Answer:

697 m

Explanation:

From the question above,

Note: Alice hears the splash of the rock in the well through the help of echo.

Applying,

v = 2x/t........................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of sound, x = depth of the well, t = time.

make x the subject of the formula in equation 1

x = vt/2................... Equation 2.

Given: v = 340 m/s, t = 4.1 s

Substitute these values into equation 2

x = 340(4.1)/2

x = 697 m.

26. The equation E=hf describes the energy of each photon in a beam of light. If Planck’s constant, h, were larger, would photon
Elenna [48]
The equation of the energy of a photon is E=h*f.

If we increase the Planck's constant h, the energy would increase. 

For example, lets double the value of Planck's constant and name it H:

H=2*h. Now lets put that into the equation for energy that we will call E₂:

E₂=H*f=2*h*f=2*E. 

So we can clearly see that E₂=2*E or that if we double Planck's constant, the energy also doubles.

nata0808 [166]
One way that the world's ocean affects weather and climate is by playing an important role in keeping our planet warm. ... The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation.

What effect do sound waves have on air particles
valkas [14]

Answer:

Sound waves travel at 343 m/s through the air and faster through liquids and solids. The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound, e.g. a drum, to its surroundings. Your ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your ear drum to vibrate. The bigger the vibrations the louder the sound.

Which of Newton's laws of motion describes the motion of an object that has a net<br> force of ON?
algol [13]

Newton's first and second laws of motion both do, but I think the one you're looking for is: <em>The First Law of Motion</em>.  That description is a little more direct.

It says that if an object is not acted on by a net external force, then it continues in "constant, uniform motion".
