Answer:

The water is 1310.75 meters deep.

Explanation:

The question gives us the speed of sound and the time the sonar signal takes to travel to the bottom of the water and back.

To find out the distance, we should first divide the time in half, so we only consider the time taken for the sound to reach the bottom of the water body.

This means:

Time = 1.75 / 2 = 0.875 seconds

The distance traveled in this time is:

Distance = Speed * Time

Distance = 1498 * 0.875

Distance = 1310.75 meters    

Thus, the water is 1310.75 meters deep.

A merry-go-round on a playground consists of a horizontal solid disk with a weight
bezimeni [28]

Answer:α = 1.00 rad/s², τ = 90.0 N•m, KEr = 1.12 kJ

Explanation:

m = 795/9.81 = 81.0 kg

ω₁ = 47.79 rev/min(2π rad/rev) / (60 s/min) = 5.00 rad/s

α = (ω₁ - ω₀)/τ = (5.00 - 0.00)/5.00 = 1.00 rad/s²

I = ½mR² = ½(81.0)(1.49²) = 90.0 kg•m²

τ = Iα = 90.0(1.00) = 90.0 N•m

KEr = ½Iω² = ½(90.0)5.00² = 1,124.477 ≈ 1.12 kJ

Two waves have the same frequency. What other characteristic must be the same for these waves?.
madreJ [45]

The wave characteristic that is the same for both waves is wavelength.

  • Two waves with the same frequency will also have the same wavelength, amplitude, speed, and period. When two waves are travelling at the same frequency, it denotes that their duration and amplitude are also the same.
  • When two waves of the same frequency and amplitude interfere constructively, their peaks and troughs align as shown in diagram A above. As a result, the original waves' amplitude is doubled, resulting in a sound wave that is twice as loud.

Thus, Equal frequencies are shared by two waves moving through the same region in the same direction.

A book is thrown downward from the library window with a speed of 2.0 s m and lands on the ground 5.0 m. We can ignore air resis
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

<h3>10.1m/s</h3>

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion v² = u²+2as where;

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration due to gravity

s is the height of fall

Given

u = 2.0m/s

s = 5.0m

g = 9.81m/s²

Required

final velocity of the book in m/s

Substitute the given parameters into the formula;

v² = u²+2as

v² = 2²+2(9.81)(5)

v² = 4+98.1

v² = 102.1

v = √102.1

v = 10.1m/s

<em>Hence the final velocity of the book in m/s is 10.1m/s</em>
