Calcula el valor de la velocidad de las ondas sonoras en el agua sabiendo que su
dybincka [34]
  1. La velocidad de las ondas sonoras es aproximadamente 1469,694 metros por segundo.
  2. La longitud de onda de las ondas sonoras es 1,470 metros.

1) Inicialmente, debemos determinar la velocidad de las ondas sonoras a través del agua (v), en metros por segundo:

v = \sqrt{\frac{K}{\rho} } (1)

Donde:

  • K - Módulo de compresibilidad, en newtons por metro cuadrado.
  • \rho - Densidad del agua, en kilogramos por metro cúbico.

Si sabemos que \rho = 1\times 10^{3}\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} y K = 2,16\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N}{m^{2}}, entonces la velocidad de las ondas sonoras es:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2,16\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N}{m^{2}}}{1\times 10^{3}\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} } }

v\approx 1469,694\,\frac{m}{s}

La velocidad de las ondas sonoras es aproximadamente 1469,694 metros por segundo.

2) Luego, determinamos la longitud de onda (\lambda), en metros, mediante la siguiente fórmula:

\lambda = \frac{v}{f} (2)

Donde f es la frecuencia de las ondas sonoras, en hertz.

Si sabemos que v\approx 1469,694\,\frac{m}{s} y f = 1000\,hz, entonces la longitud de onda de las ondas sonoras es:

\lambda = \frac{1469,694\,\frac{m}{s} }{1000\,hz}

\lambda = 1,470\,m

La longitud de onda de las ondas sonoras es 1,470 metros.

Two boats leave the same port at the same time, with boat A traveling north at 15 knots (nautical miles per hour) and boat B tra
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The chance in distance is 25 knots

Explanation:

The distance between the two particles is given by:

s^2 = (x_A - x_B)^2+(y_A - y_B)^2  (1)

Since A is traveling north and B is traveling east we can say that their displacement vector are perpendicular and therefore (1) transformed as:

s^2 = x_B^2+y_A^2 (2)

Taking the differential with respect to time:

\displaystyle{2s\frac{ds}{dt}= 2x_B\frac{dx_B}{dt}+2y_A\frac{dy_A}{dt}}  (3)

where \displaystyle{\frac{dx_B}{dt}}=v_B and \displaystyle{\frac{dx_A}{dt}}=v_A are the respective given velocities of the boats. To find s and x_B we make use of the given position for A, y_A=30, the Pythagoras theorem and the relation between distance and velocity for a movement with constant velocity.

\displaystyle{y_A = v_A\cdot t\rightarrow t = \frac{y_A}{v_A}=\frac{30}{15}=2 h

with this time, we know can now calculate the distance at which B is:

\displaystyle{x_B = v_B\cdot t= 20 \cdot 2 = 40\ nmi

and applying Pythagoras:

\displaystyle{s = \sqrt{x_B^2+y_A^2}=\sqrt{30^2 + 40^2}=\sqrt{2500}=50}

Now substituting all the values in (3) and solving for  \displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} } we get:

\displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} = \frac{1}{2s}(2x_B\frac{dx_B}{dt}+2y_A\frac{dy_A}{dt})}\\\displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} = 25 \ knots}

If you were designing a room in a house, where would be the better place to put a heater, near the floor or near the ceiling? Wh
taurus [48]

Answer: The correct explanation is 2.

Explanation: The warm air is less dense (it expands) and thus it is lighter than the cold air so it will rise up to the floor. Therefore, when you place the heater on the floor it will warm the cold air which would then rise and be replaced by more cold air which would again get warm and rise and so on until the room is heated. This means that the correct explanation is 2.

On the other hand, if you put the heater at the ceiling, it will warm the cold air near the ceiling which would stay up there (it is lighter than the cold air under it). This means that the only way for the heat to spread from this ceiling level warm air to the lower levels is via conduction which is slow.

Why do covalent and ionic bonds form?
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions.

Explanation:
