Answer:Sample Response: Submarines can release sound waves. These sound waves will hit the bottom of the ocean and be reflected back to the submarine as echoes. The submarine can use these echoes to tell how far it is from the bottom of the ocean.

To locate a specific target or to determine how close submarines are to the seafloor, they use active and passive sound navigation and ranging (or a SONAR, in simple terms.) It emits pulses of sound waves that travel through the water, reflect off the target and relayed back to the ship. By determining how fast the sound wave travels back, the computers on the sub calculate how far they are from the target.

Hope this helps.

A heat engine performs (245 + A) J of work in each cycle while also delivering (142 + B) J of heat to the cold reservoir. Find t
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The value is \eta  =  54.4 \%

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The work input is  W = ( 245 + A ) \  J

     The heat delivered is Q =  (142 + B) \  J

      The value of A is  A =  14

        The value of B  is  B  = 72

Generally the efficiency of the heat engine is mathematically represented as

          \eta  =  \frac{W}{Q_t}

Here  Q_t is the total out energy produce by the heat engine and this is mathematically represented as

           Q_t= Q + W

=>         Q_t=  245 + A + 142 + B

=>         Q_t=  390 + A+B

So

               \eta  =  \frac{245 + A }{390 + A+ B}

=>          \eta  =  0.544

=>          \eta  =  0.544 *100

=>          \eta  =  54.4 \%

An oblique rectangular prism with a square base has a volume of 539 cubic units. The edges of the prism measure 7 by 7 by 14 uni
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

3 units

Solution:

V=539 cubic units

Square base, with edge a=7 units

Slanted edge length: s=14 units

V=Ab h

Ab=49 square units

539 cubic units = (49 square units) h

h= 11 units

s-h=14 units-11 units

s-h=3 units
