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.

melisa1 [442]
1 Amp = 1 Coulomb/sec
1 Coulomb/sec = 6.25*10^18 electrons/sec

Therefore,
5.0 A = 5 C/s = 5*6.25*10^18 = 3.125*10^19 e/s

In 10 second, number of electrons are calculated as;
Number of electrons through the device = 3.125*10^19*10 = 3.125*10^20 electrons

two masses are separated by 1 m. suppose the masses are moved so they are 2 m apart how will the gravitational force change
Verdich [7]
The gravitational force would get stronger because the farther the two masses are separated the more gravitational force will be used to pull them together the closer they are the less gravitational pull is used to pull them together

Find the velocity and distance travelled of a car that is accelerating at 3 m/s2 for 4 seconds.
marta [7]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 3 m/s²

t = 4 s

Find: Δx and v

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (0 m/s) (4 s) + ½ (3 m/s²) (4 s)²

Δx = 24 m

v = at + v₀

v = (3 m/s²) (4 s) + 0 m/s

v = 12 m/s

Observe the given figure and find the the gravitational force between m1 and m2.​
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂, is approximately 1.06789 × 10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

The details of the given masses having gravitational attractive force between them are;

m₁ = 20 kg, r₁ = 10 cm = 0.1 m, m₂ = 50 kg, and r₂ = 15 cm = 0.15 m

The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂ is given by Newton's Law of gravitation as follows;

F =G \cdot \dfrac{m_{1} \cdot m_{2}}{r^{2}}

Where;

F = The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂

G = The universal gravitational constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

r₂ = 0.1 m + 0.15 m = 0.25 m

Therefore, we have;

F = 6.67430 \times 10^{-11} \ N \cdot m^2/kg \times \dfrac{20 \ kg\times 50 \ kg}{(0.1 \ m+ 0.15 \ m)^{2}} \approx 1.06789 \times 10^{-6} \ N

The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂, F ≈ 1.06789 × 10⁻⁶ N

Anni [7]

Answer:

I=38.181\ A is the current through the body of the man.

E=34.5\ J energy dissipated.

Explanation:

Given:

  • time for which the current lasted, t=43\times 10^{-6}\ s
  • potential difference between the feet, V=21000\ V
  • resistance between the feet, R=550\ \Omega

<u>Now, from the Ohm's law we have:</u>

I=\frac{V}{R}

I=\frac{21000}{550}

I=38.181\ A is the current through the body of the man.

<u>Energy dissipated in the body:</u>

E=I^2.R.t

E=38.181^2\times 550\times 43\times 10^{-6}

E=34.5\ J
