Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Speed</u>

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:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}$

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.

Solving the equation for d:

d = v.t

d = 1500 m/s * 0.75 s

d = 1125 m

The sea bed is 1125 m deep.

Len [333]

Answer:

D. Nothing will happen; the seesaw will still be balanced.

Explanation:

D. Nothing will happen; the seesaw will still be balanced. Since both toruqes or momentums respect to the center have changed in the same amount (one-half their original distance) the seesaw will remain balanced, if the children change distance in a different amount then it will be out of balance

What information and measurements would you need to calculate the rate of movement?

aliina [53]

When you talk about rate, you will expect that it will be in terms of a time unit. It measures how fast it is going. So, you would expect that the denominator is in time units. For the movement, you can measure this with either distance or velocity.

So, for the first variety, you would need distance and time to measure the rate of how far you go at a certain time. It is also called as velocity. For the second variety, you would need velocity and time to measure the rate of how fast you are going at a certain interval. It is also called as acceleration.

Geothermal energy generation uses what kind of turbine?

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

electromagnetic induction

Explanation:

Water or working fluid is heated (or used directly incase of geothermal dry steam power plants), and then sent through a steam turbine where the thermal energy (heat) is converted to electricity with a generator through a phenomenon called electromagnetic induction.

The scanner records the time from when a ultrasound wave is emitted to when its reflection is received

telo118 [61]

Explanation:

The scanner records the time from when a ultrasound wave is emitted to when its reflection is received. A technician calculates the depth of the reflection using the equation as :

$\text{depth}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \text{speed of ultrasound in patient}\times \text{time recorded by scanner}$

The distance covered by ultrasonic wave when it was emitted and gets reflected is 2d. Speed is given by :

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

d is distance and t is time

Here, d = 2d

So, the factor of (1/2) is used because the distance covered by the wave is 2 times when it was emitted and received.
