Sonar is used to locate objects underwater by measuring the time it takes an ultrasound sound pulse to reflect back to the recei

ver. An oceanic depth-sounding vessel surveys the ocean bottom with ultrasonic sound that travels 1530 m/s in seawater. Find the depth of the water if the time delay of the echo to the ocean floor and back is 8 seconds.

Answer:

The floor of the ocean is 6120 m deep.

Explanation:

In order to find the depth of the ocean we need to use the speed of the ultrasonic sound 1530 m/s and the time it takes for the echo to comeback. Since the wave is transmitted by the vessel goes to the bottom of the ocean and comeback, it travels the distance between the vessel and the floor two times, so we can divide the time by two. We then have:

D = V*t/2 = 1530*8/2 = 1530*4 = 6120 m

A 600-g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant k =190.0 N/m. The block becomes attached to t
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Work done will be 2.205 j

Explanation:

We have given that the spring is compressed b 37.5 cm

So d = 0.375 m

Mass of the block m = 600 gram = 0.6 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

Gravitational force on the block F=mg=0.6\times 9.8=5.88N

Now we know that work done is give by W=Fd=5.88\times 0.375=2.205J

At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 58.0N at the sur
kvasek [131]

Answer: A) mass on earth surface = 5.91kg

B) mass on surface of jupiter = 5.91kg

C) weight on surface of jupiter = 10.697N

Explanation:

The relationship between weight (W), mass (m) and acceleration due gravity (g) is given below

W=mg

From the question, g= 9.8m/s² and weight on the surface on the earth is 58N

A) The mass of watermelon on earth is

m = 58/ 9.8 = 5.91kg

B) the mass of the watermelon on jupiter is 5.91kg.

You will notice this is the same as the mass of watermelon on earth and that is so because mass is a scalar quantity that does not depends on the distance away from the center of the earth (unlike weight which is a vector) thus making it constant all through any location.

C) mass of watermelon is 5.91kg, g=9.8m/s² weight of watermelon on jupiter is given below as

W = mg

W = 5.91 x 9.8

= 10.697N.

Assume an axon has an internal diameter of 1μm and a myelin sheath 1μm thick. The internal specific resistance is 100 Ω cm. For
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

1.27\times 10^{12}\Omega/m

Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter=d=\mu m

Thickness=1\mu m

Radius=r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\mu m=0.5\times 10^{-6} m

Using 1\mu m=10^{-6} m

Dielectric constant=8

Resistance =R=2\times 10^5\Omega cm^2

Internal specific resistance=r=100 ohm cm=100\times \frac{1}{100}\Omega-m=1\Omega m

Using 1 m=100 cm

Internal resistance per unit length=\frac{r}{A}=\frac{1}{\pi r^2}=\frac{1}{3.14\times (0.5\times 10^{-6})^2}=1.27\times 10^{12}\Omega/m

Using \pi=3.14

Internal resistance per unit length=1.27\times 10^{12}\Omega/m
