Answer:

2625 m deep

Explanation:

Let the sound speed in sea water be 1500 m/s. If he hears the echo 3.5s after the strike, then the sound would have traveled a distance of 1500 * 3.5 = 5250 m to the bottom and back. This would mean the ocean is 5250 / 2 = 2625 m deep.

A firefighting crew uses a water cannon that shoots water at 25.0 m/s at a fixed angle of 53.0° above the horizontal. The fire-f
zysi [14]

Answer:

8.8 m and 52.5 m

Explanation:

The vertical component and horizontal component of water velocity leaving the hose are

v_v = vsin(\alpha) = 25sin(53^0) = 25*0.8 = 19.97 m/s

v_h = vcos(\alpha) = 25cos(53^0) = 25*0.6 = 15 m/s

Neglect air resistance, vertically speaking, gravitational acceleration g = -9.8m/s2 is the only thing that affects water motion. We can find the time t that it takes to reach the blaze 10m above ground level

s = v_vt + gt^2/2

10 = 19.97t - 9.8t^2/2

4.9t^2 - 19.97t + 10 = 0

t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

t= \frac{19.9658877511823\pm \sqrt{(-19.9658877511823)^2 - 4*(4.9)*(10)}}{2*(4.9)}

t= \frac{19.9658877511823\pm14.24}{9.8}

t = 3.49 or t = 0.58

We have 2 solutions for t, one is 0.58 when it first reach the blaze during the 1st shoot up, the other is 3.49s when it falls down

t is also the times it takes to travel across horizontally. We can use this to compute the horizontal distance between the fire-fighters and the building

s_1 = v_ht_1 = 15*0.58 = 8.8 m

s_2 = v_ht_2 = 15*3.49 = 52.5m

A proton moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B at a speed of 2.30 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration of 1.70 10
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the following :

Speed (V) = speed of 2.30×10^7 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 1.70×10^13 m/s^2

Using the right hand rule provided by  Lorentz law:

B = F / qvSinΘ

Where B = magnitude of the magnetic field

v = speed of the particle

Θ = 90° (perpendicular to the field)

q = charge of the particle

SinΘ = sin90°  = 1

Note F = ma

Therefore,

B = ma / qvSinΘ

Mass of proton = 1.67 × 10^-27

Charge = 1.6 × 10^-19 C

B = [(1.67 × 10^-27) × (1.70 × 10^13)] / (1.6 × 10^-19) × (2.30 × 10^7) × 1

B = 2.839 × 10^-14 / 3.68 × 10^-12

B = 0.7715 × 10^-2

B = 7.72 × 10^-3 T

2) Magnetic field will be in the negative y direction according to the right hand thumb rule.

Since Velocity is in the positive z- direction, acceleration in the positive x - direction, then magnetic field must be in the negative y-direction.

Describe the full water cycle
sergey [27]

The water cycle (hydro-logic cycle), explains the constant motion of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. The mass of water on Earth stays equally constant over time, although the severe portion of the water goes into the major reservoirs of ice, fresh water, saline water and atmospheric water is variable depending on a wide range of climatic variables. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, and subsurface flow. In doing so, the water goes through different forms: liquid, solid (ice) and vapor.
