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

Which of the following occurs when charging by rubbing? A. Electrons are created through friction. B. Protons combine with neutr
Lady_Fox [76]

The correct answer to the question is- C).Electrons are ripped off one material and held tightly by the other material.

EXPLANATION:

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand the charging by friction.

There are three modes of charging a body, which are known as friction,conduction, and induction.

Friction: Friction is the type of charging a body due to the actual transfer of electrons when two substances of different electron affinities are rubbed with each other. During rubbing, the electrons from less electron affinity substance will be transferred to high affinity substance.

The substance which will accept electrons gets negatively charged, and the other substance will be positively charged.

There will be no transfer of protons from one substance to another as protons are bound inside the nuclei of atoms.

Hence, the correct answer to the question is that electrons are ripped off one material and held tightly by the other material.

KiRa [710]

Complete and Clear Question:

A person puts a few apples into the freezer at -15°C to cool them quickly for guests who are about to arrive. Initially, the apples are at a uniform temperature of 20°C, and the heat transfer coefficient on the surfaces is 8 W/m2·K. Treating the apples as 9-cm-diameter spheres and taking their properties to be \rho = 840 kg/m3,  c_{p} = 3.81 kJ/kg·K, k = 0.418 W/m·K, and \alpha = 1.3 * 10^{-7} m^{2} /s, determine the center and surface temperatures of the apples in 1 h. Also, determine the amount of heat transfer from each apple. Solve this problem using analytical one-term approximation method (not the Heisler charts).

Answer:

Temperature at the center of the apple, T(t) = 11.215°C

Temperature at the surface of the apple, T(r,t) = 2.68°C

Amount of heat transfer from each apple, Q = 21.47 kJ

A 2.0-kg object moving 5.0 m/s collides with and sticks to an 8.0-kg object initially at rest. Determine the kinetic energy lost
densk [106]

Answer:

20J

Explanation:

In a collision, whether elastic or inelastic, momentum is always conserved. Therefore, using the principle of conservation of momentum we can first get the final velocity of the two bodies after collision. This is given by;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v          ---------------(i)

Where;

m₁ and m₂ are the masses of first and second objects respectively

u₁ and u₂ are the initial velocities of the first and second objects respectively

v  is the final velocity of the two objects after collision;

From the question;

m₁ = 2.0kg

m₂ = 8.0kg

u₁ = 5.0m/s

u₂ = 0        (since the object is initially at rest)

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

(2.0 x 5.0) + (8.0 x 0) = (2.0 + 8.0)v

(10.0) + (0) = (10.0)v

10.0 = 10.0v

v = 1m/s

The two bodies stick together and move off with a velocity of 1m/s after collision.

The kinetic energy(KE₁) of the objects before collision is given by

KE₁ = \frac{1}{2}m₁u₁² +  \frac{1}{2}m₂u₂²       ---------------(ii)

Substitute the appropriate values into equation (ii)

KE₁ = (\frac{1}{2} x 2.0 x 5.0²) +  (\frac{1}{2} x 8.0 x 0²)

KE₁ = 25.0J

Also, the kinetic energy(KE₂) of the objects after collision is given by

KE₂ = \frac{1}{2}(m₁ + m₂)v²      ---------------(iii)

Substitute the appropriate values into equation (iii)

KE₂ = \frac{1}{2} ( 2.0 + 8.0) x 1²

KE₂ = 5J

The kinetic energy lost (K) by the system is therefore the difference between the kinetic energy before collision and kinetic energy after collision

K = KE₂ - KE₁

K = 5 - 25

K = -20J

The negative sign shows that energy was lost. The kinetic energy lost by the system is 20J
