When the sound wave returns to the machine, you can measure
how long it took to return.
(You may notice that it's working just like RADAR, which does the
same thing with radio waves instead of sound waves.)
Even if you know how long the sound took to get to the bottom and
return to the top, you can't DO anything with this information if you
don't know the SPEED of the sound through the water. Not only
the inventory of this machine, but anyone who uses it, has to know
the speed of the sound through water in order to use the round-trip
time to calculate the depth.
Answer:
Explanation:
The force of friction equals the sine component of the force due to gravity
Answer:
Mass and thus force depends on the reference frame chosen
Explanation:
This can be explained as Newton's law of gravity provides action which are instantaneous at a distance and involves the evaluation of all the quantities at present time or at the instant they occur.
If the body undergoes a change in its mass distribution there will be an immediate change in its gravitational force without any lag.
Now, if we talk about special relativity, it would be absurd to say that an information can travel faster than light. The effect is in synchronization with the cause in one reference frame where the effect occurs after the cause for some observer in some other reference frame.
In order to observe Newton's law of gravity all the observer's in different reference frames must observe the same phenomena which could only be possible if time were absolute and in special relativity, time is not absolute.
Therefore, Newton's law of gravity was inconsistent with the Einstein's Special Relativity.
Using the precise speed of light in a vacuum (

), and your given distance of

, we can convert and cancel units to find the answer. The distance in m, using

, is

. Next, for the speed of light, we convert from s to min, using

, so we divide the speed of light by 60. Finally, dividing the distance between the Sun and Venus by the speed of light in km per min, we find that it is
6.405 min.
