Answer:

179.47m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses

u1 and u2 are the initial velocities

v is the final velocity

Substitute

7750(179)+72(230) = (7750+72)v

1,387,250+16560 = 7822v

1,403,810 = 7822v

v = 1,403,810/7822

v= 179.47m/s

Hence the final velocity of the probe is 179.47m/s

If a town was 90 miles away and you travel at 45 mph how long would it take to get there
notka56 [123]

Answer:

t = 2 hours

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance of the town, d = 90 miles

Speed, v = 45 mph

We need to find the time to get there. The speed of an object is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

Where

t is time

t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{90}{45}\\\\t=2\ h

So, the required time is 2 hours.

Radio telescopes beam radio waves into space. To calculate the speed of the radio waves in space, which information, if any, is
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

No more information is needed

Explanation:

Radio waves are electromagnetic energy, lower frequency forms of this type of energy that includes light and cosmic rays on the high frequency end that we are able to detect. So in free space (vacuum), radio waves travel at their fastest velocity, the “speed of light”. The reason for the quotation marks is because when light or radio waves are propagating through matter, we observe them traveling more slowly.

Sperm whales, just like bats, use echolocation to find prey. A sperm whale’s vocal system creates a single sharp click, but the
Tamiku [17]

Answer: The size of the whale can be estimated by using echo Sounder or Sonar

Explanation:The researchers and physicst uses the knowledge of reflection of sound in water or echo to solve a lot of puzzle under water , including calclulating the distance and size of objects like fish,sunk ship,etc

The sonar is able to receive the signals from the whales and the succesive echoes that follows when placed in a strategic position in the water in the path of the whale .

The sonar has a traducers which has both a transmitter and a receiver,so it receives pulses from the whale and transmit back same echo back to the whale and to the bottom of the sea.

Using the speed of sound underwater and time taken for succesive echoes of pulses ,it can calculate with the precision the location of the whale while the image of the whale is also capture by the traducers to determine the size.
