A research vessel is mapping the bottom of the ocean using sonar. It emits a short sound pulse called "ping" downward. The frequ

ency of the sound is 5920 Hz. In water sound propagates at a speed of 1485 m/s. The sound pulse is then reflected back from the bottom of the ocean and it is detected by the vessel 5.63 s after it was emitted. How deep is the ocean just below the vessel? Submit Answer Tries 0/12 What is the wavelength of this sound wave?

Answer:

d = 4180.3m

wavelengt of sound is 0.251m

Explanation:

Given that

frequency of the sound is 5920 Hz

v=1485m/s

t=5.63s

let d represent distance from the vessel to the ocean bottom.

an echo travels a distance equivalent to 2d, that is to and fro after it reflects from the obstacle.

velocity=\frac{distance}{time}\\\\ v=\frac{2d}{t} \\\\vt=2d\\\\d=\frac{vt}{2}

d=\frac{1485*5.63}{2}\\d= 4180.3m

wavelengt of sound is \lambda = v/f

= (1485)/(5920)

= 0.251 m

Two positive charges of 20 micro coulomb and 100 micro coulomb and the distance between them is 150cm.What will be the electrica
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

0.8 N

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

Formula:

F = kqq'/r²........................ Equation 1

Where F = Force of repulsion, k = coulomb's constant, q = first positive charge, q' = second positive charge, r = distance between the charge.

Given: q = 20 μC = 20×10⁻⁶ C, q' = 100 μC = 100×10⁻⁶ C, r = 150 cm = 1.5 m.

Constant:  k = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = (20×10⁻⁶ )( 100×10⁻⁶)(9×10⁹)/1.5²

F = 1800×10⁻³/2.25

F = 1.8/2.25

F = 0.8 N

Predict the energy transformation that occurs when carson sands a piece of wood with sandpaper.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Explanation:

The hand provides Kinetic Energy in moving.

The KE is transformed to Frictional energy

The Frictional Energy can produce heat and light energy.

The sandpaper produces little shreds from the grit of the paper.

The shreds have KE (they move)

Sphinxa [80]
<h2>Answer: Resonance </h2>

Resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when a body capable of vibrating is subjected to the action of a periodic force, whose frequency of vibration approaches the characteristic frequency of vibration (called resonance frequence) of said body. This is due a relatively small force applied in a repeated form, causing the amplitude of the oscillating system to become very large.

In other words, for the specific case of sound waves, this phenomenon occurs when the frequency of the  wave that is external to the system or body coincides with the resonance frequency (characteristic frequency that reaches the maximum degree of oscillation) of this system or body.

In these circumstances the body vibrates, progressively increasing the amplitude of movement after each successive actions of the force. However, this effect can be destructive in some rigid materials.
