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.

Which statement best describes the difference between a substance with a pH of 3.0 and a substance with a pH of 6.0?
satela [25.4K]

The statement best describes the difference between a substance with a pH of 3.0 and a substance with a pH of 6.0 is - The substance with the lower pH has 1,000 times as many hydrogen ions per volume of water.

pH is the scale or measure for the substance about its acidic or basic strength. It ranges from 0 to 6.9 which is acidic and 7.1 to 14 which is basic.

Acidic substance has high concentration of Hydrogen ions whereas, basic substance has low concentration of hydrogen ions, however for the OH⁻ ions it is reverse.

  • Concentration of hydrogen ions is inversely related to its pH
  • More hydrogen ions present, the lower the pH
  • The fewer hydrogen ions, the higher the pH We know,

pH = -log(H^{+}) then,  

=> 3 = -log (H^{+})

=> H^{+} =  (for pH = 3)  

=> pH = -log(H^{+})

=> 6 = -log (H^{+})

=> H^{+} = 10^{-6} (for pH = 6)

 Thus, The substance with the lower pH (3) has 1000 times as many hydrogen ions per volume of water.

A 10.0-g bullet moving at 300 m/s is fired into a 1.00-kg block at rest. the bullet emerges (the bullet does not get embedded in
sesenic [268]
Momentum before the hit:
p = mv = 0.01 * 300 + 1 * 0 

Momentum after the hit:
p = 0.01 * 150 + 1 * v

Momentum is conserved:
0.01 * 300 = 0.01 * 150 + v 
3 = 1.5 + v
v = 1.5

The velocity of the block after the collision is 1.5 m/s.

To initiate a nuclear reaction, an experimental nuclear physicist wants to shoot a proton into a 5.50-fm-diameter 12C nucleus. T
Fantom [35]

Answer:

V_1= 3.4*10^7m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Nucleus diameter d=5.50-fm

a 12C nucleus

Required kinetic energy K=2.30 MeV

Generally initial speed of proton must be determined,applying the law of conservation of energy we have

            K_2 +U_2=K_1+U_1

where

K_1 =initial kinetic energy

K_2 =final kinetic energy

U_1 =initial electric potential

U_2 =final electric potential

mathematically

   U_2 = \frac{Kq_pq_c}{r_2}

where

r_f=distance b/w charges

q_c=nucleus charge =6(1.6*10^-^1^9C)

K=constant

q_p=proton charge

Generally kinetic energy is know as

         K=\frac{1}{2}  mv^2

Therefore

         U_2 = \frac{Kq_pq_c}{r_2} + K_2=\frac{1}{2}  mv_1^2 +U_1

Generally equation for radius is d/2

Mathematically solving for radius of nucleus

         R=(\frac{5.50}{2}) (\frac{1*10^-^1^5m}{1fm})

         R=2.75*10^-^1^5m

Generally we can easily solving mathematically substitute into v_1

   q_p=6(1.6*10^-^1^9C)

   K_1=9.0*10^9 N-m^2/C^2

   U_1= 0

   R=2.75*10^-^1^5m

   K=2.30 MeV

   m= 1.67*10^-^2^7kg

   V_1= (\frac{2}{1.67*10^-^2^7kg})^1^/^2 (\frac{(9.0*10^9 N-m^2/C^2)*(6(1.6*10^-^1^9C)(1.6*10^-^1^9C)}{2.75*10^-^1^5m+2.30 MeV(\frac{1.6*10^-^1^3 J}{1 MeV}) }

    V_1= 3.4*10^7m/s

Therefore the proton must be fired out with a speed of V_1= 3.4*10^7m/s

A wave traveling in a string has a wavelength of 35 cm, an amplitude of 8. 4 cm, and a period of 1. 2 s. What is the speed of th
AlekseyPX

0.29 m/s (wave velocity = wavelength (lamda)/period (T) in metres)

35 / 1.2 = 29.16

29.16 ÷ 100 = 0.29

Wave velocity in string:

The properties of the medium affect the wave's velocity in a string. For instance, if a thin guitar string is vibrated while a thick rope is not, the guitar string's waves will move more quickly. As a result, the linear densities of the two strings affect the string's velocity. Linear density is defined as the mass per unit length.

Instead of the sinusoidal wave, a single symmetrical pulse is taken into consideration in order to comprehend how the linear mass density and tension will affect the wave's speed on the string.
