Bearing in mind that a sound reflects off an object if the object is larger than the wavelength of the sound, calculate the wave

length of a sound in the air for a sound in the middle of the human hearing range. Then calculate the wavelength for a sound in the middle of the bat hearing range. If you had to use echolocation to detect an insect, which sound has an advantage

Answer:

mucilage can detect objects the size of millimeters, whereas humans can only detect objects larger than centimeters

Explanation:

The human ear can detect sound in the range of 20 to 20000hz, we are asked to find the mid-range wavelength of the ear at f = 10000 Hz

let's use the relationship between wave speed, wavelength and frequency

           v = λ f

           λ= v / f

           λ = 343/10000

           λ = 3.43 10⁻² m

the sound range of a bat is between 25 10³ Hz and 100 10³ Hz, they also ask for the wavelength in the middle range

         

          f = (100 10³ + 25 10³) / 2

          f = 62.5 10³ Hz

          λ = 343 / 62.5 10³

          λ = 5.5 10⁻³ m

Therefore the size of the object that a bat can detect is much smaller than the size that a human can detect, therefore the bat is capable of detecting insects, but humans.

The mucilage can detect objects the size of millimeters, whereas humans can only detect objects larger than centimeters

Which change will always result in an increase in the gravitational force between two objects? increasing the masses of the obje
abruzzese [7]

By definition, we have that the gravitational force is given by:

F = \frac{G * m1 * m2}{r ^ 2}

Where,

G: gravitational constant

m1: mass of object number 1

m2: mass of object number 2

r: distance between both objects.

Therefore, for the gravitational force to increase, the following conditions must be met:

1) Increase the mass of the objects so that the numerator of the equation is greater.

2) Decrease the distance between the objects so that the denominator of the equation is smaller.

Answer:

A change that will always result in an increase in the gravitational force between two objects is:

increasing the masses of the objects and decreasing the distance between the objects

Pachacha [2.7K]

If two people hit identical tennis balls at the same time, the ball that has the most kinetic energy is the ball that moves at the fastest speed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion is called its kinetic energy indicating that only moving objects have kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of an object depends on its speed and mass.

It is given by the expression

K=1/2 mv^2

where m denotes the mass of the object and v denotes its velocity.

since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity, the kinetic energy of an object increases with its velocity.

Hence an object that moves at the fastest speed will have the most kinetic energy.

Calculate the centripetal force acting on a 925 kg car as it rounds an unbanked curve with a radius of 75 m at a speed of 22 m/s
igomit [66]
Since f=m(v^2/r),or fnet is equal to ma.

force = unknown
velocity=22m/s
radius=75m


f=m(v^2/r)
f=925(22^2/75)
f=5969.333N
