A sailor strikes the side of his ship just below the surface of the sea. He hears the echo of the wave reflected from the ocean

floor directly below 2.5 ss later.
How deep is the ocean at this point? (Note: Use the bulk modulus method to determine the speed of sound in this fluid, rather than using a tabluated value.)

Answer:

1248m

The time that wave moves from the wave source to the ocean floor is half the total travel time: t = 2.5/2 = 1.25s

The speed of sound in seawater is 1560 m/s

Therefore, s = vt = (1560 m/s)(1.25s) =1248 m = 1.2km

You spy on an anchor on the bottom of a lake. What is the direction and amount of force the water exerts on it: a) zero
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

c) up, less than the weight of the anchor

Explanation:

An object floats when the weight of the water the object displaces is equal to the weight of the object. In this case the weight of the anchor and the weight of the water it displaces is not the same so it sinks. Buoyancy is the force that acts on body when it is in water.

When buoyancy is less than the force that the object is generating due to gravity the object sinks. Buoyancy always acts up.

What is the magnitude of the force a 25 charge exerts on a 3 mc charge 35cm away?
lara31 [8.8K]
The electrostatic force between two charges is given by
F=k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where
ke is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the charges

In our problem, 
q_1 = 25 \mu C=25 \cdot 10^{-6} C
q_2 = 3 mC = 3 \cdot 10^{-3} C
r=35 cm=0.35 m
Therefore the electrostatic force is
F=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2}) \frac{(25 \cdot 10^{-6}C)(3 \cdot 10^{-3}C)}{(0.35 m)^2}= 5510 N

At the end of a delivery ramp, a skid pad exerts a constant force on a package so that the package comes to rest in a distance d
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

increases by a factor of \sqrt{2}

Explanation:

First we need to find the initial velocity for it to stop at the distance 2d using the following equation of motion:

v^2 - v_0^2 = 2a\Delta s

where v = 0 m/s is the final velocity of the package when it stops, v_0 is the initial velocity of the package when it, a is the deceleration, and \Delta s = d is the distance traveled.

So the equation above can be simplified and plug in Δs = d, v_0 = v_1 for the 1st case

-v_1^2 = 2ad(1)

For the 2nd scenario where the ramp is changed and distance becomes 2d, v_0 = v_2

-v_2^2 = 4ad(2)

let equation (2) divided by (1) we have:

\left(\frac{v_2}{v_1}\right)^2 = 4ad / 2ad = 2

v_2 / v_1 = \sqrt{2}

v_2 = \sqrt{2}v_1

So the initial speed increases by \sqrt{2}. If the deceleration a stays the same and time is the ratio of speed over acceleration a

t = v / a

The time would increase by a factor of \sqrt{2}

An experimental 1500-kg car travels at a constant speed of 22 m/s around a circular test track that is 80 m across. What is the
stepladder [879]

Answer:

363000 J or 363 kJ

Explanation:

Because the car is not rotating, it has no rotational kinetic energy. Its kinetic energy is then simply

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}\times1500\times22^2 = 363000 \text{ J}
