t = total time taken by sound to go down the well and then come back = 2 sec

d = depth of the well

D = total distance traveled by the sound

total distance traveled by sound is given as

total distance traveled = distance traveled going down + distance traveled going up

D = d + d

D = 2 d                                                               eq-1

v = speed of sound = 343 m/s

we know that distance traveled is given as

total distance traveled = speed of sound x total time

D = v t

using eq-1

2 d = v t

2 d = (343) (2)

dividing both side by 2

d = 343 x 2/2

d = 343 m

hence surface of water is 343 m deep

A rocket ship leaves Earth's atmosphere. Its initial velocity is less than its final velocity. What is this an example of?
77julia77 [94]
I believe this would be an example of positive acceleration as the initial velocity of the rocket is less than the final velocity, indicating that the rocket is accelerating and thus is positive.

A car traveling west in a straight line on a highway decreases its speed from 30.0 meters per second to 23.0 meters per second i
pychu [463]
Acceleration, a =  (v - u) / t

Initial Velocity, u = 30 m/s
Final Velocity, v  =  23 m/s
time                 t  =  2.00 seconds

a = (23 - 30) / 2
a = -7 / 2 = -3.5 m/s2

So the acceleration  is negative, which means it is a deceleration of 3.5 m/s2.

A pump can throw a stream of water up to 29.6m. What is the initial speed of the stream when it leaves a hose nozzle.
zhannawk [14.2K]
Hello
We know that the water's kinetic energy upon leaving will be converted into potential energy as it is projected straight up. The maximum height attained by the water is 29.6m.
We know Kinetic Energy is
1/2 * m * v^2
And Potential energy is
m*g*h
Equating,
(m*v^2)/2 = m*g*h
The mass cancels out from each side, making an object's mass irrelevant when its Kinetic and Potential energies are interchanging.
v = sprt(2gh)
v = sqrt(2*9.81*29.6)
v = 24.1 m/s

Which of the following should maintain the appropriate temperature and humidity levels and provide closed-loop recirculating: a.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

If we define each of the systems that are given in the options we will have to:

Air conditioning is the air treatment that modifies its conditions to suit certain needs, i.e., the process of removing heat and moisture from the interior of an occupied space to improve the comfort of occupants. Air conditioners are also responsible for controlling humidity in closed rooms.

Positive Pressurization is a pressure within a system that is greater than the surrounding environment. Consequently, if there is any leakage of the system with positive pressure, it will leave the surrounding environment. There is no temperature or humidity control here

Ventilation is done by artificially creating depressions or overpressures in air distribution ducts or building areas. The fans are mechanically responsible for increasing the volume flow of air in a system. Moisture is not controlled directly.

Therefore the correct answer is A.
