Using sound waves signals allow oceanography to determine ocean depth

Physics
1 answer:
frozen [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

echosounding

Explanation:

The time taken for the sound to travel through the ocean and back is then used to calculate water depths. The faster the sound waves return, the smaller the water depths and the higher the elevation of the seafloor.

Two people are pulling a boat through the water. Each exerts a force of 600 N directed at a 30.0 angle relative to the forward m
VashaNatasha [74]

It sounds as though the two people are standing in front of the boat on opposite sides of it, so that they both make an angle of 30.0° with the axis of the boat, as in the attached free body diagram (ignoring the force of buoyancy and the weight of the boat).

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force is

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>P</em>₁ sin(60.0°) + <em>P</em>₂ sin(120.0°) - <em>R</em> = 0

where upward is positive and downward is negative, and the right side is 0 because the boat moves with constant velocity and thus zero acceleration.

We're told that <em>P</em>₁ = <em>P</em>₂ = 600 N, and we know sin(60°) = sin(120°), so the above reduces to

<em>R</em> = 2 <em>P</em> sin(60.0°) = 2 (600 N) sin(60.0°) ≈ 1040 N

At what speed must a 0.6 kg stone be thrown in order that it has a relativistic mass of 0.76 kg? (c = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s) A) 0.6976
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The speed of the stone is 0.6138 c.

(B) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of stone m= 0.6

Relativistic mass = 0.76

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of rest mass

m_{r}=\dfrac{m_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}

v^2=(\dfrac{m_{0}^2}{m_{r}^2}-1)c^2

Put the value into the formula

v^2=(\dfrac{0.6^2}{0.76^2}-1)\times c^2

v=\sqrt{0.37673c^2}

v=0.6138c

Hence, The speed of the stone is 0.6138 c.

What is the total current I flowing through a system with two resistors in parallel with resistances of 2Ω and 5Ω, and a battery
Andrej [43]

Answer:

7A

Explanation:

Current I = potential difference V ÷ Resistance R

I = V/R ........1

The overall resistance of parallel resistors is;

1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 ........2

Given;

V = 10V

R1 = 2 ohms

R2 = 5 ohms

Substituting the values into equation 2, to calculate the overall resistance;

1/Rt = 1/2 + 1/5

1/Rt = 7/10

Rt = 10/7 ohms

From equation 1, we can solve for the total current;

I = V/Rt = 10/(10/7)

I = 7A

The total current I flowing through a system is 7A
