One way to monitor global warming is to measure the average temperature of the ocean. Researchers are doing this by measuring th

e time it takes sound pulses to travel underwater over large distances. At a depth of 1000 m, where ocean temperatures hold steady near 4∘C, the average sound speed is 1480m/s. It's known from laboratory measurements that the sound speed increases 4.0m/s for every 1.0∘C increase in temperature. In one experiment, where sounds generated near California are detected in the South Pacific, the sound waves travel 7600 km.If the smallest time change that can be reliably detected is 1.0 s, what is the smallest change in average temperature that can be measured?

Answer:

0.07°C

Explanation:

<u>solution:</u>

the speed of a sound in water is<u>:</u>

v(T)=1480+4(T-4°C)

<u>at 4°C the travel time is:</u>

t(4◦C) = ( 7600 × 103 m ) / (1480 m/s) = 5202.7 s

<u>5°C, the travel time is:</u>

t(5◦C) = ( 7600 × 103 m ) / (1484 m/s) = 5188.7 s

<u>one degree C corresponds to a ∆t of 14 s so temperature difference is:</u>

ΔT=1 s/14 s=0.07◦C

Can someone tell me the answer and the reason
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

(a) the blocks all had different masses.

Explanation:

The surface is smooth, therefore coefficient of friction is tending to zero.

Forces for each blocks varied from 6N to 8N to 7N to 5N

The blocks were made of different materials and different materials are going to have varying weight for the same size of block.

Darya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s.

Given:

distance 'd' = 5 m

L = 12 m

It can be concluded that path difference must be equal to half of the wavelength when person is observing destructive interference'y' at 1 m distance from the equidistant position

Since

λ/2 = yd/L

λ/2 = (1 x 5)/12

λ = 0.833m

Frequency of the sound is given by,

f = v / λ => 343 / 0.833

f=411.6 Hz

In Millikan’s experiment, the oil droplets acquire one or more negative charges by combining with the negative charges that are
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

-9.6\cdot 10^{-19} C

Explanation:

The charge of a single electron is:

q=-1.60\cdot 10^{-19} C

If a droplet contains N electrons, then its charge would be:

Q=Nq

In this case, the droplet has

N = 6

electrons, so its total charge is

Q=(6)(-1.60\cdot 10^{-19}C)=-9.6\cdot 10^{-19} C

If the electrons are attracted more by the nucleus because of an additional proton, what would happen to it?
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

orbital speed of the electrons in their orbit will increase

Explanation:

As we know that centripetal force for electrons will be due to electrostatic attraction force of electron.

So it is given as

F_e = F_c

so we have

\frac{(Ze)(e)}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2} = \frac{mv^2}{r}

now on the left side if the force of attraction will increase and hence there must be the change in that part of equation

So here at the same position the speed of the electron

So we can say that correct answer will be

orbital speed of the electrons in their orbit will increase
