Answer: 0.204 s

Explanation:

The speed of sound $V$ is defined as the distance traveled $d$ in a especific time $t$ :

$V=\frac{d}{t}$

Where:

$V=1470 m/s$ is the speed of sound in seawater

$t$ is the time the sound wave travels from the dolphin and then returns after the reflection

$d=2(150 m)$ is twice the distance between the dolphin and the object to which the sound waves are reflected

Finding $t$ :

$t=\frac{d}{V}$

$t=\frac{2(150 m)}{1470 m/s}$

Finally:

$t=0.204 s$

Pamela drove her car 999999 kilometers and used 999 liters of fuel. she wants to know how many kilometers (k)(k)left parenthesis

Vanyuwa [196]

When the relationship between two variables are said to be proportional, it means that one variable is a constant multiple of the other variable. They are related by a constant of proportionality, usually denoted as k.

In this problem, the dependent variable is the distance in kilometers. Your mileage is limited with the amount of fuel you have. Thus, the independent variable is the liters of fuel. When these two are proportional, it could be expressed as

distance = k * liters of fuel, such that
distance/liters of fuel = k

By variation,

distance,1/liters of fuel,1 = distance,2/liters of fuel,2, where 1 denotes situation 1 and 2 denotes situation 2. Therefore,

999999 km /999 liters = x km /121212 liters, where x is the unknown distance. We can now therefore find the value of x.

x = (999999*121212)/999
x = 121333212 kilometers

Consider the waveform expression. y (x, t) = ym sin (0.333x + 5.36 + 585t) The transverse displacement (y) of a wave is given as

Sonja [21]

Explanation:

The waveform expression is given by :

$y(x,t)=y_m\ sin(0.333x+5.36+585t)$ ...........(1)

Where

y is the position

t is the time in seconds

The general waveform equation is given by :

$y(x,t)=y_m\ sin(kx+\phi+\omega t)$ ..........(2)

Where

$k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

$\omega=2\pi f$

On comparing equation (1) and (2) we get :

$0.333=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=18.86\ m$

$585=2\pi f$

f = 93.10 Hz

Time period, $T=\dfrac{1}{f}$

$T=\dfrac{1}{0.010}$

T = 0.010 s

Phase constant, $\phi=5.36\ radian$

Hence, this is the required solution.

In order to find the distance of the steel ring to the ground, when its temperature has raised by 1°C, you first calculate the radius of the steel tube before its temperature increases.

You use the formula for the circumference of the steel ring:

$C=2\pi r$ (1)
