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

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) The direction of angular velocity vector of second hand will be along the line going into the plane of dial perpendicular to it.

b )  If the angular acceleration of a rigid body is zero, the angular velocity will remain constant.

c )  If another planet the same size as Earth were put into orbit around the Sun along with Earth  the moment of inertia of the system will increase because the mass of the system increases. Moment of inertia depends upon mass and its distribution around the axis.

d ) Increasing the number of blades on a propeller increases the moment of inertia , because both mass and mass distribution around axis of rotation increases.

e ) It is not possible  that  a body has the same moment of inertia for all possible axes because a body can not remain symmetrical about all axes possible. Sphere has same moment of inertia about all axes passing through its centre.

f ) To maximize the moment of inertia of a flywheel while minimizing its weight, the  shape and distribution of mass should be such that maximum mass of the body may be situated at far end of the body from axis of rotation . So flywheel must have thick outer boundaries and this should be

attached with axis with the help of thin rods .

g ) When the body is rotating at the same place , its translational kinetic   energy is zero but its rotational energy can be increased

at the same place.
