The stronger echo will originate from the bottom and between the lake since the sound will bounce back harder as the bottom of the lake is solid. Unlike the boundary between the cold and warm water.

The echo will be stronger when originated from the bottom of the lake.

Explanation

Echo is created when sound waves get reflected due to difference in the densities of the medium.

As we know that SONAR technique works on the detection of the echo strength to navigate, to determine the thickness of any object in water and also to measure the depth of the water bodies.

A region of warm water and cold water will create very negligible echo as there is no object which can resist the penetration of sound waves in this region.

But the sound waves will get reflected when hits the solid object or the bottom of the lake.

As the bottom of the lake is made up of solid, the sound waves will not be able to penetrate the bottom layer.

This will lead to reflection of sound waves creating echo of stronger energy.

How long does it take for 4 coulombs of charge to pass through a cross
Galina-37 [17]

Answer: 2 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Time (T) = ?

Charge (Q) = 4 coulombs

current (I) = 2 Amps

Since charge depends on the amount of current flowing through the wire in a given time, hence

Charge = Current x Time

Q = IT

4 coulombs = 2 Amps x Time

Time = 4 coulombs / 2 Amps

Time = 2 seconds

Thus, it takes 2 seconds for the current to flow through the wire

a flag of mass 2.5 kg is supported by a single rope. A strong horizontal wind exerts a force of 12 N on the flag. Calculate the
tatuchka [14]
The free-body diagram of the forces acting on the flag is in the picture in attachment.

We have: the weight, downward, with magnitude
W=mg = (2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=24.5 N
the force of the wind F, acting horizontally, with intensity
F=12 N
and the tension T of the rope. To write the conditions of equilibrium, we must decompose T on both x- and y-axis (x-axis is taken horizontally whil y-axis is taken vertically):
T \cos \alpha -F=0
T \sin \alpha -W=
By dividing the second equation by the first one, we get
\tan \alpha =  \frac{W}{F}= \frac{24.5 N}{12 N}=2.04
From which we find
\alpha = 63.8 ^{\circ}
which is the angle of the rope with respect to the horizontal.

By replacing this value into the first equation, we can also find the tension of the rope:
T= \frac{F}{\cos \alpha}= \frac{12 N}{\cos 63.8^{\circ}}=27.2 N
