A sailor strikes the side of his ship just below the waterline. He hears the echo of the sound reflected from the ocean floor di

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

2625 m deep

Explanation:

Let the sound speed in sea water be 1500 m/s. If he hears the echo 3.5s after the strike, then the sound would have traveled a distance of 1500 * 3.5 = 5250 m to the bottom and back. This would mean the ocean is 5250 / 2 = 2625 m deep.

In a historical movie, two knights on horseback start from rest 86 m apart and ride directly toward each other to do battle. Sir

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Relative to Sir George's starting point, the knights collide at a distance of 38.43 m from Sir George's starting point.

Explanation:

Let the distance covered by Sir George be $S_{1}$

and the distance covered by Sir Alfred be $S_{2}$

Since the knights collide, hence they must have traveled for the same amount of time just before collision

From one of the equations of motion for linear motion

$S = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

Where $S$ is the distance traveled

$u$ is the initial velocity

$a$ is the acceleration

and $t$ is the time

For Sir George,

$S = S_{1}$

$u$ = 0 m/s (Since they start from rest)

$a =$ 0.21 m/s²

Hence,

$S = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ becomes

$S_{1} = (0)t + \frac{1}{2}(0.21)t^{2}\\S_{1} = 0.105 t^{2}\\$

$t^{2} = \frac{S_{1}}{0.105}$

Now, for Sir Alfred

$S = S_{2}$

$u$ = 0 m/s (Since they start from rest)

$a =$ 0.26 m/s²

Hence,

$S = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ becomes

$S_{2} = (0)t + \frac{1}{2}(0.26)t^{2}\\S_{2} = 0.13 t^{2}\\$

$t^{2} = \frac{S_{2}}{0.13}$

Since, they traveled for the same time, $t$ just before collision, we can write

$\frac{S_{1}}{0.105}= \frac{S_{2}}{0.13}$

Since, the two nights are 86 m apart, that is, the sum of the distances covered by the knights just before collision is 86 m. Then we can write that

$S_{1} + S_{2} = 86$ m

Then, $S_{2} = 86 - S_{1}$

Then,

$\frac{S_{1}}{0.105}= \frac{S_{2}}{0.13}$ becomes

$\frac{S_{1}}{0.105}= \frac{86 -S_{1}}{0.13}$

$0.13{S_{1}}= 0.105({86 -S_{1}})\\0.13{S_{1}}= 9.03 - 0.105S_{1}}\\0.13{S_{1}} + 0.105S_{1}}= 9.03 \\0.235{S_{1}} = 9.03\\{S_{1}} =\frac{9.03}{0.235}$

$S_{1} = 38.43$ m

∴ Sir George covered a distance of 38.43 m just before collision.

Hence, relative to Sir George's starting point, the knights collide at a distance of 38.43 m from Sir George's starting point.
