Based on the velocity of sound in water,  the depth of the water is 5550 m.

<h3>What is the depth of the water if a transmitted sound pulse returns  an echo 7.4 seconds later?</h3>

The velocity of sound in water =  1500 m/s

Time taken to receive the echo = 7.4 seconds

  • Distance travelled by sound = speed * time

Distance = 1500 * 7.4

Distance = 11100 m

Since this is a to and fro distance covered

  • Depth of the water = distance travelled/ 2

Depth of water = 11100/2

Depth of water = 5550 m

Therefore, the depth of the water is 5550 m.

Which one of the following statements is true?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

1. Burning coal contributes to sulfur aerosols in the stratosphere; these sulfur aerosols have moderated global warming.

Explanation:

Sulfur aerosols both absorb as well as scatter solar radiation coming from the sun , thus saving the earth from getting wormed up . In this way it has moderating effect on the global warming . This is also called global dimming effect. Less of the solar radiation is able to reach earth surface due to these aerosol.

Describe, using the relevant physics, how moving a magnet near a [ 1 2 ] solenoid induces a voltage across it. How does the spee
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

Moving a magnet might cause a change in the magnetic field going through the solenoid. Whether or not it will change depends on the movement.

According to Faraday's law of induction a voltage is induced in a coil by a change in the magnetic flux. Magnetic flux is defined as the dot product of the magnetic field (a vector field) by the area enclosed by a loop of the coil.

\Phi B = -\int{B} \, dA

The voltage is induced by the variation of the magnetic flux:

\epsilon = -N * \frac{d \Phi B}{dt}

Where

ε: electromotive fore

N: number of turns in the coil

ΦB: magnetic flux

Moving the magnet faster would increase the rare of change of the magnetic flux, resulting in higher induced voltage.

Turning the magnet upside down would invert the direction of the magnetic field, reversing the voltage induced.

Through what voltage must an αα-particle, with its charge of +2e+2e, be accelerated so that it has just enough energy to reach a
mezya [45]

Answer:5101.35v

Explanation:

Radius of gold nucleus=7.3×10-15m and a charge of +79e

Q= 79e

e=1.6×10^-19

q= +2e

The nucleus is considered as the point charge where the potential energy between the charges are

U = 1/(4×3.142×Eo)×(qQ)/r

Where r is distance between the charges and the nucleus

r=R+d

V=U/q

U= 1/(4×3.142×Eo)×Q/r

V= 1/(4×3.142×Eo)×Q/(r+d)

9.0×10^9 ×(79×10^-19)/(7.3×10^-15)+(1.5×10^-14)

V= 9.0×10^9 ×(1.264×10^-17)/(2.23×10^-14)

V= 9×10^9×(5.67×10^-14)= 5101.35v
