The correct answer is:
Work is negative, the environment did work on the object, and the energy of the system decreases.
In fact, the work-energy theorem states that the work done by the system is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:

In this problem, the variation of kinetic energy
is negative (because the final velocity is less than the initial velocity), so the work is negative, and this means that the environment did work on the object, and its energy decreased.
Answer:
d = 4180.3m
wavelengt of sound is 0.251m
Explanation:
Given that
frequency of the sound is 5920 Hz
v=1485m/s
t=5.63s
let d represent distance from the vessel to the ocean bottom.
an echo travels a distance equivalent to 2d, that is to and fro after it reflects from the obstacle.


wavelengt of sound is
= v/f
= (1485)/(5920)
= 0.251 m
Answer:
0.173 m.
Explanation:
The fundamental frequency of a closed pipe is given as
fc = v/4l .................. Equation 1
Where fc = fundamental frequency of a closed pipe, v = speed of sound l = length of the pipe.
Making l the subject of the equation,
l = v/4fc ................ Equation 2
also
v = 331.5×0.6T ................. Equation 3
Where T = temperature in °C, T = 18.0 °c
Substitute into equation 3
v = 331.5+0.6(18)
v = 331.5+10.8
v = 342.3 m/s.
Also given: fc = 494 Hz,
Substitute into equation 2
l = 342.3/(4×494)
l = 342.3/1976
l =0.173 m.
Hence the length of the organ pipe = 0.173 m.
The answer is A
Explanation: the conservation of matter means that the mass stays the same
