Answer:

The time taken for the sound wave to make the round trip is 0.16 s.

Explanation:

Given;

distance traveled by the sound wave, d = 120 m

bulk modulus of sea water, B = 2.3 x 10⁹ N/m²

density of sea water, ρ = 1022 kg

The speed of the wave is given by;

v = \sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho} } \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2.3*10^9}{1022} }\\\\v = 1500.16 \ m/s

Speed is given by;

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

total distance of the round trip = 2 x 120m = 240 m

Time taken for the sound wave to make the round trip is given by;

Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed} \\\\Time = \frac{240}{1500.16} \\\\Time = 0.16 \ second

Therefore, the time taken for the sound wave to make the round trip is 0.16 s.

A physics student throws a softball straight up into the air. The ball was in the air for a total of 3.56 s before it was caught
meriva

Answer:

The initial velocity of the softball is 14.711 meters per second.

Explanation:

This is a case of an object which experiments a free fall, that is, an uniform accelerated motion due to gravity and in which effects from air friction and Earth's rotation can be neglected.

From statement we must understand that the student threw the softball upwards and it is caught at original position 3.56 seconds later. Initial and final heights, time and gravitational acceleration are known and initial speed is unknown. The following equation of motion is used:

y = y_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot g \cdot t^{2} (Eq. 1)

Where:

y_{o} - Initial height of the softball, measured in meters.

y - Final height of the softball, measured in meters.

v_{o} - Initial velocity of the softball, measured in meters per second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that y = y_{o}, t = 3.56\,s and g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, the initial velocity of the softball is:

v_{o}\cdot (3\,s)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (3\,s)^{2} = 0

3\cdot v_{o} -44.132\,m= 0

v_{o} = 14.711\,\frac{m}{s}

The initial velocity of the softball is 14.711 meters per second.

A square current-carrying loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field B with the plane of the loop parallel to the magnetic field
Radda [10]

Answer:

(A) a net torque but no net force on the loop.

Explanation:

The total force on the loop is zero because the forces on the opposite sides of the loop are equal but act in opposite directions and as a result they cancel each other out. The two forces on opposite sides to the axis of rotation each give rise to a torque about the axis of rotation. This torque is directed along the axis of rotation.

Molybdenum has the BCC crystal structure, has a density of 10.22 g cm-3 and an atomic mass of 95.94 g mol-1. What is the atomic
puteri [66]

Answer:

atomic concentration = 2 atoms/unit cell

lattice parameter: a= 3.22 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

atomic radius: r= 1.39 x 10⁻¹⁰m

Explanation:

The atomic concentration is the number of atoms that can fit into a unit cell. It is a known number for each unit cell crystal structure. For a BCC (body-centered cube) crystal structure, atomic concentration is 2 atoms/unit cell because there are a 1/8 part of an atom in each corner of the cube (1/8 x 8= 1 atom) and 1 central atom in the central position of the cube ⇒ n= 1 atom + 1 atom= 2 atoms/unit cell

In order to calculate the lattice parameter a, we introduce the atomic mass 95.94 g/mol and the density 10.22 g/cm³ in the expression for the volume of the cube:

Vc= a³= \frac{(95.94 g/mol) x (2 atoms/unit cell)}{(10.2 g/cm^{3}) x (6.023 x 10^{23} atoms/mol)  }

a³= 3.12 x 10⁻²³ m³

⇒ a = ∛(3.12 x 10⁻²³ m³) = 3.22 x 10⁻¹⁰m

Once we know the lattice parameter a, we can calculate the atomic radius r by using the expression of a for a BCC structure:

a= \frac{4r}{\sqrt{3}}

⇒ r= a x √3/4= (3.22 x 10⁻¹⁰ m) x √3/4 = 1.39 x 10⁻¹⁰ m
