How to calculate depth of sea whan a ship receives sound produced by its fathometer after 3.5 second

Physics
2 answers:
HACTEHA [7]3 years ago

Answer:

2600 m

Explanation:

A fathometer produces a sound wave and then detects the echo.  It takes 3.5 seconds for the echo to reach the ship, so that means it takes half the time (1.75 seconds) to reach the ocean floor.

The speed of sound in seawater is approximately 1500 m/s, so the depth of the ocean at that point is:

d = 1500 m/s × 1.75 s

d = 2625 m

Rounding to two significant figures, the depth is approximately 2600 m.

Answer: the depth is around d = 1.75s*1450m/s = 2537.5 m

Explanation:  A fathometer creates a sound pulse and receives the echo of that sound, and in this way, the instrument can obtain a difference of time (the time between the wave is released and received)

Now, knowing that the velocity of the sound in water is around 1450 m/s

now, the lecture is 3.5 seconds, but in this time the wave goes to the bottom and bounces, so the time needed to reach the bottom is half that:

3.5s/2 = 1.75s

then the distance traveled by the wave in that lapse of time is:

d = 1.75s*1450m/s = 2537.5 m

this is a simplification of the math that the device does.

(b) A piece of wood of volume 0.6 m² floats in water. Find the volume
enot [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the volume below water be v . Then

buoyant force = v d g where d is density of water , g is acceleration due to gravity

= v x 1000 x g

weight of wood piece = volume x density of wood x g

= .6 x 600 x g

for equilibrium while floating

buoyant force = weight

= v x 1000 x g  =  .6 x 600 x g

v = .36 m²

volume above water or volume exposed = .6 - .36

= .24 m²

When immersed completely ,

buoyant force = .6 x 1000 x 9.8

= 5880 N

weight of wood

=  .6 x 600 x g

= 3528 N

buoyant force is more than the weight . In order to equalise them for floating with full volume in water

weight required = 5880 - 3528

= 2352 N.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The population will increase because grasshoppers are the prey.

Explanation:

If there has been a significant decrease in the praying mantis population in recent years. This most likely affect the grasshopper population over time by the population will increase because grasshoppers are the prey. If there is less praying mantis then grasshoppers won't be eaten as much so the population of the grasshoppers will thrive
