Answer:

d = 4590 m

Explanation:

given,

Speed of ultrasonic wave, v = 1530 m/s

time of the echo, t = 6 s

Let d be the depth of the ocean

now,

total distance travel by the ultrasonic wave = 2 d

we know,

distance = speed x t

2 d = 1530 x 6

d = 1530 x 3

d = 4590 m

Hence, the depth of the ocean floor is equal to d = 4590 m

A 12,000kg. railroad car is traveling at +2m/s when it
ivann1987 [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

The final velocity of the two  railroad cars is 1.09 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Since we are given that the two cars lock together it shows that the collision is inelastic in nature. The final velocity due to inelastic collision is given by  

\mathrm{V}=\frac{V 1 M 1+V 2 M 2}{M 1+M 2}

where

V= Final velocity

M1= mass of the first object in kgs = 12000

M2= mas of the second object in kgs = 10000

V1= initial velocity of the first object in m/s = 2m/s

V2= initial velocity of the second object in m/s = 0 (given at rest)

Substituting the given values in the formula we get

V = 2×12000 + 0x100012000 + 10000= 2400022000= 1.09 m/s  

\mathrm{V}=\frac{2 \times 1200+0 \times 1000}{12000+10000}=\frac{24000}{22000}=1.09 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

Which is the final velocity of the two  railroad cars

Please help :/ The same motor is used in rockets with different masses. The rockets have different accelerations. According to N
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

1. As rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The inverse of the mass of the boat.

Explanation:

1. Newton's second law of motion states;

         F = ma

where F is the force applied, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

Therefore, increasing the mass of a rocket increases its weight which would reduce its acceleration provided that the force is constant. Thus, as rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The slope of the graph can be expressed as;

From Newton's second law,

F = ma

Slope = (Δa) ÷ (ΔF)

Slope = \frac{a}{F}

⇒ \frac{1}{m} = \frac{a}{F}

Therefore, the slope of the graph is the reciprocal of the mass of the boat.

1. If 800 C of electric charge passed through a light bulb in 4 min; what is the mag
9966 [12]

The electric current passing through the bulb would be 3.3A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Electric charge, q = 800C

Time, t = 4 min

           = 4 X 60 sec

           = 240 sec

Electric current, I = ?

We know,

Current  = \frac{Charge}{Time}

On substituting the value we get:

I = \frac{800}{4 X 60} \\\\I = 3.3A

Thus, the electric current passing through the bulb would be 3.3A

An ice skater accelerates backward for 5.0 second to final speed of 12m/s. If the acceleration backward was at a a rate of 1.5m/
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Initial velocity, U = 4.5m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Final velocity, v = 12m/s

Time, t = 5 seconds

Acceleration, a = 1.5m/s²

To find the initial velocity, we would use the first equation of motion.

V = U + at

Where;

V is the final velocity.

U is the initial velocity.

a is the acceleration.

t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

12 = U + 1.5*5

12 = U + 7.5

U = 12 - 7.5

Initial velocity, U = 4.5m/s
