Answer:

The water is 1310.75 meters deep.

Explanation:

The question gives us the speed of sound and the time the sonar signal takes to travel to the bottom of the water and back.

To find out the distance, we should first divide the time in half, so we only consider the time taken for the sound to reach the bottom of the water body.

This means:

Time = 1.75 / 2 = 0.875 seconds

The distance traveled in this time is:

Distance = Speed * Time

Distance = 1498 * 0.875

Distance = 1310.75 meters    

Thus, the water is 1310.75 meters deep.

A trapeze artist swings in simple harmonic motion with a period of 3.8 s.
pogonyaev
As we know that time period of simple pendulum is given as

T = 2π √L/g

here we know that

T = 3.8 s

now from above equation we know that

T² = 4π² (L/g)

now on rearranging the above equation we will have

L = gT² / 4π²

now plug in all data into it

L = (9.8) (3.8)² / (4) (3.14)²

so the length of the cable must be 3.6 m

It is made up mostly of sand. 4. B Horizon - Also called the subsoil - this layer is beneath the E Horizon and above the C Horizon. 5. C Horizon - it's called regolith: the layer beneath the B Horizon and above the R Horizon. 6 R Horizon - this is last and the unweathered rock layer that is beneath all the other layers.</span>
