Sonar is used to map the ocean floor. if an ultrasonic signal is received 3.3 s after it is emitted, how deep is the ocean floor

at that location?

The speed of sound in fresh water is 1482m/s. 
It says ocean floor, so we should a little bit more accurate, and use the fact that the speed of sound in salt water (that has no bubbles) is 1560m/s. 
speed = distance / time 
Therefore Distance = speed x time = 1560 x 3.3 = 5158m 
The sonar wave is sent out by the boat, reflected off the seafloor, and then is received back at the boat on the surface. So the distance 5148m is the distance from the boat to the sea bottom and then back up to the boat again. 
So the depth of the water is half this distance Depth of water = 5148/2=2574m

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

<em>There will be an increase in potential difference.</em>

Explanation:

As we know that the potential difference depends upon the capacitance.

ΔV = Q/C

When battery is disconnected the charge remains constant on the plates but the capacitance decreases. As the capacitance has an inverse relation with the potential difference, there will be an increase in it.

In addition to that the potential difference can also be defined as the product of field and distance between the plates. As the charge is constant so the field is constant. Upon increasing the separation between the plates the potential difference will also increased.

How are energy and mass connected during the formation of an atom? Energy is absorbed, so the mass is increased. Energy is relea
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Energy is absorbed, so the mass is reduced.

Explanation:

The relationship between the mass and the energy is given by Einstein formula as :

E=mc^2

m is the mass of an atom

c is the speed of light

When an atom is formed, the energy gets absorbed. As a result mass will decrease as per Einstein's equation. So, the correct option is (c) "Energy is absorbed, so the mass is reduced".
