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

The moon's mass is 7.34x10-kg and it is 3.8x10m away from earth. Calculate the gravitational force of attraction between earth a
Nana76 [90]
Again I think you did not give the right constants. So I would use the correct constants for mass of moon and distance from earth to moon.

<span>The formula for force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe
F  =  GMm / r^2.      (Newton's Universal law of Gravitation).

G = Universal gravitational constant, G = 6.67 * 10 ^ -11  Nm^2 / kg^2.
M = Mass of Earth. = 5.97 x 10^24 kg.
m = mass of moon = 7.34 x 10^22  kg.
r = distance apart, between centers = in this case it is the distance from Earth to the Moon
   = 3.8 x 10^8 m.

(Sorry I could not assume with the values you gave, they are wrong, and if we use them we would be insulting Physics).


So F = ((6.67 * 10 ^ -11)*(5.97 x 10^24)*(7.34 * 10^22)) / (3.8 x 10^8)^2.
  Punch it all up in your calculator.
 
I used a Casio 991 calculator, it should be one of the best in the world.Really lovely calculator, that has helped me a lot in computations like this. I am thankful for the Calculator.

F = 2.0240 * 10^ 20 N.
So that's our answer.
Hurray!!</span>

What does the left y-axis show?
vivado [14]

Answer:

The correct option is;

a- sea surface temperature anomaly, in degrees Celsius

Explanation:

From the diagram related to the question we have two graphs super imposed of Sea surface temperature anomaly, in degrees Celsius and cholera incidence anomaly (%) both plotted against time in years.

On the left the y-axis represents the sea surface temperature anomaly while on the right, the y-axis represents the cholera incidence anomaly (%).

The display of the graph shows the sea surface temperature anomaly in blue.

How is thermal equilibrium reached? Question 3 options: When both objects have the same temperature When objects have the same m
ollegr [7]

In the thermal equilibrium, the change in temperature is said to be zero in between the bodies. Thermal equilibrium is reached when both objects have the same temperature.

<h3>What is thermal equilibrium?</h3>

Thermal equilibrium is easily explained by the zeroth law of thermodynamics. If any two-body is at thermal equilibrium there is no change in the temperature of the body.

According to zeroth law if body A is in thermal equilibrium with body B and body B is in thermal equilibrium with C . So body A and C are also in thermal equilibrium.

In the thermal equilibrium, the net heat transfer is said to be zero in between the bodies.

Hence option A IS RIGHT. Thermal equilibrium is reached when both objects have the same temperature

To learn more about the thermal equilibrium refer to the link;

please help me with my question I will like and mark as brainliest NO LINKS THEY DON'T WORK AND IF U DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER PLS D
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

a)

Weight in Air = 0.3N

Weight in Water = 0.25N

Weight in Liquid = 0.24N.

Upthrust /Buoyant Force = Weight in Air – Weight in Fluid(Water in this case)

= 0.3 – 0.25

= 0.5N.

b) R.D of Body = Density of Body/Density of Standard Fluid(Water).

There's a Derived Formula for RD.

I'm gonna Apply it here.

Ask me for the derivation in the Comment section if you need it.

RD = α/ρ = (Weight in Air) / (Upthrust Force)

Where

α = density of the Body(or reference substance)

ρ = density of standard fluid (water)

= 0.3/0.05 = 6.

c) RD of Liquid = (Density of Liquid) /(Density of standard Fluid(water)

Or we just go by that formula

RD of Liquid = Weight in Air/Upthrust(In Liquid)

We'll be using the Upthrust in that Liquid now.

= 0.3 – 0.24 = 0.06

RD = 0.3/0.06 = 5.
