Answer:

dg= 942m

Explanation:

given the depth of the granite Us dg = 500m

time between the explosion t = 0.99s

the speed of sound in granite is Vg = 6000m/s

First of all calculate the time it takes the sound waves to travel down through the lake

Vw = dw/t1

t1 = dw/Vw

t1 = 500/1480

t1 = 0.338s.

Let dg be the depth of the granite basin, so the time it takes for the sound to travel down through the granite is t2 = dg/6000m/s......equation(1)

So the total time it takes to travel down to the oil surface will be

t1/2 = t1 + t2

t1/2=  0.338 + dg/6000.

since the reflection on the oil does not change the speed of sound, the sound will take travelling upto the surface the same time it takes to reach the oil

so; t = 2 t1/2

t1/2 = t/2 = 0.99s/2 = 0.495

Now insert into the values of t1/2 into the equation (1) and solve for dg;

we get 0.495 = 0.338 + dg/6000

dg = (0.495 - 0.338) x 6000

dg = 942m.

Answer:

d(g) = 642m

Explanation:

Given the following data

Depth of the granite d(g) = 500m, the time within the explosion (t) = 0.99secs.

From the fixed parameters, Speed of sound of granite = 1600m/s and speed of sound in water = 1480m/s.

Since it takes 0.99secs time of echo after exploding dynamite at the lake surface at 500m deep lake water, we have to calculate the time it takes for the sound wave to travel down the water

T(w) =  d(w)/V(w) = 500/1480

T(w) = 0.388secs

d(g) is the Depth of the granite and we calculate this as

T(2) = d(g)/6000

Therefore, the total time it takes for oil to flow down is given as

To = T(1)+T(2) = 0.388+d(g)/6000....1

Since the reflection of the oil doesn't change speed of the sound, we have that T = 2To

To = t/2 = 0.99/2

To = 0.495secs

Now, we plug in the values into equation 1

0.495 = 0.388+d(g)/6000

0.495-0.388 = d(g)/6000

0.107×6000 = d(g)

d(g) = 642m

What are possible units for impulse? Check all that apply.
Neporo4naja [7]

Units of impulse: N • s, kg • meters per second

Explanation:

Impulse is defined in two ways:

1)

Impulse is defined as the product between the force exerted in a collision and the duration of the collision:

I=F\Delta t

where

F is the force

\Delta t is the time interval

Since the force is measured in Newtons (N) and the time is measured in seconds (s), the units for the impulse are

[I] = [N][s]

So,

N • s

2)

Impulse is also defined as the change in momentum experienced by an object:

I=\Delta p

where the change in momentum is given by

\Delta p = m\Delta v

where m is the mass and \Delta v is the change in velocity.

The mass is measured in kilograms (kg) while the change in velocity is measured in metres per second (m/s), therefore the units for impulse are

[I]=[kg][m/s]

so,

kg • meters per second

Faraday's Law states that the negative of the time rate of change of the flux of the magnetic field through a surface is equal t
MrRa [10]

Answer:

(C). The line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop

Explanation:

Faraday's law states that induced emf is directly proportional to the time rate of change of magnetic flux.

This can be written mathematically as;

EMF = -\frac{\delta \phi _B}{\delta t}

(\frac{\delta \phi _B}{\delta t} ) is the rate of change of the magnetic flux through a surface bounded by the loop.

ΔФ = BA

where;

ΔФ is change in flux

B is the magnetic field

A is the area of the loop

Thus, according to Faraday's law of electric generators

∫BdL = \frac{\delta \phi _B}{\delta t} = EMF

Therefore, the line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop is equal to the negative of the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the area enclosed by the loop.

The correct option is "C"

(C). The line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop
