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

Answer:

the pressure due to the water on the diver is 200,000 pascal

pressure = height × density × acceleration due to gravity

p = 20×1000×10

p=200,000 pascal

In boxing, the use of 16-ounce gloves rather than 12-ounce gloves reduces the chance of injury because the force is distributed
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Here we have assumed that increasing the mass of a glove will increase the surface area.

Injury is caused by the application of pressure at a point on the body. The application of pressure takes place via the area of the gloves. Pressure is given by

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

where

F = Force

A = Area to which the force is applied

So, a bigger glove will increase the surface area and reduce the pressure resulting in a lower chance of injury.

Hence, the statement is true.

What are the characteristics of Earth’s lithosphere and how does the lithosphere play a role in plate tectonics?
pashok25 [27]
The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below. Although the rocks of the lithosphere are still considered elastic, they are not viscous
