A ship sends out a pulse of sound and receives an echo back one second later. If the water is 750m deep, what is the speed of so

und in water?

Answer:

1500 m/s

Explanation:

The sound wave travels 750 meters from the ship to the bottom of the water, then 750 meters back to the ship. So it travels a total distance of 1500 meters in 1 second.

So the average speed is:

v = 1500 m / 1 s

v = 1500 m/s

Mass of a body is 210g and its density is 7.981g/cm^3 what will be its volume with regard to significant figures

aleksandrvk [35]

Density is mass per unit volume,

$\rho=\dfrac mV$

so to get the volume, divide the mass by the density,

$V=\dfrac m\rho$

So the volume is

$\dfrac{210\,\mathrm g}{7.981\frac{\rm g}{\mathrm{cm}^3}}\approx26.312\,\mathrm{cm}^3\approx\boxed{26\,\mathrm{cm}^3}$

A 27.0-m steel wire and a 48.0-m copper wire are attached end to end and stretched to a tension of 145 N. Both wires have a radi

algol13

Answer:

The time taken by the wave to travel along the combination of two wires is 458 ms.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of steel wire= 27.0 m

Length of copper wire = 48.0 m

Tension = 145 N

Radius of both wires = 0.450 mm

Density of steel wire $\rho_{s}= 7.86\times10^{3}\ kg/m^{3}$

Density of copper wire $\rho_{c}=8.92\times10^{3}\ kg/m^3$

We need to calculate the linear density of steel wire

Using formula of linear density

$\mu_{s}=\rho_{s}A$

$\mu_{s}=\rho_{s}\times\pi r^2$

Put the value into the formula

$\mu_{s}=7.86\times10^{3}\times\pi\times(0.450\times10^{-3})^2$

$\mu_{s}=5.00\times10^{-3}\ kg/m$

We need to calculate the linear density of copper wire

Using formula of linear density

$\mu_{c}=\rho_{s}A$

$\mu_{c}=\rho_{s}\times\pi r^2$

Put the value into the formula

$\mu_{c}=8.92\times10^{3}\times\pi\times(0.450\times10^{-3})^2$

$\mu_{c}=5.67\times10^{-3}\ kg/m$

We need to calculate the velocity of the wave along the steel wire

Using formula of velocity

$v_{s}=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_{s}}}$

$v_{s}=\sqrt{\dfrac{145}{5.00\times10^{-3}}}$

$v_{s}=170.3\ m/s$

We need to calculate the velocity of the wave along the steel wire

Using formula of velocity

$v_{c}=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_{c}}}$

$v_{c}=\sqrt{\dfrac{145}{5.67\times10^{-3}}}$

$v_{c}=159.9\ m/s$

We need to calculate the time taken by the wave to travel along the combination of two wires

$t=t_{s}+t_{c}$

$t=\dfrac{l_{s}}{v_{s}}+\dfrac{l_{c}}{v_{c}}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{27.0}{170.3}+\dfrac{48.0}{159.9}$

$t=0.458\ sec$

$t=458\ ms$

Hence, The time taken by the wave to travel along the combination of two wires is 458 ms.

You're driving down the highway late one night at 21 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 35 m in front of you. Your reaction tim

andreev551 [17]

Speed with which initially car is moving is 21 m/s

Reaction time = 0.50 s

distance traveled in the reaction time d = v t

d = 21 * 0.50 = 10.5 m

deceleration after this time = -10 m/s^2

now the distance traveled by the car after applying bakes

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2a d$

$0 - 21^2 = 2(-10)d$

$d = 22.05 m$

so total distance moved before it stop

d = 22.05 + 10.5 = 32.55 m

so the distance from deer is 35 - 32.55 = 2.45 m

now to find the maximum speed with we can move we will assume that we will just touch the deer when we stop

so our distance after brakes are applied is d = 35 - 10.5 = 24.5 m

again by kinematics

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 ad$

$0 - v^2 = 2(-10)(24.5)$

$v = 22.1 m/s$

so maximum speed would be 22.1 m/s
