The speed of sound in fresh water is 1482m/s. 
It says ocean floor, so we should a little bit more accurate, and use the fact that the speed of sound in salt water (that has no bubbles) is 1560m/s. 
speed = distance / time 
Therefore Distance = speed x time = 1560 x 3.3 = 5158m 
The sonar wave is sent out by the boat, reflected off the seafloor, and then is received back at the boat on the surface. So the distance 5148m is the distance from the boat to the sea bottom and then back up to the boat again. 
So the depth of the water is half this distance Depth of water = 5148/2=2574m

Which statements correctly describe the effect of distance in determining the gravitational force and the electrical force? Chec
tangare [24]
The following statements are correct for the electrical (Coulomb) and gravitational forces. The electrical force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. The gravitational force is also inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Gravitational forces will scale with the amount of mass whilst electrical forces scale with the amount of charge.

tom does not reallt want to give away blue marbles and would like to change the probability that he chooses a blue marble to one
Llana [10]
We don't know how many of ANY color are in the bag right now, so there's no way to calculate an answer.

What Tom has to do is make sure that the number of marbles that are NOT blue is NINE TIMES the number of blue ones in the bag.

Fire spreading from a wall to a nearby couch due to radiant heat transfer is an example of heat reflectivity.

<h3>What is heat reflectivity?</h3>

When sunlight and other light sources strike a material's surface, its reflectance is measured. This number can be used to characterize a surface's characteristics in terms of surface finish. Another name for reflection is reflectivity.

This is a measurement of the amount of energy that material reflects at a specific wavelength. A value between 0 and 1 can also be used to represent reflectivity (or a percentage between 0 and 100).

Sigma and other top businesses have created a range of other forms of heat reflective fabric in the 50 years after the creation of space blankets, including Fabric and aluminum foil laminates, fabric laminates with metalized thin films.
