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

A wave travels at 295 m/s and has a wavelength of 2.50 m. What is the frequency of the wave?
posledela

Answer:

118\; \rm Hz.

Explanation:

The frequency f of a wave is equal to the number of wave cycles that go through a point on its path in unit time (where "unit time" is typically equal to one second.)

The wave in this question travels at a speed of v= 295\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}. In other words, the wave would have traveled 295\; \rm m in each second. Consider a point on the path of this wave. If a peak was initially at that point, in one second that peak would be

How many wave cycles can fit into that 295\; \rm m? The wavelength of this wave\lambda = 2.50\; \rm m gives the length of one wave cycle. Therefore:

\displaystyle \frac{295\;\rm m}{2.50\; \rm m} = 118.

That is: there are 118 wave cycles in 295\; \rm m of this wave.

On the other hand, Because that 295\; \rm m of this wave goes through that point in each second, that 118 wave cycles will go through that point in the same amount of time. Hence, the frequency of this wave would be

Because one wave cycle per second is equivalent to one Hertz, the frequency of this wave can be written as:

f = 118\; \rm s^{-1} = 118\; \rm Hz.

The calculations above can be expressed with the formula:

\displaystyle f = \frac{v}{\lambda},

where

  • v represents the speed of this wave, and
  • \lambda represents the wavelength of this wave.

A centrifuge is a device used to separate materials by their masses. A sample in a centrifuge is rotated at high speeds along a
german

Answer:

 F = 1.047 10⁻² N

Explanation:

Let's use kinematics to find the angular acceleration

             w = w₀ + α t

as for rest w₀ = 0

             w = α t

             α = w / t

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

              w = 1000 rev / min (2π rad/ 1 rev) (1 min/ 60s) = 104.72 rad / s

              m = 1.00 g (1 kg / 1000 g) = 1,000 10⁻³ kg

              r = 10.0 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 0.100 m

let's calculate

              α = 104.72 / 1

              α = 104.72 rad / s²

angular and linear variables are related

               a = α  r

               a = 104.72 0.100

               a = 10.47 m / s²

finally we substitute in Newton's second law

               F = 1 10⁻³ 10.47

               F = 1.047 10⁻² N

The energy transfer diagram represents the energy of a person diving into a pool.
GREYUIT [131]
The answer is A) 1000 J
According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy before an action is always equal to the total energy after the action.
So that is, the total energy is 8000J found as potential energy, 7000J has transformed into kinetic energy, then the thermal energy should be the remaining 1000J.

Hope this helps.

a bicycle uniformly from rest at time t the velocity of the bicycle is v at what time will the bicycle have a velocity of 4v​
sesenic [268]

Here

  • Acceleration and initial velocities are constant.

According to first equation of kinematics.

\\ \sf\longmapsto v=u+at

\\ \sf\longmapsto v=0+at

\\ \sf\longmapsto v=at

\\ \sf\longmapsto v\propto t

  • Time was t at velocity v
  • Time will be 4t at velocity 4v
