A sailor strikes the side of his ship just below the surface of the sea. he hears the echo of the wave reflected from the ocean

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

If the pendulum took longer to complete one oscillation, how would the graph change?
pickupchik [31]

We don't know what kind of graph it is.

For example, it might be a graph of the pendulum's distance from center,

angle from center, speed, acceleration, total distance swung since it was

started, mass, weight, temperature, etc.


If the graph shows the pendulum's distance from center, angle from center,

speed, or acceleration, then the graph will look like a wave, with the period

of the wave being the period of the pendulum's oscillation. If the pendulum

took longer to complete one oscillation, that means its PERIOD increased,

and the distance between the peaks of the graph would be longer.


If it was a graph of total distance the pendulum swung since it was started,

the graph wouldn't look like a wave, just a steadily rising wiggle line. If the

pendulum took longer to complete one oscillation, the wiggles in the line

would be farther apart, and the average slope of any large section of the

line would be less.


If it was a graph of the pendulum's mass, weight, temperature, cost, etc.,

then the graph would be a horizontal line, and nothing that might change

the period of oscillation would have any effect on the graph.
