Answer:
Explanation:
d = Distance traveled = 40.8 km
s = Speed of jet = 340 m/s
Time is given by
The time taken to complete the journey is .
Since the Earth is almost spherical in shape, we are actually to find first the volume of the spherical segment at a depth of 1,000 m. The radius of the Earth is 6,371,000 meters. The volume of a spherical segment is:
V = 1/3*πh²(3r - h)
Substituting the values and making sure the units is in mm,
V = 1/3*π(1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)²[3(6,371,000 m * 1000 mm/1 m) - (1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)]
V = 2×10²² mm³
Thus, the total amount of bacteria is:
2×10²² mm³ * 100 bacteria/1 mm³ = 2×10²⁴ bacteria
While the answer is that it does, it transmits light VERY poorly. Most of the light bounces off it and the rest is refracted into the ocean. This is why you can't see much that is far away from you in the ocean unlike if you're just on land.
