ultrasonic wave is a type of sound wave. speed of sound in air at room temp is 343m/s.

speed = wavelength * frequency

wavelength = speed / frequency = 343/4*10^4

= 0.00858m

= 8.58mm

Remark

You have to pick a velocity for an ultra sound wave. I'm going to take the sound velocity to be 331 m/s in air, because I'm assuming that is what is meant: it is the sound a bat would make once he emits the ultrasound to a microphone like device that receives it. The media through which that happens is air.

v = 331m/s

f = 4 *10^4 hz

Formula

velocity = wavelength * frequency

v = $\lambda$ *f

331/(4*10^4) = $\lambda$

0.008275 = $\lambda$

8.275*10^-3 = $\lambda$

An object that weighs 2.450 N is attached to an ideal massless spring and undergoes simple harmonic oscillations with a period o

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Spring constant, k = 24.1 N/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the object, W = 2.45 N

Time period of oscillation of simple harmonic motion, T = 0.64 s

To find,

Spring constant of the spring.

Solution,

In case of simple harmonic motion, the time period of oscillation is given by :

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}$

m is the mass of object

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{2.45}{9.8}$

m = 0.25 kg

$k=\dfrac{4\pi^2m}{T^2}$

$k=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times 0.25}{(0.64)^2}$

k = 24.09 N/m

k = 24.11 N/m

So, the spring constant of the spring is 24.1 N/m.

Alja [10]

Answer:

buoyant force on the block due to the water= 10 N

Explanation:

We know that

buoyant force(F_B) on a block= weight of the block in air (actual weight) - weight of block in water.

Given:

A block of metal weighs 40 N in air and 30 N in water.

F_B = 40-30= 10 N

therefore, buoyant force on the block due to the water= 10 N

When two objects are in contact, moving together, which of the following statements must be true? Choose all that apply. When tw

Setler [38]

Answer:

The objects must have the same acceleration and the objects must exert the same magnitude force on each other.

Explanation:

The objects must have the same weight: FALSE. This is not needed, any two object can move together in contact no matter their mass.

The objects must have the same acceleration: TRUE. If they have different accelerations, they will separate since the distance each of them travel at a given time will be different.

The objects must have the same net force acting on them: FALSE. This is not needed, since what matters is acceleration, and a=F/m, so if both objects have different net force acting on them, they could have different masses also to compensate and result in the same acceleration.

The objects must exert the same magnitude force on each other: TRUE, this is the 3rd Newton Law, an action must follow the same reaction.
