5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity of sound in air at 20 degree = 343 m/s

Velocity of sound in water at 20 degree = 1470 m/s

Time taken in to and fro movement in air

=( 2 x 10) / 343 = 0.0583 s

Rest of the time  is

.171 - .0583 = .1127 s

This time is taken to cover distance in water. If d be the depth of lake

2d / velocity = time taken

2 d / 1470 = .1127

d = 82.83 m

If an object falls with constant acceleration, the velocity of the object must continually change by varying amounts, depending
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

continually change by the same amount each second

Explanation:

We all are aware  with the fact that a car speeds is increased when we put our feet  on the accelerator. The rate at which the particle's velocity change with time is called its acceleration. If the particle's velocity changes with constant rate, then its rate is called the constant acceleration.

Since the basic units are meter and seconds. And the SI unit of velocity is m/s and acceleration's SI unit is m/s^{2}

For example if the velocity is change from 2 to 4 m/s in 1 sec its acceleration is 2m/s^{2} and again its velocity is change with 4 m/s to 6 m/s will again give constant acceleration in 1 s is 2m/s^{2}.
