How can submarines use echolocation to tell how close they are to the bottom of the ocean?

Physics

Arada [10]2 years ago

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 balloon is rising vertically upwards at a velocity of 10m/s. When it is at a height of 45m from the ground, a parachute bails
harina [27]

(a) 30.9 m

Let's analyze the motion of the parachutist. Its vertical position above the ground is given by

y=h+ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 45 m is the initial height

u = 10 m/s is the initial velocity (upward)

t is the time

g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)

Substituting t=3 s , we find the height of the parachutist when it opens the parachute:

y=45 m+(10 m/s)(3 s)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)^2=30.9 m

(b) 44.1 m

Here we have to find first the height of the balloon 3 seconds after the parachutist has jumped off from it. The vertical position of the balloon is given by

y = h + ut

where

h = 45 m is the initial height

u = 10 m/s is the initial velocity (upward)

t is the time

Substituting t = 3 s, we find

y = 45 m + (10 m/s)(3 s) = 75 m

So the distance between the balloon and the parachutist after 3 s is

d = 75 m - 30.9 m = 44.1 m

(c) 8.2 m/s downward

The velocity of the parachutist at the moment he opens the parachute is:

v = u +gt

where

u = 10 m/s is the initial velocity (upward)

t is the time

g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)

Substituting t = 3 s,

v = 10 m/s + (-9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)= -19.4 m/s

where the negative sign means it is downward

After t=3 s, the parachutist open the parachute and it starts moving with a deceleration of

a =+5 m/s^2

where we put a positive sign since this time the acceleration is upward.

The total distance he still has to cover till the ground is

d = 30.9 m

So we can find the final velocity by using

v^2-u^2 = 2ad

where this time we have u = 19.4 m/s as initial velocity. Taking the downward direction as positive, the deceleration must be considered as negative:

a = -5 m/s^2

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2 +2ad}=\sqrt{(19.4 m/s)^2+2(-5 m/s^2)(30.9 m)}=8.2 m/s

(d) 5.24 s

We can find the duration of the second part of the motion of the parachutist (after he has opened the parachute) by using

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

a = -5 m/s^2 is the deceleration

v = 8.2 m/s is the final velocity

u = 19.4 m/s is the initial velocity

t is the time

Solving for t, we find

t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{8.2 m/s-19.4 m/s}{-5 m/s^2}=2.24 s

And added to the 3 seconds between the instant of the jump and the moment he opens the parachute, the total time is

t = 3 s + 2.24 s = 5.24 s
