A scientist uses a variable frequency microphone/speaker system (sonar) to measure the depth of water. In freshwater (were sound

travels at 1490 m/s) and 120 Hz sound is sent from a stationary ship to the bottom of a deep lake and the time interval between the generation and detection of the echo takes 1.14 seconds.
What is the distance from the ship to the bottom of the lake?

Write an essay on basketball history and how the game has changed over time
jarptica [38.1K]

Basket ball has gone through some changes and hence got into shape as what we play or watch nowadays. Overall rules have the same fundamental principles as set in 1891 by the founder of this game.

December 21st, in 1891, the introductory basketball game was played in Springfield, Massachusetts. It was first brought into shape by a Canadian-by birth, Dr. James Naismith. The basic idea of the new game was to keep the sports loving students in shape during the winters or in between the outdoor game seasons.

'The basket ball' which had a set of thirteen basic rules set up a strong foundation to the game and still played almost in the same style with few modifications.In the very year of 1891, after mixing and changing theme of several other played games of those days, basket ball was born.

Initially, basket ball with the 13 rules was played with 2 peach baskets setup as goals, which now a days are the baskets on a high poles although modified but with same basic idea. In the very first game played in Springfield, the set of players were able to score a single point only, in the whole game.

By comparing Naismith’s basketball and basketball of today we see a characteristic of the original game which had no dribbling, instead a player had to pass the ball to a another player of his team ,from his the very spot where he caught it. The second thing which has now changed is the fouls, in the original game if any team made 3 consecutive foul play ,the oponent received a goal in reward. Although this scoring technique doesn't exist in the modern basketball. Rather nowadays, if any team makes five fouls in one quarter, the offending team is in the penalty ,and shoot free throws are awarded against them.

All other rules are quiet intact in the modern play as well. As the game today,has extended to over 2 hundered countries and enjoyed by many on television screens, with modern umpiring and technologies being used in the game, but the original idea of the founder is still endured.

Why does helium have more spectral lines than hydrogen?
Lynna [10]

<span>This is because Helium has two valence electrons compared to Hydrogen which has only one. Helium has more energy levels for an electron to jump thus more spectral lines to occur. The spectral lines relating to each change of energy level would be more grouped together and hence the greater chance of them falling in the visible range.</span>

I NEED HELP ASAP!!! 100 points if you answer these 7 questions:
netineya [11]

Answer:

#1. B. Alfred Wegener

#2. C. Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom.

#3. B, C. Continental, Sea floor (oceanic).

#4. B. Folding

#5. B. Tectonics

#6. C. Point underground where the earthquake starts

#7. C. Flood waters carrying away soil

Explanation:

#1. Alfred Lothar Wegener was a German polar researcher, geophysicist and meteorologist. During his lifetime he was primarily known for his achievements in meteorology and as a pioneer of polar research, and is also known as the father of plate tectonics.

#2. The most prominent feature of ocean topography discovered in the 1960s was: Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom. The continents have always been in their current positions.

#3. Tectonic plates are composed of oceanic lithosphere and thicker continental lithosphere, each topped by its own kind of crust. The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic tectonic plates.

#4. Tremendous pushing forces exerted by two of Earth's plates moving together squeezed rock layers from opposite sides. This caused the rock layers to buckle and fold, forming folded mountains. Folded mountains are mountains formed by the folding of rock layers caused by compression forces.

#5. Plate tectonics is the scientific theory explaining the movement of the earth's crust. It is widely accepted by scientists today. Recall that both continental landmasses and the ocean floor are part of the earth's crust, and that the crust is broken into individual pieces called tectonic plates.

#6. The hypocenter is the point within the earth where an earthquake rupture starts. The epicenter is the point directly above it at the surface of the Earth. Also commonly termed the focus. See also epicenter.

#7. This process is known as erosion. In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transports it to another location.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!

17. (a) Will the electric field strength between two parallel conducting plates exceed the breakdown strength for air ( 3.0×106
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance between plates d = 2 x 10⁻³m

Potential diff applied = 5 x 10³ V

Electric field = Potential diff applied /  d

= 5 x 10³  / 2 x 10⁻³

= 2.5 x 10⁶ V/m

This is less than  breakdown strength for air  3.0×10⁶ V/m

b ) Let the plates be at a separation of d .so

5 x 10³ / d = 3.0×10⁶ ( break down voltage )

d = 5 x 10³  / 3.0×10⁶

= 1.67 x 10⁻³ m

= 1.67 mm.
