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

mylen [45]

Answer:

The average densities of both matches the expected density for objects made from water ice.

Explanation:

Charon's density is 1.2 to 1.3 g / cm3, while Pluto's density is 1.8 to 2.1 g / cm3. This was discovered in many researches and measurements of these two celestial bodies, with the objective of understanding them and promoting efficient scientific knowledge.

With the measurements of the average densities between pluto and Charon it was possible to conclude several statements about them. Firstly, it is possible to see that the two formed independently and at different times, in addition to indicating the existence of few rocks in charon, which is consistent with the average density of objects made mostly of water ice.

(b) 360 days into seconds.
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Explanation:

(b) We know that,

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 3600 s

So, we found that, 1 day = 86400 s

We need to find the 360 days into seconds. So,

1 day = 86400 s

360 days = 86400×360

360 days = 31104000 seconds

(d) Weight of a body, W = 600 N

Acceleration due to gravity on mars is 3.7 m/s²

Weight, W = mg

m is mass of body

m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{600}{3.7}\\\\m=162.16\ kg

(e) Mass of body, m = 100 kg

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon, 1.6 m/s²

Weight, W = 100 × 1.6

W = 160 N

A charged particle is moving in a uniform magnetic field at a speed of 8.2Ã10^3 m/s in a direction 87° from the direction of th
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 0.042 T

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of charged particle, v=8.2\times 10^3\ m/s

Angle between velocity and the magnetic field, \theta=87

Charge, q=5.7\ \mu C=5.7\times 10^{-6}\ C

Magnetic force, F = 0.002 N

The magnetic force is given by :

F=qvB\ sin\theta

B is the magnetic field  

B=\dfrac{F}{qv\ sin\theta}

B=\dfrac{0.002}{5.7\times 10^{-6}\times 8.2\times 10^3\times sin(87)}

B = 0.042 T

So, the strength of the magnetic field is 0.042 Tesla. Hence, this is the required solution.
