I don't like the wording of any of the choices on the list.

SONAR generates a short pulse of sound, like a 'peep' or a 'ping',
focused in one direction.  If there's a solid object in that direction,
then some of the sound that hits it gets reflected back, toward the
source.  The source listens to hear if any of the sound that it sent
out returns to it.  If it hears its own 'ping' come back, it measures
the time it took for the sound to go out and come back.  That tells
the SONAR equipment that there IS a solid object in that direction,
and also HOW FAR away it is.

RADAR works exactly the same way, except RADAR uses radio waves.

The ms = 0.5645 and mk=0.1113 for a 30 N box on level ground. What level force is needed to start the box moving
nevsk [136]

Answer:

16.935 N

Explanation:

In order to make the box start moving, the level force applied on the box (F) must be greater than the force of static friction that keeps the box at rest, which is equal to

F_f = \mu_s (mg)

where

\mu_s = 0.5645 is the coefficient of static friction

(mg) = 30 N is the weight of the box

Therefore, the condition for F must be:

F \geq F_f\\F \geq \mu_k (mg)=(0.5645)(30 N)=16.935 N

So, the applied force must be greater than this value.

A person touches a large chunk of ice with their hand and remarks, “This is making me cold.” Explain what this person is feeling
malfutka [58]

Cold temperature can't "flow" into a warmer object, in this case, the person's hand. The heat energy of the hand gets transferred to the colder object, the ice.

A 20 kg mass is moving at 10 m/s and collides with a stationary 5 kg mass, transferring all its momentum in the collision, what
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

v = 40 [m/s].

Explanation:

Linear momentum is defined as the product of mass by Velocity. In this way, by means of the following equation, we can calculate the momentum.

P=m*v\\

where:

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

P =20*10\\P =200 [kg*m/s]

Since all momentum is transferred, we can say that this momentum is equal for the mass of 5 [kg]. In this way, we can determine the speed after the impact.

v = P/m\\v = 200/5\\v = 40 [m/s]
