Answer: depth = 3.75 m

Explanation:

Taken the speed of the sound in sea to be V = 1500 m/s

The time between an echo sounder sending and receiving a pulse is 0.005 s. That is,

Total time T = 0.005

Formula for echo is:

V = 2X/T

Where X = distance covered

Substitute V and T into the formula

1500 = 2X/0.005

Cross multiply

7.5 = 2X

Make X the subject of formula

X = 7.5/2

X = 3.75 m

Therefore, the depth of the sea is 3.75 m

A 90 kg man stands in a very strong wind moving at 17 m/s at torso height. As you know, he will need to lean in to the wind, and
victus00 [196]

Answer:

a)  t=195.948N.m

b)  \phi=13.6 \textdegree

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Density \rho=1.225kg/m^2

Velocity of wind v=14m/s

Dimension of rectangle:50 cm wide and 90 cm

Drag coefficient \mu=2.05

a)

Generally the equation for Force is mathematically given by

F=\frac{1}{2}\muA\rhov^2

F=\frac{1}{2}2.05(50*90*\frac{1}{10000})*1.225*17^2

F=163.29

Therefore Torque

t=F*r*sin\theta

t=163.29*1.2*sin90

t=195.948N.m

b)

Generally the equation for torque due to weight is mathematically given by

t=d*Mg*sin90

Where

d=sin \phi

Therefore

t=sin \phi*Mg*sin90

195.948=833sin \phi

\phi=sin^{-1}\frac{195.948}{833}

\phi=13.6 \textdegree

At which position is the LOWEST potential energy?
Ad libitum [116K]
The answer is position 3, because it is at its lowest point.

Potential Energy is “stored energy.” It is energy that is ready to be converted or released as another type of energy. We most often think of potential energy as gravitational potential energy. When objects are higher up, they are ready to fall back down. When you stretch an object and it has a tendency to return to its original shape, it is said to have elastic potential energy. Chemical potential energy is the stored energy in a substance’s chemical structure that can be released in a chemical reaction or as heat.

As ice melts, more sunlight is absorbed. As more sunlight is absorbed, the atmosphere heats up. As the atmosphere heats up, more
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: Conduction

Explanation: As ice melts,more sunlight is absorbed,as more sunlight is absorbed,the atmosphere heats up,as the atmosphere heats up,more ice melts. This whole process is known as CONDUCTION.

Conduction occurs when there is different temperature between two materials, when there exist a transfer energy(i.e transfer from higher-energy atoms in the hot region to the lower-energy atoms in the cold region). When the atmosphere is heated up due to sunlight,there is a rise in temperature which makes the ice to melt due to transfer of warmth it absorbed from sunlight.
