Answer: A device records the time it takes sound waves to travel from the surface to the ocean floor and back again. Sound waves travel through water at a known speed. Once scientists know the travel time of the wave, they can calculate the distance to the ocean floor.

Answer:

Sonar can be used to measure how deep the ocean is. A device records the time it takes sound waves to travel from the surface to the ocean floor and back again. Sound waves travel through water at a known speed. Once scientists know the travel time of the wave, they can calculate the distance to the ocean floor.

Maslowich

Answer:

mass of box 1 = 2.20 kg

mass of box 2 = 5.93 kg

Explanation:

Let the mass of box 1 and box 2 is respectively

$m_1$ and $m_2$

so we will have

Force applied on box 1 then acceleration

$a = \frac{F}{m_1 + m_2}$

$1.50 = \frac{12.2}{m_1 + m_2}$

$m_1 + m_2 = 8.13$

Now we know that contact force between them in above case is given as

$F_n = m_2a$

$8.90 = m_2(1.5)$

$m_2 = 5.93 kg$

now we have

$m_1 = 2.20 kg$

A positive point charge Q is located at x=a and a negative point charge −Q is at x=−a. A positive charge q can be placed anywher

Scilla [17]

Answer:

$\vec{F}_x = \frac{2KQqa}{(a^2 + y^2)^{3/2}} \^x$

Explanation:

The Coulomb's Law gives the force by the charges:

$\vec{F} = K\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}\^r$

Let us denote the positon of the charge q on the y-axis as 'y'.

The force between 'Q' and'q' is

$F_1 = K\frac{Qq}{x^2 + y^2}\\F_1_x = F_1\cos(\theta)$

where Θ is the angle between $F_1$ and x-axis.

$F_1_x = K\frac{Qq}{x^2 + y^2}(\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}}) = \frac{KQqa}{(a^2 + y^2)^{3/2}}$

whereas

$F_2_x = K\frac{-Qq}{a^2 + y^2}(-\frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + y^2}}) = \frac{KQqa}{(a^2 + y^2)^{3/2}}$

Finally, the x-component of the net force is

$\vec{F}_x = \frac{2KQqa}{(a^2 + y^2)^{3/2}} \^x$
