When the sound wave returns to the machine, you can measure
how long it took to return. 

(You may notice that it's working just like RADAR, which does the
same thing with radio waves instead of sound waves.)

Even if you know how long the sound took to get to the bottom and
return to the top, you can't DO anything with this information if you
don't know the SPEED of the sound through the water.  Not only
the inventory of this machine, but anyone who uses it, has to know
the speed of the sound through water in order to use the round-trip
time to calculate the depth.

Each driver has mass 79.0 kg. Including the masses of the drivers, the total masses of the vehicles are 800 kg for the car and 4
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Force exerted on the car driver by the seatbelt = 8139.4 N = 8.14 kN

Force exerted on the truck driver by the seatbelt = 1628.2 N = 1.63 kN

It is evident that the driver of the smaller vehicle has it worse. The car driver is in way more danger in this perfectly inelastic head-on collision with a bigger vehicle (the truck).

Explanation:

First of, we calculate the velocity of the vehicles after collision using the law of conservation of Momentum

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

Since the collision of the two vehicles was described as a head-on collision, for the sake of consistent convention, we will take the direction of the velocity of the bigger vehicle (the truck) as the positive direction and the direction of the car's velocity automatically is the negative direction.

Velocity of the truck before collision = 6.80 m/s

Velocity of the car before collision = -6.80 m/s

Let the velocity of the inelastic unit of vehicles after collision be v

Momentum before collision = (4000)(6.80) + (800)(-6.80) = 27200 - 5440 = 21,760 kgm/s

Momentum after collision = (4000 + 800)(v) = (4800v) kgm/s

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

21760 = 4800v

v = (21760/4800)

v = 4.533 m/s (in the direction of the big vehicle (the truck)

So, we then apply Newton's second law of motion which explains that the magnitude change in momentum is equal to the magnitude of impulse.

|Impulse| = |Change in momentum|

But Impulse = (Force exerted on each driver by the seatbelt) × (collision time) = (F×t)

Change in momentum = (Momentum after collision) - (Momentum before collision)

So, for the driver of the truck

Initial velocity = 6.80 m/s (the driver moves with the velocity of the truck)

Final velocity = 4.533 m/s

Change in momentum of the truck driver = (79)(6.80) - (79)(4.533) = 179.1 kgm/s

(F×t) = 179.1

F × 0.110 = 179.1

F = (179.1/0.11)

F = 1628.2 N = 1.63 kN

So, for the driver of the car

Initial velocity = -6.80 m/s (the driver moves with the velocity of the car)

Final velocity = 4.533 m/s

Change in momentum of the car driver = (79)(-6.80) - (79)(4.533) = -895.3 kgm/s

(F×t) = |-895.3|

F × 0.110 = 895.3

F = (895.3/0.11)

F = 8139.4 N = 8.14 kN

Hope this Helps!!!

A sled of mass 2.12 kg has an initial speed of 5.49 m/s across a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between
Darya [45]

Answer:

The speed of the sled is 3.56 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 2.12 kg

Initial speed = 5.49 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.229

Distance = 3.89 m

We need to calculate the acceleration of sled

Using formula of acceleration

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

Where, F = frictional force

m = mass

Put the value into the formula

a=\dfrac{\mu mg}{m}

a=\mu g

a=0.229\times9.8

a=2.244\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the speed of the sled

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2-2as

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance

Put the value in the equation

v ^2=(5.49)^2-2\times2.244\times3.89

v=\sqrt{(5.49)^2-2\times2.244\times3.89}

v=3.56\ m/s

Hence, The speed of the sled is 3.56 m/s.

What is all cells in a body that arent formed in a reproductive organ???
vovangra [49]

Explanation:

An organ is made of several types of tissue and therefore several types of cells. For example, the heart contains muscle tissue that contracts to pump blood, fibrous tissue that makes up the heart valves, and special cells that maintain the rate and rhythm of heartbeats.
