The answer is. It did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet.
1. It is in orbit around the Sun
2. It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium
3. It has 'cleared the neighborhood' around its orbit
Pluto has not 'cleared its neighborhood'
The time lapse between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Velocity of sound (v) = 343 m/s
Distance (x) = 8.42 m
Time (t) =?
We can obtain obtained the time as illustrated below:
v = 2x / t
343 = 2 × 8.42 / t
343 = 16.84 / t
Cross multiply
343 × t = 16.84
Divide both side by 343
t = 16.84/343
t = 0.05 s
Thus, the time between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.
<h3>
How does a bat know how far away something is?</h3>
A bat emits a sound wave and carefully listens to the echoes that return to it. The returning information is processed by the bat's brain in the same way that we processed our shouting sound with a stopwatch and calculator. The bat's brain determines the distance of an object by measuring how long it takes for a noise to return.

Correction question:
A bat emits a sonar sound wave (343 m/s) that bounces off a mosquito 8.42 m away. How much time elapses between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo? (Unit = s)
Answer : The final volume of the balloon at this temperature and pressure is, 17582.4 L
Solution :
Using combined gas equation is,
where,
= initial pressure of gas = 1 atm
= final pressure of gas = 0.3 atm
= initial volume of gas = 6000 L
= final volume of gas = ?
= initial temperature of gas = 273 K
= final temperature of gas = 240 K
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final pressure of gas.

Therefore, the final volume of the balloon at this temperature and pressure is, 17582.4 L
Before going to solve this question first we have to understand specific heat capacity of a substance .
The specific heat of a substance is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through one degree Celsius. Let us consider a substance whose mass is m.Let Q amount of heat is given to it as a result of which its temperature is raised from T to T'.
Hence specific heat of a substance is calculated as-
![c= \frac{Q}{m[T'-T]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=c%3D%20%5Cfrac%7BQ%7D%7Bm%5BT%27-T%5D%7D)
Here c is the specific heat capacity.
The substance whose specific heat capacity is more will take more time to be heated up to a certain temperature as compared to a substance having low specific heat which is to be heated up to the same temperature.
As per the question John is experimenting on sand and water.Between sand and water,water has the specific heat 1 cal/gram per degree centigrade which is larger as compared to sand.Hence sand will be heated faster as compared to water.The substance which is heated faster will also cools faster.
From this experiment John concludes that water has more specific heat as compared to sand.
