A boat sounds a fog horn on a day when both the sea water and the air temperature are 25.0° C. The speed of sound in sea water i

s 1,533 m/s. How much earlier (in s) does a dolphin 1000 m from the source hear the sound than a person in a boat that is also 1000 m distant? (Ignore the time it takes the sound to reach the water surface.) Please show work/ explanations
(A) 0.652
(B) 2.12
(C) 2.24
(D) 2.77
(E) 2.90

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

Due to human demand because of its importance to life, the Earth's most precious resource is 
pychu [463]
The answer is variant C because every living organism needs water to survive. A human can live without water only 6 days, after that period the most important organs start to shut down because of the lack of water.

Listening to the radio, you can hear two stations at once. Describe this wave interaction
Sedaia [141]
Actually says Pantazis, since their frequencies are so wildly different, brain waves don’t interfere with radio waves. Even if that was the case, brain waves are so weak, they are hardly measurable at all. For comparison, says Pantazis, “the magnetic field of the earth is just strong enough to move the needle of a compass. Signals from the brain are a billionth of that strength.”

F all of the energy in a falling object's gravitational potential energy store is transferred to its kinetic energy store by the
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The options are not shown, so let's derive the relationship.

For an object that is at a height H above the ground, and is not moving, the potential energy will be:

U = m*g*H

where m is the mass of the object, and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Now, the kinetic energy of an object can be written as:

K = (1/2)*m*v^2

where v is the velocity.

Now, when we drop the object, the potential energy begins to transform into kinetic energy, and by the conservation of the energy, by the moment that H is equal to zero (So the potential energy is zero) all the initial potential energy must now be converted into kinetic energy.

Uinitial = Kfinal.

m*g*H = (1/2)*m*v^2

v^2 = 2*g*H

v = √(2*g*H)

So we expressed the final velocity (the velocity at which the object impacts the ground) in terms of the height, H.
