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

Elements heavier than hydrogen are formed when light elements undergo nuclear fusion. Fusion takes place within stars at tempera
LuckyWell [14K]
B is the best answer.  Once the particles are sufficiently close, the strong nuclear force becomes stronger than the Coulomb repulsion and they are pulled together.  This results in bound particles that have a binding energy that can be retrieved of you can get the particles far enough away from one another after binding, but this requires large and unstable nuclei (beyond lead on the table)  These elements are referred to as radioactive, because they are prone to decaying

Each croquet ball in a set has a mass of 0.53 kg. The green ball, traveling at 14.4 m/s, strikes the blue ball, which is at rest
faust18 [17]

a) 14.4 m/s

The problem can be solved by using the law of conservation of total momentum; in  fact, the total initial momentum must be equal to the final total momentum:

p_i = p_f

So we have:

m_g u_g + m_b u_b = m_g v_g + m_b v_b (1)

where

m_b = m_g = m = 0.53 kg is the mass of each ball

u_g = 14.4 m/s is the initial velocity of the green ball

u_b = 0 is the initial velocity of the blue ball

v_g=0 is the final velocity of the green ball

v_b is the final velocity of the blue ball

Simplifying the mass in the equation and solving for v_b, we find

v_b = u_g = 14.4 m/s

b) 12.0 m/s

This time, the green ball continues moving after the collision at

v_g = 2.4 m/s

So the equation (1) becomes

u_g = v_g + v_b

And solving for v_b we find

v_b = u_g - v_g = 14.4 m/s-2.4 m/s=12.0 m/s

c) 13.5 m/s

This time, the green ball continues moving after the collision at

v_g = 0.9 m/s

So the equation (1) becomes

u_g = v_g + v_b

And solving for v_b we find

v_b = u_g - v_g = 14.4 m/s-0.9 m/s=13.5 m/s

How are chargeable cells different from ordinary dry cells​
topjm [15]
Ordinary cells can convert chemical energy to electrical energy only, but rechargeable cells can also store electrical energy into chemical energy and vice versa. You will study more about it in your higher classes. secondary cells can be recharged and used again but dry cells cannot be recharged.
