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

Starting from your campsite you walk 3.0 km east, 6.0 km north, 1.0 km east, and then 4.0 km west. How far are you from your cam
Hatshy [7]
Think of it like a graph. You start at the origin which is (0,0).  go three to the east which now you are (3,0). Then, six to the north. Now, you are at (3,6).  1 to the east, ((4,6).  Then you go 4 to the west which is back tracking. So, you end at (0,6) which is saying you are now 6 km north from your campsite. 

Hope this helps!

A water wheel rotates with a period of 2.26 s. If the water wheel has a radius of l.94 m,
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The correct answer is B)

Explanation:

When a wheel rotates without sliding, the straight-line distance covered by the wheel's center-of-mass is exactly equal to the rotational distance covered by a point on the edge of the wheel.  So given that the distances and times are same, the translational speed of the center of the wheel amounts to or becomes the same as the rotational speed of a point on the edge of the wheel.

The formula for calculating the velocity of a point on the edge of the wheel is given as

V_{r} = 2π r / T

Where

π is Pi which mathematically is approximately 3.14159

T is period of time

Vr is Velocity of the point on the edge of the wheel

The answer is left in Meters/Seconds so we will work with our information as is given in the question.

Vr = (2 x 3.14159 x 1.94m)/2.26

Vr = 12.1893692/2.26

Vr = 5.39352619469

Which is approximately 5.39

Cheers!

Why is it not possible to achieve a higher resolution in the light microscope?.
Rudiy27

Higher resolution cannot be achieved with a light microscope because wavelength of light is larger that wavelength of electrons.

<h3>What is light microscope?</h3>

Light microscope is defined as the type of microscope that makes use of visible light to magnify objects into images that can be observed.

The wavelength of light is larger than that of the electrons, therefore, higher resolution cannot be achieved with a light microscope.

A kite suspended in the sky is flowing back and forth. Which type of friction is being described?
Mice21 [21]

The type of friction of a kite suspended in the sky that is flowing back and forth is fluid friction. The fluid here is the air that helps the kite move back and forth. The kite feels a drag force due to air which acts in the upward direction.
