Answer:

∴ fractional compression = 1.34 × 10⁻²

Explanation:

given,

depth of Indian ocean = 3000 m

Bulk modulus of the water = 2.2 x 10⁹ N/m²

We know,

P = P₀ + ρgh

P₀ is the atmospheric pressure

P₀ = 10⁵ N/m²

ρ is the density of the water, 1000 Kg/m³

P = 10⁵ + 1000 × 9.8 × 3000 = 2.94 × 10⁷ N/m²

using formula,

B = P/{-∆V/V}

B is bulk modulus and { -∆V/V} is the fractional compression

\dfrac{-\Delta V}{V} = \dfrac{2.94 \times 10^7}{2.2 \times 10^9}

\dfrac{-\Delta V}{V} =1.34 \times 10^{-2}

∴ fractional compression = 1.34 × 10⁻²

Does air resistance affect the motion of a falling object differently when the mass is greater?
mixas84 [53]
<span>NO.

Air resistance does not affect the motion of a falling object differently when the mass is greater because the mass of an object does not in any way affect the speed of falling due to gravity, and air resistance depends only on the speed of the object and its surface area.</span>

The light rays in the illustration below do not properly focus at the focal point. this problem occurs with?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The problem occurs with all spherical mirrors.

Spherical mirrors are practical up to about inches in diameter.

Reflecting telescopes use spherical mirrors for apertures up to about 4 ".

Larger aperture telescopes use parabolic mirrors to obtain sharp focus.

The only thing we know about so far that can shift wavelengths of light
to longer wavelengths is when the source of the light is moving away
from the observer.

When we look at the light from distant galaxies, the light from them is
always shifted to longer wavelengths than it SHOULD have. 

AND ... The farther away from us a galaxy IS, the MORE its light is
shifted to wavelengths longer than it should have.

So far, this indicates to us that the whole universe is expanding.
That's the only way to understand what we see, because that's
the only thing we know of that can shift light to longer wavelengths.


By the way ... The most interesting thing about these observations
and measurements is:  When astronomers see this light from distant
galaxies and measure the wavelengths, how do they know how far
the wavelengths shifted ?  How do they know what the wavelengths
SHOULD be ?
 
I'll leave you to read about that in the next few years.
