The sound source of a ship’s sonar system operates at a frequency of 22.0 kHz . The speed of sound in water (assumed to be at a

uniform 20∘C) is 1482 m/s . What is the difference in frequency between the directly radiated waves and the waves reflected from a whale traveling straight toward the ship at 4.95 m/s ? Assume that the ship is at rest in the water.

Answer:

147.456077993 Hz

Explanation:

f_0 = Frequency of the sonar = 22 kHz

v_w = Velocity of the whale = 4.95 m/s

v = Speed of sound in water = 1482 m/s

The difference in frequency is given by

\Delta f=f_0\times\dfrac{2v_{w}}{v-v_w}\\\Rightarrow \Delta f=22000\times\dfrac{2\times 4.95}{1482-4.95}\\\Rightarrow \Delta f=147.456077993\ Hz

The difference in frequency is 147.456077993 Hz

Which statement is true? Which statement is true? An orbital that penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons is more
masya89 [10]

Hey there!:

Here the Statement - D is correct.  

Because Orbitals containing the core electrons are more attracted towards nuclear charge and hence less shilded from nuclear charge than an orbital that doesn't penetrate.  Also due to more attraction between the orbital containing core electron and nucleus, it will have less energy.

Hope this helps!

Find the energy in Joules required to lift a 55.0 Megagram object a distance of 500 cm.
fredd [130]

Energy to lift something =

               (mass of the object) x (gravity) x (height of the lift).

BUT ...

This simple formula only works if you use the right units.

Mass . . . kilograms
Gravity . . . meters/second²
Height . . . meters

For this question . . .

Mass = 55 megagram = 5.5 x 10⁷ grams = 5.5 x 10⁴ kilograms

Gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/second²

Height = 500 cm  =  5.0 meters

So we have ...

Energy = (5.5 x 10⁴ kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)

            =  2,696,925 joules .

That's quite a large amount of energy ... equivalent to
straining at the rate of 1 horsepower for almost exactly an
hour, or burning a 100 watt light bulb for about 7-1/2 hours.

The reason is the large mass that's being lifted.
On Earth, that much mass weighs about 61 tons.
