Answer:

Sonar

Explanation:

Sonar is a technique that involves the use of sounds in viewing substances in a water medium to aid movement or communication. It makes use of the advantage of sound waves traveling faster and farther in water when compared to other types of waves such as light waves.

During World War II, the military employed the use of SONAR in imaging the seafloor by sending pulses of sound waves down through the water and measuring the time it took for the sound to bounce off the seafloor and return to the receiver.

Is it possible for a car to be accelerating to the west while it is driving to the east?
Ber [7]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

If the acceleration has an opposite direction to the velocity of the car, this means that it is opposed to is motion. Therefore, it is called deceleration, since the car's velocity will decrease until it stops and then will start it moving towards the west.

A pair of narrow slits, separated by 1.8 mm, is illuminated by a monochromatic light source. Light waves arrive at the two slits
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

750 nm

Explanation:

d  = separation of the slits = 1.8 mm = 0.0018 m

λ = wavelength of monochromatic light

D  = screen distance = 4.8 m

y = position of first bright fringe = \frac{1cm}{5 fringe} = \frac{0.01}{5} = 0.002 m

n  = order = 1

Position of first bright fringe is given as

y = \frac{nD\lambda }{d}

0.002 = \frac{(1)(4.8)\lambda }{0.0018}

λ = 7.5 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 750 nm

A 2000 g of C 14 is left to decay radioactively the half-life of Corbin 14 is approximately 5700 years what fraction of that sam
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

  1/8

Explanation:

17,100 years is 3 times the half-life of 5,700 years. After each half-life, half remains, so the amount remaining after 3 half-lives is ...

  (1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8

1/8 of the sample remains after 17,100 years.

Halleys comet has period of 75.3 years. Using Kepler’s third law, find it’s semimajor axis expressed in astronomical units?
natta225 [31]

Answer: 17.83 AU

Explanation:

According to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion <em>“The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.  </em>

T^{2}\propto a^{3}  (1)

Talking in general, this law states a relation between the <u>orbital period</u> T of a body (moon, planet, satellite, comet) orbiting a greater body in space with the <u>size</u> a of its orbit.

However, if T is measured in <u>years</u>, and a is measured in <u>astronomical units</u> (equivalent to the distance between the Sun and the Earth: 1AU=1.5(10)^{8}km), equation (1) becomes:

T^{2}=a^{3}  (2)

This means that now both sides of the equation are equal.

Knowing T=75.3years and isolating a from (2):

a=\sqrt[3]{T^{2}}=T^{2/3}  (3)

a=(75.3years)^{2/3}  (4)

Finally:

a=17.83AU  (5)

Im sorry i dont understand pls helpp -w-
rodikova [14]
Temperature is related to a physical change of a substance because it determines the state of the object via cooling, heating or freezing. To make the concept clear, hear are some examples:-
1. Chocolate melts and turns into liquid form. This is a physical change
2. Water freezes via cooling and forms ice which is in a solid state. This is another physical change

Hope this helped and have a nice day : )
