It makes no difference. The momentum of either car goes to zero in both cases.

The opening to a cave is a tall, 30.0-cm-wide crack. A bat is preparing to leave the cave emits a 30.0 kHz ultrasonic chirp. How

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The value is $w = 7.54 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the crack is $a = 0.3 \ m$

The frequency is $f = 30.0 \ kHz = 30 *10^{3} \ Hz$

The distance outside the cave that is being consider is $D = 100 \ m$

The speed of sound is $v_s = 340 \ m/s$

Generally the wavelength of the wave is mathematically represented as

$\lambda = \frac{v}f}$

=> $\lambda = \frac{340 }{30*10^{3}}$

=> $\lambda = 0.0113 \ m/s$

Generally for a single slit the path difference between the interference patterns of the sound wave and the center is mathematically represented as

$y = \frac{ n * \lambda * D}{a}$

=> $y = \frac{ 1 * 0.0113 * 100}{0.3}$

=> $y = 3.77 \ m$

Generally the width of the sound beam is mathematically represented as

$w = 2 * y$

=> $w = 2 * 3.77$

=> $w = 7.54 \ m$

A diver is on a board 1.80 m above

Virty [35]

Answer:

v = 6.95 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

A diver is on a board 1.80 m above the water, s = 1.8 m

The initial speed of the diver, u = 3.62 m/s

Let v is the speed with which she hit the water. It will move under the action of gravity. Using the equation of motion as follows :

$v^2-u^2=2gs\\\\v=\sqrt{u^2+2gs} \\\\v=\sqrt{(3.62)^2+2(9.8)(1.8)} \\\\v=6.95\ m/s$

So, she will hit the water with a speed of 6.95 m/s.

A spherical submersible 1.84 m in radius, armed with multiple cameras, descends under water in a region of the Atlantic Ocean kn

Drupady [299]

Answer:

23932242.5 Pa

Explanation:

$P_a$ = Atmospheric pressure = $1.013\times 10^5\ Pa$

$P_w$ = Pressure of seawater

$\rho$ = Density of sea water = $1.025\times 10^3\ kg/m^3$

h = Depth of shipwreck = $2.37\times 10^3\ m$

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

The absolute pressure is given by

$P_{ab}=P_a+P_w\\\Rightarrow P_{ab}=1.013\times 10^5+1.025\times 10^3\times 9.81\times 2.37\times 10^3\\\Rightarrow P_{ab}=23932242.5\ Pa$

The absolute pressure at the depth of the shipwreck is 23932242.5 Pa

How are igneous rock formed ?Explain in brief.

Sati [7]

Explanation:

Igneous rocks are formed by melting and cooling of magma originated from volcanic process.

when molten rock (rock liquefied by intense heat and pressure) cools to a solid state. Lava is molten rock flowing out of fissures or vents at volcanic centres (when cooled they form rocks such as basalt, rhyolite, or obsidian)

These rocks are strong, crystalline and dark in colour.
