Answer: depth = 3.75 m

Explanation:

Taken the speed of the sound in sea to be V = 1500 m/s

The time between an echo sounder sending and receiving a pulse is 0.005 s. That is,

Total time T = 0.005

Formula for echo is:

V = 2X/T

Where X = distance covered

Substitute V and T into the formula

1500 = 2X/0.005

Cross multiply

7.5 = 2X

Make X the subject of formula

X = 7.5/2

X = 3.75 m

Therefore, the depth of the sea is 3.75 m

Sergeu [11.5K]

Explanation:

Given that,

The box of oranges cannot exceed a mass of 10.222 Kg if we are sending to a friend by mail.

The mass of each orange is 198 g

We know that,

1 kg = 1000 g

10.222 kg = 10.222×1000 g

Let there are n number of oranges. So,

$n=\dfrac{10.222\times 1000\ g}{198\ g}\\\\n=51.92\approx 52\ \text{oranges}$

It means she can send 52 oranges and it is maximum quantity.

Which object experiences the greatest gravitational force? A)car B)fire truck C)plane D)human

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: C Plane

Explanation: According to Newton's law, gravitational force is proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

Gravitational force depends on mass. The bigger the mass, the more the magnitude of the gravitational force. Since plane is assume to have the highest mass in the options, we can therefore conclude that plane will experience the highest gravitational force.

How many centimeters are there in meter? b. 10 c. d 1000 e. 10000 100 2. A centimeter is equal to 1 inch b.½inch C 1/2.54 inch

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

a) There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.

b) $\texttt{A cm is equal to }\frac{1}{2.54}\texttt{ inch}$

Explanation:

a) We have the conversion

1 m = 100 cm

So there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.

b) 1 inch = 2.54 cm

$1cm=\frac{1}{2.54}inch$

$\texttt{A cm is equal to }\frac{1}{2.54}\texttt{ inch}$
