Sound in water travels at a velocity governed by the relation v = √(B/rho) where B is the bulk modulus and rho is the density. F

or salt water, take B = 2.28 × 109 Pa and rho = 1043 kg/m3. A whale sends out a high frequency (10 kHz) song to another whale 1.0 km away.

Answer:

t = 0.67635 s

n = 6764

Explanation:

Given:

- The velocity of sound in water v:

                                    v = √(B/rho)

Where, B: Bulk Modulus = 2.28*10^9 Pa

            rho: Density of salt water = 1043 kg/m^3

- The wale sends out a high frequency f = 10 kHz

- The distance between two wales s = 1.0 km

Find:

- Time taken for the sound to travel between whales t?

- How many wavelengths can fit between the two whales n?

Solution:

- The time taken for the sound to travel from one whale to another can be determined from:

                               t = s / v

                               t = s / √(B/rho)

                               t = s*√(rho/B)

- Plug in the values:

                               t = 1000*√(1043/2.28*10^9)

                              t = 0.67635 s

- The wavelength λ of the sound emitted can be calculated by the following formula:

                               λ = √(B/rho) / f

                               λ = √(2.28*10^9/1043) / 10^4

                               λ =  0.14785 m

- The number of wavelengths n that could fit in the distance s is:

                               n*λ = s

                               n = 1000 / 0.14785

                              n = 6764

A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 2.84 m/s2 at the instant when a second car moving with a velocity of 25.7 m/s pas
vredina [299]

Answer:

464.69 m

Explanation:

First car

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}2.84t^2\\\Rightarrow s=1.42t^2

Second car

Distance = Speed × Time

\text{Distance}=25.7t

Here, the time taken and the distance traveled will be the same

Equating the two equations

1.42t^2=25.7t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{25.7}{1.42}\\\Rightarrow t=18.09\ s

So, the first would have to move 1.42t^2=1.42\times 18.09^2=464.69\ m in order to overtake the second car.

In which wavelength region(s) would we need to carry out observations in order to study the accretion disk around a white dwarf
Inga [223]

In “Ultraviolet light” and “X-ray” light wavelength regions are needed to carry out observations to study the “accretion disk” around “a white dwarf” in a “binary system”.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Occurrence of an accretion disk is due to presence of diffuse material around a white dwarf in orbital motion. White dwarf is constituted from electron-degenerate matter therefore also called as degenerate dwarf in binary system. Frictional forces and gravitational forces are responsible to compress and high “temperature” of the material, results with emission of “electromagnetic radiation”. “Accretion disks” of white dwarf radiate in the UV-rays and X-rays wavelength region of spectrum.

At the very end of Wagner's series of operas The Ring of Nibelung, Brunnhilde takes the golden ring form the finger of the dead
Blababa [14]

Answer:

a) 404 m² b) apparent height = 7.5 m

Explanation:

This question is about refraction and total internal refraction.

Here I will take refractive index of air and water

n_{air}=1\\ n_{water}=1.33=4/3

Now let's look at the diagram I have attached here

At some angle A, the light from the ring (yellow point) under water will be totally internally refracted (B = 90°), which means that rays of light (yellow arrow) that make large enough angle A will not be able to escape from the water. Since we assumed that the ring is a point, there will be a critical cone of angle A with the ring at its apex which traces a circle of radius R on the surface of water, which, beyond this radius, no light could escape.

According to snell's law

\frac{sin(B)}{sin(A)} = \frac{n_{water}}{n_{air}} = 4/3

At critical angle B = 90°

\frac{3)}{4}sin(B) = [tex]\frac{3}{4} sin(90^\circ ) = 0.75 = sin(A)

Therefore

A = 48.6^\circ

With this, we can find the radius of the circle (refer to my diagram)

h* tan (A) = R\\R =11.3 m

And with that we can find the area

A = \pi R^2=404\ m^2

Additional Problem

For apparent depth from above, we can think that, since we are accustomed to seeing light at the speed of c in air, our brain interpret light from <em>any</em> source to be traveling at c. This causes light that originated under water, which has the speed of

v_{water} = \frac{c}{n_{water}} = 0.75c

to appear as if it has traveled with the same duration as light with speed c

In order for this to happen our brain perceive shortened length  which is the apparent depth.

To put it in mathematical term

t_{travel}=\frac{h_{apparent}}{v_{water}} =\frac{h}{c}

So we get apparent depth

h_{apparent}=0.75h = 7.5\ m
