Sonar is a device that uses reflected sound waves to measure underwater depths. If a sonar signal has a wavelength of 5.9 m and

the velocity of sound in water is 15 m/s, what is the frequency of the signal?

The frequency of the signal is = 2.5 Hz

<h3>Calculation of frequency</h3>

The wavelength of the sonar device = 5.9 m

The velocity of the sound = 15 m/s

The frequency = ?

But the formula for the velocity of sound wave = frequency × wavelength

Male frequency the subject of formula,

f = v/ wavelength

f = 15/5.9

f = 2.5Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the signal is = 2.5Hz

A rod 150 cm long and of diameter 2.0 cm is subjected to an axial pull of 20 kn. if the modulus of elasticity of the material of
Scilla [17]
Given:
rod of circular cross section is subjected to uniaxial tension.
Length, L=1500 mm
radius, r = 10 mm
E=2*10^5 N/mm^2
Force, F=20 kN = 20,000 N
[note: newton (unit) in abbreviation is written in upper case, as in  N ]

From given above, area of cross section = &pi; r^2 = 100 &pi; =314 mm^2
(i) Stress,
&sigma;
=force/area
= 20000 N / 314 mm^2
= 6366.2 N/mm^2
= 6370 N/mm^2 (to 3 significant figures)

(ii) Strain
&epsilon;
= ratio of extension / original length
= &sigma; / E
= 6366.2 /(2*10^5)
= 0.03183 
= 0.0318 (to three significant figures)

(iii) elongation
= &epsilon; * L
= 0.03183*1500 mm
= 47.746 mm
= 47.7 mm  (to three significant figures)

A machinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, which is at rest at time t = 0.00 s. The wheel accelerates uniformly for 10
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Time interval;Δt ≈ 37 seconds

Explanation:

We are given;

Angular deceleration;α = -1.6 rad/s²

Initial angular velocity;ω_i = 59 rad/s

Final angular velocity;ω_f = 0 rad/s

Now, the formula to calculate the acceleration would be gotten from;

α = Change in angular velocity/time interval

Thus; α = Δω/Δt = (ω_f - ω_i)/Δt

So, α = (ω_f - ω_i)/Δt

Making Δt the subject, we have;

Δt = (ω_f - ω_i)/α

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

Δt = (0 - 59)/(-1.6)

Δt = -59/-1.6

Δt = 36.875 seconds ≈ 37 seconds

Select the correct answer. Physics is explicitly involved in studying which of these activities? A. the mixing of metals to form
geniusboy [140]

Answer:  C. the motion of a spacecraft under gravitational influence.

Explanation:

A is Metallurgy, B is Biology, C is astro-physics, I am not sure what D is, but it's   safe to say it's not physics, E, micro-biology, and the study of radiation. C is the only one involving physics.

A boat has a mass of 6800 kg. Its engines generate a drive force of 4100 N due west, while the wind exerts a force of 800 N due
mezya [45]

Answer:

The boat's acceleration are:  a= 0.3 m/s² in west direction.

Explanation:

Fm= 4100 N

Fwi= 800 N

Fwa= 1200 N

Fm - Fwi - Fwa= m *a

clearing a:

a= 0.3 m/s²
