Answer from: maru91

To test the hypothesis that elephants interpreted the ground signal as being farther away the air signal is to see how fast they react by high and low frequency sounds. This however can be done by creating two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. The reaction of the animal is then observed and via the first sound from one of them

Hypothesis

A hypothesis is an assumption, an idea that is proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be tested to see if it might be true.

In non-scientific use, hypothesis and theory are often used interchangeably.

Answer from: kaleahearly123

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

Explanation:

This hypothesis is based on the fact that the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m / s with a small variation with temperature.

The speed of sound in solid soil is an average of the speed of its constituent media, giving values between

wood 3900 m / s

concrete 4000 m / s

fabrics 1540 m / s

earth 5000 m / s wave S

ground 7000 m / s P wave

we can see that the speed on solid earth is an order of magnitude greater than in air.

From the initial information, the wave going through the ground should arrive first.

Two charged particles, q1 and q2, are located on the x-axis, with q1 at the origin and q2 initially at x1 = 12.2 mm. in this configuration, q1 exerts a repulsive force of 2.62 µn on q2. particle q2 is then moved to x2 = 18.0 mm. what is the force (magnitude and direction) that q2 exerts on q1 at this new location? (give the magnitude in µn.)
