A hiker determines the length of a lake by listening for the echo of her shout reflected by a cliff at the far end of the lake.

She hears the echo 3.7s\; s after shouting. The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s\rm m/s. Determine the length of the lake. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

To solve the exercise it is necessary to take into account the definition of speed as a function of distance and time, and the speed of air in the sound, as well

v=\frac{d}{t}

Where,

V= Velocity

d= distance

t = time

Re-arrange the equation to find the distance we have,

d=vt

Replacing with our values

d= (343)(3.7)

d= 1269.1m

It is understood that the sound comes and goes across the entire lake therefore, the length of the lake is half the distance found, that is

L_{lake} = \frac{d}{2}

L_{lake} = \frac{1269.1}{2}

L_{lake} = 634.55m

Therefore the length of the lake is 634,55m

When a car's velocity is positive and its acceleration is negative, what is happening to the car's motion?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Assuming rightward is positive, the velocity is positive whenever the car is moving to the right, and the velocity is negative whenever the car is moving to the left. The acceleration points in the same direction as the velocity if the car is speeding up, and in the opposite direction if the car is slowing down.

Malik formed a hypothesis that an increase in atmospheric oxygen levels by 10% would cause red-legged grasshoppers to grow large
worty [1.4K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The option C is the correct answer.

Which is, "He varies the nitrogen and carbon dioxide levels in the air from one trial to the next".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The hypothesis of Malik was about the effect of increased oxygen level on the growth of the red-legged grasshoppers.

So the areas of his experiment should be the:

  • Grasshopper type.
  • High oxygen level.
  • Rate of growth of grasshopper.

So all the given options are relevant to his experiment except the third one.

So varying the nitrogen and carbon dioxide level in air could not contribute in his experiment.

What is a transverse wave
Gnom [1K]
<span>A transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular (or right angled) to the direction of energy transfer. If a transverse wave is moving in the positive x-direction, its oscillations are in up and down directions that lie in the y–z plane. Light is an example of a transverse wave.</span>

A vector is parallel to the y axis, what is it x component?<br>​
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

A vector is parallel to the y axis .

Let its magnitude be A . So the vector can be represented as A j .

where i and j are unit vectors in x and y axis direction .

The x component of A j will be dot product of A j with i

The x component of A j = A j . i

= A x 0      [  Since j . i = 0 ]

= 0
