Aboat sounds a fog horn on a day when both the sea water and the air temperature are 25.0° c. the speed of sound in sea water is 1,533 m/s. how much earlier (in s) does a dolphin 1000 m from the source hear the sound than a person in a boat that is also 1000 m distant? (ignore the time it takes the sound to reach the water surface.) show work/ explanations
(a) 0.652
(b) 2.12
(c) 2.24
(d) 2.77
(e) 2.90

C) 2.24 s

Explanation:

Speed of sound in air at 25 degree = 346 m /s

Speed of sound in sea water = 1533 m/s

Time taken by sound to reach dolphin

= 1000 / 1533 = 0.6523 s

Time taken by sound to reach boatman

1000/ 346

= 2.89 s

Difference

= 2.89 - .6523

= 2.24 s

this means that the temperature of both substances will be equal

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
