A stationary sub uses sonar to send a 1.18x10^3 hertz sound wave through ocean water. The reflected sound wave from the flat oce
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

a) v = 1524.7 m/s

b) T = 8.47*10^-4 s

   λ = 1.29 m

Explanation:

a) First, in order to calculate the speed of the sound wave, you take into account that the velocity is constant, then, you use the following formula:

v=\frac{d}{t}

d: distance traveled by the sound wave, which is twice the distance to the ocean bottom = 2*324 m = 648 m

t: time that sound wave takes to return to the sub = 0.425

v=\frac{648m}{0.425s}=1524.7\frac{m}{s}

hence, the speed of the sound wave is 1524.7 m/s

b) Next, with the value of the velocity of the wave you can calculate the wavelength of the wave, by using the following formula:

v=\lambda f\\\\\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

f: frequency = 1.18*10^3 Hz

\lambda=\frac{1524.7m/s}{1.18*10^3s^{-1}}=1.29m

And the period is:

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{1.18*10^3s^{-1}}=8.47*10^{-4}s

hence, the wavelength and period of the sound wave is, respectively, 1.29m and 8.47*10^-4 s

Would you classify petroleum as a renewable or nonrenewable resource? Justify your answer in two or more complete sentences.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Petroleum is a nonrenewable resource. This being because it is a natural gas that take millions of years for it to reform which means each part of it is a once in a lifetime use.

g Two long parallel wires are a center-to-center distance of 2.50 cm apart and carry equal anti-parallel currents of 2.70 A. Fin
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

864 mT

Explanation:

The magnetic field due to a long straight wire B = μ₀i/2πR where μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m, i = current in wire, and R = distance from center of wire to point of magnetic field.

The magnitude of magnetic field due to the first wire carrying current i = 2.70 A at distance R which is mid-point between the wires is B = μ₀i/2πR.

Since the other wire also carries the same current at distance R, the magnitude of the magnetic field is B = μ₀i/2πR.

The resultant magnetic field at B is B' = B + B = 2B = 2(μ₀i/2πR) = μ₀i/πR

Now R = 2.50 cm/2 = 1.25 cm = 1.25 × 10⁻² m and i = 2.70 A.

Substituting these into B' = μ₀i/πR, we have

B' = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m × 2.70 A/π(1.25 × 10⁻² m)

B = 10.8/1.25 × 10⁻⁵ T

B = 8.64 × 10⁻⁵ T

B = 864 × 10⁻³ T

B = 864 mT
