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

What is the concentration of H^ + at apH = 2 ? Mol / L What is the concentration of H^ + ions at apH = 6 ? Mol/L How many more H
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 2 := [H^+]=0.01 mol/L

The concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 6 : [H^+]'=0.000001 mol/L

There are 0.009999 more moles of  H^+ ions in a solution at a pH = 2 than in a solution at a pH = 6.

Explanation:

The pH of the solution is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution.

pH=-\log [H^+]

The hydrogen ion concentration at pH is equal to 2 = [H^+]

2=-\log [H^+]\\

[H^+]=10^{-2}M= 0.01 M=0.01 mol/L

The hydrogen ion concentration at pH is equal to 6 = [H^+]

6=-\log [H^+]\\\\

[H^+]=10^{-6}M= 0.000001 M= 0.000001 mol/L

Concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 2 =[H^+]=0.01 mol/L

Concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 6 = [H^+]'=0.000001 mol/L

The difference between hydrogen ion concentration at pH 2 and pH 6 :

= [H^+]-[H^+]' = 0.01 mol/L- 0.000001 mol/L = 0.009999 mol/L

Moles of hydrogen ion in 0.009999 mol/L solution :

=0.009999 mol/L\times 1 L=0.009999 mol

There are 0.009999 more moles of  H^+ ions in a solution at a pH = 2 than in a solution at a pH = 6.

A 2kg bowling ball rolls at a speed of 5 m/s on a roof of the building that is 40 meters tall. What is the kinetic energy
MrRa [10]
The kinetic energy is \frac 1 2 m v^2 and the height of the building doesn't matter at all.

E = \frac 1 2 m v^2 = \frac 1 2 (2)(5)^2 = 25 joules

A ball thrown horizontally at vi = 30.0 m/s travels a horizontal distance of d = 55.0 m before hitting the ground. from what hei
tekilochka [14]
Assume no air resistance, and g = 9.8 m/s².

Let
x =  angle that the initial velocity makes with the horizontal.
u = 30 cos(x), horizontal velocity
v = 30 sin(x), vertical launch velocity

The horizontal distance traveled is 55 m, therefore the time of flight is
t = 55/[30 cos(x)] = 1.8333 sec(x)  s

With regard to the vertical velocity, and the time of flight,obtain
[30 sin(x)]*(1.8333 sec(x)) + (1/2)*(-9.8)*(1.8333 sec(x))² = 0
 55 tan(x) - 16.469 sec²x = 0
55 tan(x) - 16.469[1 + tan²x] = 0
16.469 tan²x - 55 tan(x) + 16.469 = 0
tan²x - 3.3396 tan(x) + 1 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula.
tan(x) = 0.5[3.3396 +/- √(7.153)] = 3.007 or 0.3326
Therefore
x = 71.6° or x = 18.4°

The time of flight is
t = 1.8333 sec(x) = 5.8096 s or 1.932 s
The initial vertical velocity is
v = 30 sin(x) = 28.467 m/s or 9.468 m/s
The horizontal velocity is
u = 30 cos(x) = 9.467 m/s or 28.469 m/s

If t = 5.8096 s,
  u*t = 9.467*5.8096 = 55 m (Correct)
or
 u*t = 28.469*15.8096 = 165.4 m (Incorrect)

Therefore, reject x = 18.4°. The correct solution is
t = 5.8096 s
x = 71.6°
u = 9.467 m/s
v = 28.467 m/s

The height from which the ball was thrown is
h = 28.467*5.8096 - 0.5*9.8*5.8096² = -110.4 m
The ball was thrown from a height of 110.4 m

Answer: h = 110.4 m
