Dolphins of the open ocean are classified as type ii odontocetes (toothed whales). these animals use ultrasonic "clicks" with a frequency of about 55.3 khz to navigate and find prey.
(a) suppose a dolphin sends out a series of high-pitched clicks that are reflected back from the bottom of the ocean 86 m below. how much time elapses before the dolphin hears the echoes of the clicks? (the speed of sound in seawater is approximately 1530 m/s.)
answer in seconds
(b) what is the wavelength of 55.3 khz sound in the ocean?
answer in mm

Ahanging spring stretches by 35.0 cm when an object of mass 450 g is hung on it at rest. in this situation, we define its position as x = 0. the object is pulled down an additional 18.0 cm and released from rest to oscillate without friction. what is its position x at a moment 84.4 s later? express your answer in cm.

Acentrifuge in a medical laboratory rotates at an angular speed of 3,700 rev/min. when switched off, it rotates through 54.0 revolutions before coming to rest. find the constant angular acceleration (in rad/s2) of the centrifuge. your response is within 10% of the correct value. this may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. rad/s2
