<span>The formulas are,
v1d1² = v2d2² ........ (1)
h = (v2²-v1²)/2g ...... (2)
Given that,
v1 = 1.71 m/s
we assume that the stream has decreased by a factor
d2 =0.805d1
then,
v1d1² = v2 (0.805d1)²
cancelled both side d1² then we get,
v1 = v2 (0.805)²
v1 = v2 (0.648025)
Sub v1 = 1.71,
1.71 = v2 (0.648025)
v2 = 1.71/0.648025
v2 = 2.638787083831642
v2 = 2.64 m/s
The vertical distance formula,
h = (v2²-v1²)/2g
We know that value of gravity constant is 9.8 m/s²
h = {(2.64)² - (1.71)²)/2(9.8)
h = {(6.9696) - (2.9241)}/19.6
h = (4.0455)/19.6
h = 0.2064030612244898
h = 0.21 cm
Therefore, the vertical distance h = 0.21 cm.</span>
Answer:
2625 m deep
Explanation:
Let the sound speed in sea water be 1500 m/s. If he hears the echo 3.5s after the strike, then the sound would have traveled a distance of 1500 * 3.5 = 5250 m to the bottom and back. This would mean the ocean is 5250 / 2 = 2625 m deep.
