate and stops. If all its kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Change in temperature ∆(tita) is 266.097°C

Explanation:

Ok kinectic energy = 1/2MV²

5.4 grams =( 5.4/1000) kilogram

Kinectic energy =( 1/2 )*(5.4/1000)*261²

Kinectic energy = 183.9267 joules

If kinetic energy = thermal energy

183.9267 joules = mc∆(tita)

Where ∆(tita) = change in temperature

And c = 128 J/kg

∆(tita) = 183.9267/((5.4/1000)*128)

∆(tita) = 266.097

∆(tita) = 266.097°C
