A ship sends out a 1200 Hz sound wave, which has a wavelength of 120 cm in the water. What would happen if that ship sent out a

600Hz sound wave instead?

Answer:

the wave length becomes doubled or becomes two times the initial wavelength = 240 cm

Explanation:

From wave,

v = λf................ Equation 1

Where v = velocity of the wave, λ = wavelength of the wave, f = frequency of the wave.

Given: f = 1200 Hz, λ = 120 cm = 1.2 m

Substitute into equation 1

v = 1200(1.2)

v = 1440 m/s.

When the ship sent out a 600 Hz sound wave,

make λ the subject of formula in equation 1

λ = v/f............. Equation 2

Given: f = 600 Hz, v = 1440 m/s

Substitute into equation 2

λ = 1440/600

λ = 2.4 m or 240 cm.

When the ship sent out a 600 Hz sound wave instead, the wave length becomes doubled or becomes two times the initial wavelength = 240 cm

How does climate change lead to an increase in algal blooms? a. Decreased temperatures lead to an increase in phytoplankton grow
asambeis [7]

Answer;

B. Increased levels of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, leads to increased phytoplankton growth.

Explanation;

-A combination of warm water, high nutrient levels, and adequate sunlight may cause a harmful algae bloom. These blooms may damage aquatic ecosystems by blocking sunlight and depleting oxygen that other organisms need to survive.

-Algae blooms have been increasing globally, and climate change may be playing a role in the increment. For instance, during the warm summer season or when water is warmer, some harmful types of algae to grow faster than other, more benign varieties.

-Additionally, the warmer surface water also prevents water from mixing vertically, allowing algae to grow thicker and faster.

Does the rankine degree represent a larger or smaller temperature unit than the kelvin degree
zvonat [6]
The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the first choice, larger.

Rankine is Fahrenheit + 460 , while Kelvin is Celsius + 273. We all know that Fahrenheit has larger number compared to kelvin , thus rankine is much larger.
Hope my answer would be a great help for you.    If you have more questions feel free to ask here at Brainly.

Electric field lines always begin at _______ charges (or at infinity) and end at _______ charges (or at infinity). One could als
lesantik [10]

Answer:

b)

Explanation:

By convention, the electric field lines (which are tangent to the direction of the electric field at a given point) always begin at positive charges, and finish at negative charges.

This is a consequence of the convention that states that the electric field has the direction of the trajectory of a positive test charge when released from rest in an electric field.

(As the positive charge would move away from positive charges and would  be attracted by negative ones).

So, the combination of answers that is true is b) (positive, negative, positive).

Which actions most likely cause the domains in a ferromagnetic material to align?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

A ferromagnetic material is a temporary magnet. The domains in a ferromagnetic material are randomly arranged. Under certain actions, the domains align in a particular direction and the material acts as a magnet. The actions that can cause alignment of domains in a ferromagnetic material are:

  • rubbing the material against a magnet would cause the alignment of domains in the same direction as of the magnet.
  • passing electricity around the material would generate magnetic field which would cause domains to align along the direction of the field.
  • placing the material near a strong magnet would cause the alignment of domains in the direction of the field generated by the strong magnet.

Other actions like heating the material,  placing the material in a magnetic field of opposite polarity and hitting the material would lead to demagnetization of the magnetic material.

According to a rule-of-thumb. every five seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the f
Bond [772]

Answer:

S_{s}=300 m/s

The rule for kilometers is that every three seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the flash in kilometers.

Explanation:

In order to use the rule of thumb to find the speed of sound in meters per second, we need to use some conversion ratios. We know there is 1 mile per every 5 seconds after the lightning is seen. We also know that there are 5280ft in 1 mile and we also know that there are 0.3048m in 1ft. This is enough information to solve this problem. We set our conversion ratios like this:

\frac{1mi}{5s}*\frac{5280ft}{1mi}*\frac{0.3048m}{1ft}=321.87m/s

notice how the ratios were written in such a way that the units got cancelled when calculating them. Notice that in one ratio the miles were on the numerator of the fraction while on the other they were on the denominator, which allows us to cancel them. The same happened with the feet.

The problem asks us to express the answer to one significant figure so the speed of sound rounds to 300m/s.

For the second part of the problem we need to use conversions again. This time we will write our ratios backwards and take into account that there are 1000m to 1 km, so we get:

\frac{5s}{1mi}*\frac{1mi}{5280ft}*\frac{1ft}{0.3048m}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=3.11s/km

This means that for every 3.11s there will be a distance of 1km from the place where the lightning stroke. Since this is a rule of thumb, we round to the nearest integer for the calculations to be made easily, so the rule goes like this:

The rule for kilometers is that every three seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the flash in kilometers.
