Answer: 3750 m


Explanation:


1) You can find in the literature or internet that the speed of sound in the ocean is about 1500 m/s.


2) Then, you can find the distance travel by the sound wave in 5.0s with the equation distance = speed × time


⇒ distance = 1500m/s × 5.0 s = 7500 m


3) That sound went down until the ocean floor below and cameback all the way until the sailor heard it.


Then, the deep of the ocean fllor is half that distance:


deep = 7500m / 2 = 3750m

A 60.0 kg girl stands up on a stationary floating raft and decides to go into shore. She dives off the 180 kg floating raft with
padilas [110]
Momentum, p = m.v
m of the girl = 60.0 kg
m of the boat = 180 kg
v of the girl = 4.0 m/s

A) Momentum of the girl as she is diving:
p = m.v = 60.0 kg * 4.0 m/s = 24.0 N/s

B) momentum of the raft = - momentum of the girl = -24.0 N/s

C) speed of the raft

p = m.v ; v = p/m = 24.0N/s / 180 kg = -0.13 m/s [i.e. in the opposite direction of the girl's velocity]
