Answer:

<em>The sea bed is 1125 m deep.</em>

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.

Equipotential surfaces a) make an angle of 45 degrees with the electric field. b) are parallel to the electric field. c) are per
Schach [20]

Answer:

Option c) are perpendicular to the electric field

Explanation:

Equipotential surfaces are perpendicular to the electric field. the electric field lines are projected outwards from the equipotential surface, i.e., the lines of the electric field are at 90^{\circ} to the equipotential surface.

Equipotential surface are those surfaces that have the same potential at any point on the surface. Thus the potential difference at any point on the surface is zero due to same potential.

Any charge particle on this surface will move in a perpendicular direction to the Coulombian force. No work is done by the force on a particle moving on an equipotential surface.

The wavelength of light is given by the velocity divided by the frequency. the velocity of blue light is 300,000,000 m/sec, and
s2008m [1.1K]
<span>Electromagnetic radiation are represented in waves. Each type of wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between two peaks in a wave is called the wavelength. It is indirectly related to the frequency which is the number of wave that pass per unit of time. Wavelength is equal to the speed of light divided by the frequency. We calculate as follows:

Wavelength = </span>300,000,000 m/sec / <span>650,000,000,000,000 per second
Wavelength = 4.62x10^-4 m</span>

A cylindrical metal can is to have no lid. It is to have a volume of 125π in3. What height minimizes the amount of metal used?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Minimum height of metal = 5 inches

Explanation:

Volume of the cylindrical metal = πR²H = 125π

cancelling out π on both sides

R²H = 125

Hence it can be deduced that R² = 25 and H = 5

Hence minimum height of metal = 5 inches
