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.

<span>d.rotating counterclockwise and slowing down This is a matter of understanding the notation and conventions of angular rotations. Positive rotations are counter clockwise and negative rotations are clockwise. An easy way to remember this is the "right hand rule". Make a closed fist with your right hand and have the thumb sticking outwards. If you orient your thumb such that it's pointing in the direction of the positive value along the axis, your fingers will be curled in the positive rotational direction. So in the described scenario, the sphere is rotating in the positive direction (counter clockwise) and decelerating due to the negative angular acceleration. That immediately indicates that options "a", "b", and "e" are wrong since they mention the sphere going clockwise at the beginning. Of the two remaining options "c" and "d", we can discard option "c" since it has the rotation speeding up, and that leaves us with option "d" where the sphere is rotating counter clockwise and slowing down.</span>
