Answer:

The water below the vessel is 4590 m deep.

Explanation:

Calling <em>d</em> the distance between the vessel and the ocean floor, <em>v</em> the ultrasonic wave velocity, and <em>t</em> the time it takes for the ultrasonic wave to reach the bottom from the vessel, we get:

[1] d=t*v

<em>v</em> is already provided (1530 m/s), so we need to find <em>t</em>.

We know that the delay of the echo is 6 seconds. That is the time it takes the wave to travel to the ocean floor and come back to the vessel, which is twice the time it takes to go from vessel to the floor, so:

2*t=6s\\t=\frac{6}{2}s

t=3s

Replacing and solving on [1], we get

d=3s*1530\frac{m}{s}\\d=4590m

Which is the distance from the vessel to the ocean floor.

It takes 18 J of energy to move a 0.30 mC charge from one plate of a 15 mF capacitor to the other. How much charge is on each pl
Sonja [21]

The amount of charge on each plate is equal to 0.9 Coulombs.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Work done = 18 J
  • Charge = 0.30 mC
  • Capacitance = 15 mF

To calculate the amount of charge on each plate:

<h3>The formula for work done.</h3>

Mathematically, work done in moving a charge is given by this formula:

W=qV

<u>Note:</u> The work done by an external force equals the change in potential energy for the charges that were moved.

W= \Delta P.E = qV

But, V=\frac{Q}{C}

Now, the work done becomes:

W=q\frac{Q}{C}

Making q the subject of formula, we have:

q=\frac{WC}{Q} \\\\q=\frac{18 \times 15 \times 10^{-6}}{0.3 \times 10^{-3}}

Charge, q = 0.9 Coulombs.
