It's the rate of change of the distance (d) traveled by an object over time (t).
The speed can be calculated by the formula:
It's known the speed of sound in water is v=1500 m/s. A sound wave is sent to the sea bed and bounces back to the ship 1.5 seconds later.
That is the time the wave takes to travel twice the distance from the ship to the sea bed, thus the required distance uses half of that time or t=1.5/2 = 0.75 seconds.
Approximately (assuming that this spring is ideal.)
Explanation:
The displacement of a spring is the new length of the spring relative to the original length.
For example:
When the -spring in this question is stretched to , the displacement is .
Likewise, if this spring is stretched to , the displacement would be .
If this spring is ideal, the force on the spring would be proportional to the displacement of the spring. In other words, if a force of displaces this spring by , while a force of displaces this spring by , then:
.
In this question, it is given that a force of would stretch this spring by . Thus, the force required to stretch this spring by would satisfy:
