Answer

given,

Echo time = t = 1000 s

speed = ?

v = \dfrac{d}{t}

a) speed of electromagnetic wave

c = \dfrac{d}{t}

wave travels Venus two time

c = \dfrac{2d}{t}

d = \dfrac{ct}{2}

d = \dfrac{3 \times 10^8\times 1000}{2}

d = 1.5 x 10¹¹ m

b) now, echo time

    c = \dfrac{2d}{t}

    t = \dfrac{2d}{c}

    t = \dfrac{2\times 75}{3 \times 10^8}

          t = 5 x 10⁻⁷ s

Answer: Electron Cloud Model

Explanation:

The electron cloud model says that we cannot know exactly where an electron is at any given time, but the electrons are more likely to be in specific areas. These areas are specified by orbitals. The orbitals are specified by shells and sub-orbitals. In the Bohr model, electrons are assigned to different shells.

Which of the following is the energy of motion?
Bogdan [553]

Kinetic energy is the energy of the motion.

This is because the kinetic energy can be calculated by using the formula,

K.E.=1/2 mv^2

where, v is the velocity of moving body i.e. the body is in motion.

What is the change in entropy per mole associated with the melting of gold? the melting point of gold is 1337k and the â†hfus is
riadik2000 [5.3K]
The entropy change<span> of the surroundings is driven by heat flow and the heat flow determines the sign of ΔS</span>surr<span>. It can be calculated by the following expression:

</span>ΔSsurr = -(ΔH) / T

We calculate as follows:

ΔSsurr = -13200 / 1337 = 9.87 J/ K mol

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

The speed of sound in air is 320 ms-1 and in water it is 1600 ms-1. It takes 2.5 s for sound to reach a certain distance from th
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Distance covered by the sound in air is 800 meter and the time taken by the sound in water for the same distance is 0.5 seconds.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of sound in air = 320 m/s

Speed of sound in water = 1600 m/s

Time taken to reach certain distance in air = 2.5 sec

a.

We have to find the distance traveled by sound in air.

Distance = Product of speed and time.

⇒ Distance = Speed\times time\ taken

⇒ Distance = 320\times 2.5

⇒ Distance = 800 meters.

b.

Now we have to find how much time the sound will take to travel in water.

⇒ Time = Ratio of distance and speed

⇒ Time =\frac{distance}{speed}

⇒ Time =\frac{800}{1600}   <em>   ...distance = 800 m and speed = 1600 m/s</em>

⇒ Time =\frac{1}{2}

⇒ Time =0.5 seconds.

Distance covered by the sound in air is 800 meter and the time taken by the sound in water for the same distance is 0.5 seconds.
