Answer:

C) 2.24 s

Explanation:

Speed of sound in air at 25 degree = 346 m /s

Speed of sound in sea water = 1533 m/s

Time taken by sound to reach dolphin

= 1000 / 1533 = 0.6523 s

Time taken by sound to reach boatman

1000/ 346

= 2.89 s

Difference

= 2.89 - .6523

= 2.24 s

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

2577 K

Explanation:

Power radiated , P = σεAT⁴ where σ = Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 5.6704 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴, ε = emissivity of bulb filament = 0.8, A = surface area of bulb = 30 mm² = 30 × 10⁻⁶ m² and T = operating temperature of filament.

So, T = ⁴√(P/σεA)

Since P = 60 W, we substitute the vales of the variables into T. So,

T = ⁴√(P/σεA)

= ⁴√(60 W/(5.6704 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴ × 0.8 × 30 × 10⁻⁶ m²)

= ⁴√(60 W/(136.0896 × 10⁻¹⁴ W/K⁴)

= ⁴√(60 W/(13608.96 × 10⁻¹⁶ W/K⁴)

= ⁴√(0.00441 × 10¹⁶K⁴)

= 0.2577 × 10⁴ K

= 2577 K

a 1 m length of string is wrapped around a solid disk, of mass .25 kg and a radius of .30m, mounted on a frictionless axle. the
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

60 rad/s

Explanation:

∑τ = Iα

Fr = Iα

For a solid disc, I = ½ mr².

Fr = ½ mr² α

α = 2F / (mr)

α = 2 (20 N) / (0.25 kg × 0.30 m)

α = 533.33 rad/s²

The arc length is 1 m, so the angle is:

s = rθ

1 m = 0.30 m θ

θ = 3.33 rad

Use constant acceleration equation to find ω.

ω² = ω₀² + 2αΔθ

ω² = (0 rad/s)² + 2 (533.33 rad/s²) (3.33 rad)

ω = 59.6 rad/s

Rounding to one significant figure, the angular velocity is 60 rad/s.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Autotrophs

Explanation:

When you go down a food chain continuing to ask "what does it eat?" the last living thing that you will land upon is an autotroph.

Autotrophs are the primary producers as they (photoautotrophs) use the energy either from the sun to prepare  there food by the process of photosynthesis or, more rarely, obtain chemical energy through oxidation (chemoautotrophs) to make organic substances from inorganic ones.

Autotrophs get consumed by the primary consumers in the food chain.
