Answer: 24.2

Explanation:

Given that:

Time taken for sound travel = 0.02 seconds

Speed of traveling sound wave = 1210 m/s

Depth of pond = ?

Recall that speed is obtained by dividing the distance covered (depth travelled) by the time taken.

Hence, speed = (depth travelled / time taken)

1210 m/s = depth travelled / 0.02 seconds

Depth travelled = 1210 m/s x 0.02 seconds

Depth travelled = 24.2 m

Thus, the pond is 24.2 metres deep

Answer:

A) 0.50 mV

Explanation:

In this problem, we can think the wings of the bird as a metal rod moving across a magnetic field. So, and emf will be induced into the wings of the bird, according to the formula:

$\epsilon = BvL sin \theta$
