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.

The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one celsius degree is called a
Elena L [17]

The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one celsius degree is called a calorie.

<h3>How can you define calorie?</h3>

In physics, we can define it as a unit of measurement that defines the amount of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram  of water by 1°C. Each material has its unique calorie, however by definition we use water as it is the lowest of all the elements.

Normally, calorimetry is directly linked with the thermal capacity that an element has to contain heat.

A baseball of mass 300-g is hit at a velocity of 40 m/s. If the ball is caught by the third baseman and the ball penetrates 2.0
OlgaM077 [116]

The force is -12,000 N

Explanation:

First of all, we calculate the acceleration of the ball, by using the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where:

v = 0 is the final velocity of the baseball (it comes to rest)

u = 40 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s = 2.0 cm = 0.02 m is the displacement of the ball

Solving for a,

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{0-40^2}{2(0.02)}=-40,000 m/s^2

Now we can calculate the average force exerted on the ball, by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

m = 300 g = 0.3 kg is the mass of the ball

a=-40,000 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Substituting,

F=(0.3)(-40,000)=-12,000 N

where the negative sign indicates that the direction of the force is opposite to the direction of motion of the ball.

Answer:

It's probably the Redshift and Blueshift

Explanation:

The light shifting towards shorter or longer wavelengths as objects in space (stars or galaxies) move closer or farther away from us. This phenomenon is known as the Redshifts and Blueshifts. The concept indicates us that the Universe is expanding.

Hope this helps you!
