Each bat can produce different frequencies of ultrasound. Explain why this is useful if there are many bats hunting together.

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: Although low frequency sound travels further than high-frequency sound, calls at higher frequencies give the bats more detailed information--such as size, range, position, speed and direction of a prey's flight. Thus, these sounds are used more often.

balls a, with a mass of 20 kg, is moving to the right at 20 m/s. At what velocity should Ball B, with a mass of 40 kg, move so t

Leya [2.2K]

In that case, their momentum must be equal.
So, m1v1 = m2v2
20 * 20 = 40 * v2
v2 = 400 / 40
v2 = 10

In short, Your Answer would be: 10 m/s

Hope this helps!

A spring has a force constant k, and an object of mass m is suspended from it. The spring is cut in half and the same object is

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

$f2/f1 = \sqrt{2}$

Explanation:

From frequency of oscillation

$f = 1/2pi *\sqrt{k/m}$

Initially with the suspended string, the above equation is correct for the relation, hence

$f1 = 1/2pi *\sqrt{k/m}$

where k is force constant and m is the mass

When the spring is cut into half, by physics, the force constant will be doubled as they are inversely proportional

$f2 = 1/2pi *\sqrt{2k/m}$

Employing f2/ f1, we have

$f2/f1 = \sqrt{2}$

A spring with spring constant 33N/m is attached to the ceiling, and a 4.8-cm-diameter, 1.5kg metal cylinder is attached to its l

mylen [45]

Answer:

0.423m

Explanation:

Conversion to metric unit

d = 4.8 cm = 0.048m

Let water density be $\who_w = 1000 kg/m^3$

Let gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s2

Let x (m) be the length that the spring is stretched in equilibrium, x is also the length of the cylinder that is submerged in water since originally at a non-stretching position, the cylinder barely touches the water surface.

Now that the system is in equilibrium, the spring force and buoyancy force must equal to the gravity force of the cylinder. We have the following force equation:

$F_s + F_b = W$

Where $F_s = kx$ N is the spring force, $F_b = W_w = m_wg = \rho_w V_s g$ is the buoyancy force, which equals to the weight $W_w$ of the water displaced by the submerged portion of the cylinder, which is the product of water density $\rho_w$ , submerged volume $V_s$ and gravitational constant g. W = mg is the weight of the metal cylinder.

$kx + \rho_w V_s g = mg$

The submerged volume would be the product of cross-section area and the submerged length x

$V_s = Ax = \pi(d/2)^2x$

Plug that into our force equation and we have

$kx + \rho_w \pi(d/2)^2x g = mg$

$x(k + \rho_w g \pi d^2/4) = mg$

$x = \frac{m}{(k/g) + (\rho_w\pi d^2/4)} = \frac{1.5}{(33/9.8) + (100*\pi * 0.048^2/4)} = 0.423 m$

Two spaceships that have different masses but rocket engines of identical force are at rest in space. if they fire their rockets

NISA [10]

Force is calculated F=m×a.
If both ships speed up with the same force, but have a different mass, This means that a also has to be different. If F is the same but ship a has a bigger mass(m) than ship b, then the acceleration(a) of ship b has to be bigger so F of each ship is the same. So the ship with the smaller mass will speed up faster.
