A research vessel is mapping the bottom of the ocean using sonar. It emits a short sound pulse called "ping" downward. The frequ

ency of the sound is 5600 Hz. In water sound propagates at a speed of 1474 m/s. The sound pulse is then reflected back from the bottom of the ocean and it is detected by the vessel 8.88 s after it was emitted. How deep is the ocean just below the vessel?

Answer:

The ocean is 6485.6m deep when measured from the vessel

Explanation:

v=1474m/s

t=8.88s

let d represent distance from the vessel to the ocean bottom.

an echo travels a distance equivalent to 2d, that is to and fro after it reflects from the obstacle.

velocity=\frac{distance}{time}\\ v=\frac{2d}{t} \\vt=2d\\d=\frac{vt}{2}

d=\frac{1474*8.8}{2}

d= 6485.6m

A seesaw pivots as shown in below. What is the net torque about the pivot point?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

2.3 Nm clockwise

Explanation:

Take counterclockwise to be positive and clockwise to be negative.

∑τ = (3 N) (2.5 m) − (7 N) (1.4 m)

∑τ = 7.5 Nm − 9.8 Nm

∑τ = -2.3 Nm

The net torque is 2.3 Nm clockwise.

9. How much work is done when a 15kg box is lifted to a height of 2 meters?
torisob [31]

Answer: W = 294 J

Explanation: Solution:

Work is expressed as the product of force and the distance of the object.

W = Fd        where F = mg

W= Fd

   = mg d

   = 15 kg ( 9.8 m/s²) ( 2m )

   = 294 J
