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

A car travels a distance of 100 km. For the first 30 minutes it is driven at a constant speed of 80 km/hr. The motor begins to v
gregori [183]

Explanation:

First, we need to determine the distance traveled by the car in the first 30 minutes, d_{\frac{1}{2}}.

Notice that the unit measurement for speed, in this case, is km/hr. Thus, a unit conversion of from minutes into hours is required before proceeding with the calculation, as shown below

                                          d_{\frac{1}{2}\text{h}} \ = \ \text{speed} \ \times \ \text{time taken} \\ \\ \\ d_{\frac{1}{2}\text{h}} \ = \ 80 \ \text{km h}^{-1} \ \times \ \left(\displaystyle\frac{30}{60} \ \text{h}\right) \\ \\ \\ d_{\frac{1}{2}\text{h}} \ = \ 80 \ \text{km h}^{-1} \ \times \ 0.5 \ \text{h} \\ \\ \\ d_{\frac{1}{2}\text{h}} \ = \ 40 \ \text{km}

Now, it is known that the car traveled 40 km for the first 30 minutes. Hence, the remaining distance, d_{\text{remain}} , in which the driver reduces the speed to 40km/hr is

                                             d_{\text{remain}} \ = \ 100 \ \text{km} \ - \ 40 \ \text{km} \\ \\ \\ d_{\text{remain}} \ = \ 60 \ \text{km}.

Subsequently, we would also like to know the time taken for the car to reach its destination, denoted by  t_{\text{remian}}.

                                              t_{\text{remain}} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \\ \\ \\ t_{\text{remain}} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{60 \ \text{km}}{40 \ \text{km hr}^{-1}} \\ \\ \\ t_{\text{remain}} \ = \ 1.5 \ \text{hours}.

Finally, with all the required values at hand, the average speed of the car for the entire trip is calculated as the ratio of the change in distance over the change in time.

                                                     \text{speed} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{\Delta d}{\Delta t} \\ \\ \\ \text{speed} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{100 \ \text{km}}{(0.5 \ \text{hr} \ + \ 1.5 \ \text{hr})} \\ \\ \\ \text{speed} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{100 \ \text{km}}{2 \ \text{hr}} \\ \\ \\ \text{speed} \ = \ 50 \ \text{km hr}^{-1}

Therefore, the average speed of the car is 50 km/hr.

If the sun had twice the mace how would that affect the gravitational force of the sun
daser333 [38]

Answer:  Gravity is the force that keeps planets in orbit around the Sun. Gravity alone holds us to Earth's surface.

Planets have measurable properties, such as size, mass, density, and composition. A planet's size and mass determines its gravitational pull.

A planet's mass and size determines how strong its gravitational pull is.

Models can help us experiment with the motions of objects in space, which are determined by the gravitational pull between them.

The flow of electrons through a circuit is measured in which of the following units? A. electrical pressure B. amperes C. volts
damaskus [11]

The total quantity of electrons that have flowed through a circuit is a
quantity of charge, measured in Coulombs, or in Ampere-seconds.

The <em><u>rate</u></em> of flow of electrons, or more accurately the rate of flow of
the charge on them, is electrical current.  Its unit is the Ampere. 
1 Ampere is 1 Coulomb of charge per second.

One solution to minimize resonance with buildings is to ______ the width to span ratio.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

Resonance is a phenomenon which occurs when a body A in motion set another body B into motion of it own natural frequency. So for resonance to be minimize in a body is to increase the width to span ratio. So as to reduce the overall vibration which affects directly building resonance, the stiffness or trusses and girders should be increase. The increase in this aspect helps to reinforce building structure and support.
