An ultrasonic ruler, such as the one discussed in Example 4 in Section 16.6, displays the distance between the ruler and an obje

ct, such as a wall. The ruler sends out a pulse of ultrasonic sound and measures the time it takes for the pulse to reflect from the object and return. The ruler uses this time, along with a preset value for the speed of sound in air, to determine the distance. Suppose that you use this ruler under water, rather than in air. The actual distance from the ultrasonic ruler to an object is 24.0 m. The adiabatic bulk modulus and density of seawater are Bad = 2.37 × 109 Pa and rho = 1025 kg/m3, respectively. Assume that the ruler uses a preset value of 343 m/s for the speed of sound in air. Determine the distance reading that the ruler displays.

Answer:

reading would be 5.413 m.

Explanation:

Given:-

- The actual distance from ruler to an object is d = 24.0 m

- The adiabatic bulk modulus, B = 2.37 *10^9 Pa

- The density of seawater, ρ = 1025 kg/m^3

- The preset value of speed of sound in air, v_th = 343 m/s.

Find:-

Determine the distance reading that the ruler displays.

Solution:-

- We will first determine the actual speed of the sound ( v_a) in sea-water which can be determined from the following formula:

                            v_a = √ (B /  ρ )

- Plug in the values in the relationship above and compute v_a:

                            v_a = √ ( 2.37 *10^9 /  1025  )        

                            v_a = 1520.59038 m/s

- The time taken (t) for for the sound to travel from source(ruler) to an object which is d distance away.

                            d = v_a*t

                            t = d / v_a

                            t = 24.0 / 1520.59038

                            t = 0.01578 s

- The distance reading on the ruler would be preset speed (v_th) of sound in air multiplied by the time taken(t).

                           reading = v_th*t

                           reading = (343)*(0.01578)

                                         = 5.413 m

Answer:

250 N

Explanation:

a =  \frac{vf - vi}{t}

Vf=final velocity

Vi =initial velocity

=70-20/2=25m/s^2

F=ma

=10kg * 25m/s^2

=250N

When two or more forces act together on an object what do they combine to form
Daniel [21]
Without knowing anything about their magnitudes or directions, the only thing you can always say about thier combination is that it's the "net force" on the object.

Location C is 0.02 m from a small sphere which has a charge of 3 nanocoulombs uniformly distributed on its surface. Location D i
kkurt [141]

The change in potential along a path from C to D due to a small charged sphere is 900 V.

Given:

Charge, Q = 3 nC = 3 × 10⁻⁹ C

Distance between the sphere and point C, r₁ = 0.02 m

Distance between the sphere and point D, r₂ = 0.06 m

Calculation:

We know that the electric potential is given as:

V = k Q/r   - (1)

where, V is the electric potential

            k is Coulomb's force constant

            Qis the charge on the  sphere

            r is the  separation distance

The electric potential at point C due to charged sphere can be given as:

V₁ = k Q/r₁

   = (9×10⁹ Nm²/C²) [(3 × 10⁻⁹ C)/(0.02 m)]

   = 1350 V

The electric potential at point D due to charged sphere can be given as:

V₂ = k Q/r₂

   = (9×10⁹ Nm²/C²) [(3 × 10⁻⁹ C)/(0.06 m)]

   = 450 V

Now, the change in potential along the path from C to D can be calculated as:

ΔV = V₂ - V₁

     = 450 V - 1350 V

     = -900 V

The negative sign indicates that the work is done against the electric field in moving the charge from C to D.

Therefore, the change in potential along a path from C to D is 900 V against the direction of the electric field.
