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

Gnesinka [82]

Answer: B. Allegheny plateau

Explanation: Allegheny plateau is a mountainous region that makes up the northern part of the United States of America, the following states are located on the Allegheny plateau New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, it is made up of HORIZONTAL SEDIMENTARY BEDROCK at elevated lands. Allegheny plateau is over 40million area is over 40million acres,it has been a site for Erosion and for millions years,through this erosions some areas have been brought low while others are higher following the deposition of materials by the erosion.

6) Set the battery to a value between 0.0 V and 1.5 V. Now drag the voltage meter toward the capacitor and move the red and blac
KIM [24]

Answer:

A) 1.5 v

B) Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate

Explanation:

Battery value set between 0.0 V and 1.5 V

a) The potential difference between the plates

Δ V = V1( potential at top plate) - V2( potential at lower plate )

potential at top plate = 1.5 V

potential at lower plate = 0.0 V

hence potential difference = 1.5 V

b ) The top plate is always connected to the positive terminal of the DC source ( which is at a higher potential )while the bottom plate is connected to the negative terminal of the DC source ( which is at a lower potential )

hence the Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate

Some element can be either solid or liquid. At the melting point, the liquid has 8 × 10-22 J more enthalpy per atom than the sol
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

481.76 J/mol

133.33 K

Explanation:

N_A = Avogadro's number = 6.022\times 10^{23}

Change in enthalpy is given by

\Delta H=8\times 10^{-22}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow \Delta H=481.76\ J/mol

Entropy is given by

\Delta S=6\times 10^{-24}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow \Delta S=3.6132\ J/mol K

Latent heat of fusion is given by

L_f=\Delta H\\\Rightarrow L_f=481.76\ J/mol

The latent heat of fusion is 481.76 J/mol

Melting point is given by

T_m=\dfrac{L_f}{\Delta S}\\\Rightarrow T_m=\dfrac{8\times 10^{-22}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}}{6\times 10^{-24}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}}\\\Rightarrow T_f=133.33\ K

Melting occurs at 133.33 K

Which of the following equations defines the law of conservation of energy?
loris [4]
NONE of those choices defines the law of conservation of energy,
and none even describes it.  It's as if these choices belong to
a whole different question. 

In fact, none of the choices is even a true statement by itself !

A statement that defines the law of conservation of energy
would have to say something like this:

The total amount of energy in any closed system is constant.
The total amount of energy after any event or process is the
same as the total amount was before it.
