A submarine is 58.8 m from a whale. The sub sends out a sonar ping to locate the whale. The speed of sound underwater is 1520 m/

s. How much time does it take for the sound wave to travel to the whale and back? (Unit = s)

Answer:

0.08

Explanation:

this problem assume that both of whale and submarine are in rest position or in constant linier motion in same direction and same speed.

The sound will travel from Submarine to the whale and back again to submarine. so the time will be like this

t = 2d/v

t = 2*58.8/1520

t = 117.6/1520

t = 0.077368 s

t ≈ 0.08 s (less then 1 s)

Explain why nuclear fission and nuclear fusion release large amounts of energy
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Because of the formula E=mc^2

Explanation:

In this problem we are describing two different processes:

  • Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy, unstable nucleus breaks apart into two or more lighter nuclei
  • Nuclear fusion occurs when two (or more) light nuclei fuse together producing a heavier nucleus

In both cases, the total mass of the final products is smaller than the total mass of the initial nuclei.

According to Einsten's formula, this mass difference has been converted into energy, as follows:

E=\Delta mc^2

where:

E is the energy released in the reaction

\Delta m is the mass defect, the difference between the final total mass and the initial total mass

c=3.0 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

From the formula, we see that the factor c^2 is a very large number, therefore even if the mass defect \Delta m is very small, nuclear fusion and nuclear fission release huge amounts of energy.

A force acts on a 5kg object at rest. How fast will the object accelerate on a frictionless surface?
MakcuM [25]

Answer: The answer is C.) 25 m/s^2.

Explanation: If you input 5 as s, you would have to use the exponent 2.  This means that you have to multiply 5 by 5.  5 x 5= 25.  

Edit: Also, because the surface is frictionless, it will make the object go faster too.  Nothing can really slow it down unless something blocks it.

A pendulum is swinging back and forth with a period of 2.0 seconds here on Earth. This pendulum is then brought to the Moon. Wha
LenKa [72]

Answer: The period of the pendulum will increase. Because of less gravity

Explanation:

Since the force of gravity is less on the Moon, the pendulum  would swing slower at the same length and angle and its frequency would be less. Hence more time period will be experienced by the pendulum. On the moon, the acceleration due to gravity g is less when compared to that of the earth.
