Although we can't hear them, the ultrasonic pulses are very loud. In order not to be deafened by the sound they emit, bats can temporarily turn off their hearing. Muscles in the ear cause the bones in their middle ear to separate slightly, so that they don't transmit vibrations to the inner ear. After an ultrasound pulse ends, a bat can hear an echo from an object a minimum of 1 m away. Approximately how much time after a pulse is emitted is the bat ready to hear its echo? A. 0.5 ms B. 1 ms C. 3 ms D. 6 ms
A man strikes one end of a thin rod with a hammer. The speed of sound in the rod is 19 times the speed of sound in air. A woman, at the other end with her ear close to the rod, hears the sound of the blow twice with a O.15 s interval between; one sound comes through the rod and the other comes through the air alongside the rod. If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, what is the length of the rod? Number i Units
Deep underwater, a sub moves through still water at a speed of 23 m/s. The sub sends out a 910 Hz sonar wave towards an underwater mountain. The wave reflects off the mountain and the sub detects the reflected wave. (The speed of sound in water is 1482 m/s.) Hint: this problem requires two parts. The sub is the source for the initial wave. The frequency does not change when the wave reflects from the mountain. For the reflected wave, the sub is the detector. What frequency does the sub detect for the reflected wave?
sound waves in air ( v = 343 m/s ) has a frequency of 320 Hz. In ocean water, its wavelength is 4.875 m. What is the speed of sound in seawater? 343 m/s 1005 m/s 1300 m/s 1440 m/s 1560 m/s
a medical imaging system sends a soundwave through a piece of bone. the speed of sound through bone is 3500 m/s. if it takes 275 microseconds for the sound wave to make a round trip back and forth across the bone, what is the thickness of the bone?
A cylinder completely filled with an unknown liquid has a radius of 1.50 cm, a length of 64.0 cm, and a mass of 357 g. An engineer performs an experiment to measure the speed of sound in the liquid. A small speaker emits a sound pulse at one end of the cylinder, which travels through the liquid and is detected by a microphone attached at the other end. The elapsed time between emission of the sound pulse and its detection by the microphone is measured by an electronic circuit to be 5.90 x 10-4 s. What the bulk modulus (in Pa) of the liquid in the cylinder? 3714 x What is the speed of sound in the material? How is it related to the bulk modulus and density of the material? What is the volume of a cylinder? Be careful with units in your calculations. Pa Need Help? Read It Submit Answer
30 m from an ultrasonic sensor. The total travel time of the ultrasonic wave is 33 ms (milliseconds). What is the speed of sound in these conditions?
You're using an ultrasonic sensor in the deep depths of the ocean to identify shipwrecks. However, you first need to calibrate your sensor for these conditions, as the speed of sound is unknown in the cold, high pressure conditions you are working in. You set up an experiment in a lab where you recreate the environmental conditions of the deep ocean and place an object 30 m from an ultrasonic sensor. The total travel time of the ultrasonic wave is 33 ms (milliseconds). What is the speed of sound in these conditions?

You are hiking along a trail in a wide, dry canyon where the outdoor temperature is T=28.5 degrees celsius. To determine how far you are away from the canyon wall you yell "hello" and hear the echo t=3.05s later. a) calculate the speed of sound in the valley in meters per second, assuming the speed at 0 degrees celsius is 332 m/s b) how far are you from the canyon wall, in meters? c) if you stood at the same point on a cold morning where the temperature was T2= -1.5 degrees C, how long would it have taken for you to hear the echo, in seconds?
