A bat emits a 40 kHz chirp to locate flying insects. If the speed of sound is 340 m/s and a bat hears the echo from the moth after 0.6 seconds, then how far away is the moth?

102 m

Explanation:

The time 0.6 sec is the time it took for the sound to travel from the bat to the moth and back. So it took 0.3 sec for the sound to reach the moth. From the definition of speed, the distance of the moth d to the bat is given by

v = d/t ---> d = vt = (340 m/s)(0.3 sec) = 102 m

explanation:

earth's surface is mainly heated by the absorption of infrared radiation from the sun.

evaporation occurs because molecules in liquid water are warmed ( usually by the sun) and vibrate quicker, becoming less dense and rise.

condensation occurs because molecules in water vapor are cooled and therefore vibrate more slowly thus becoming more dense and eventually fall to earth.

lines of equal barometric pressure on a weather map are called: isobars : lines of equal temp on a weather map are called: isotherms.​
