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

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

x=0.154kg

Explanation:

(x*L)+(0.5kg*4200*50)+(x*4200*(-50)=0

(x*333 000J/kg*c)+(0.5kg*4200J/kg*C*(-40C))+(x*4200J/kg*C*50C)=0

Sanitation can be accomplished by all of the means except
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Air drying

Explanation:

Sanitation is the set of measures that aims to preserve or modify the conditions of the environment in order to prevent diseases and promote health, improve the quality of life of the population and the productivity of the individual and facilitate economic activity. Basic sanitation is a right guaranteed by the Constitution as the set of services, infrastructure and operational installations for water supply, sanitary sewage, urban cleaning, urban drainage, solid waste and rainwater management.

Sanitation can be carried out in several ways, except for dry air, as this would damage the quality of sanitation and the environment.

Sanitation is important in treated water, sewage collection and treatment services lead to an improvement in the quality of people's lives, especially in child health, with a reduction in child mortality, improvements in education, in the expansion of tourism, in the valuation of properties, in income of the worker, in the cleaning of rivers and preservation of water resources, etc.

Your classmate says that if all the molecules in a particular liquid had the same speed, and some were able to evaporate, the re
babymother [125]
The molecules which evaporate presumably take heat away from the liquid. So, I'd disagree with the classmate. Whether the amount of cooling would differ from the usual case wherein the molecules have different speeds is another question. 
I guess the argument goes something along the lines of that the faster moving and therefore most kinetically energetic molecues evaporate and take away most heat. But if there's no faster moving molecules, 'cos they all have the same speed well, then presumably they'd all take away the same amount of heat. So, maybe the cooling would be less. No cooling though ??? Hmmmm dunno .... i think not ....

The power rating of an electric lawn mower is 2000 watts if lawnmower is used for 120 seconds how many joules of work van it do
Scorpion4ik [409]
1 watt = 1 joule/sec

2,000 watts = 2,000 joules/sec

                     (2,000 joule/sec) x (120 sec)

                  = (2,000 x 120)  (joule-sec/sec)

                  =   240,000 joules .
