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

The difference in outcome between the potential energy in a marshmallow burned over a campfire on the end of a stick and in one
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

How fast and efficient the energy is released.

Explanation:

Before burning the marshmallow energy is stored in it in the form of chemical bond energy or chemical potential energy. So upon burning this energy is released. So there will be a difference in energy release from a burned marshmallow and the one we eat straight from package.

Consider horizontal parallel plates with a fixed potential difference. The upper plate has a voltage difference of 30 V with the
BlackZzzverrR [31]

relation between potential difference and electric field is given as

E . d = \Delta V

so here we know that

d = 3 cm

\Delta V = 30 V

E \times 0.03 = 30

E = 1000 N/C

So now when plates are separated to 4 cm distance carefully

the potential difference between them will change but the electric field between them will remain constant

So at distance of 4 cm also the electric field will be E = 1000 N/C
