Soundwaves are longitudinal waves whereas light (electromagnetic waves) are transverse waves.
Soundwaves oscillate parallel to the direction of propagation.
Light waves oscillate at right angles to the direction of propagation.

Do the math: How many seconds would it take an echo sounder’s ping to make the trip from a ship to the Challenger Deep (10,994 m
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

<h2>14.66secs</h2>

Explanation:

Given the formula for calculating the depth in metres expressed as

depth in meters = ½ (1500 m/sec × Echo travel time in seconds)

Given depth of the challenger = 10, 994 meters, we will substitute this given value into the formula given to calculate the time take for the echo to travel.

10, 994 = depth in meters = ½ * 1500 m/sec × Echo travel time in seconds

10,994 = 750 * Echo travel time in seconds

Dividing both sides by 750;

Echo travel time in seconds = 10,994 /750

Echo travel time in seconds ≈ 14.66secs (to two decimal places)

Therefore, it would take an echo sounder’s ping 14.66secs to make the trip from a ship to the Challenger Deep and back

If Neptune’s mass were reduced, what could be done to maintain the same force of gravitational attraction between Neptune and th
Alenkinab [10]
Make Neptune closer to the sun because then it would have a stronger gravitation pull. Because the closer the objects are, they will have a stronger gravitaional force and when the object has more mass, the gravity is also stronger. So, if the mass is reduced, the gravity force would be reduced, but if you bring neptune closer, the gravity force would increase
