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

Answer:

Use a faster than normal approach and landing speed.

Explanation

For pilots, it is one of the critical moments of the flight that concentrates 12% of fatal accidents. The main difficulty lies in reaching enough speed to take flight within the space of the runway. At present, it ceased to be a challenge for the aircraft, since the engine power improved, so the takeoff ceased to be the most dangerous moment of the flight.

One of the risks that aircraft face today is that some of the engines fail while the plane accelerates. In that case, the pilot must decide in an instant whether it is better to take flight and solve the problem in the air or if it is preferable not to take off.

Although for many staying on the ground might seem the most sensible option, it is not as simple as it seems: to suddenly decelerate an aircraft, with the weight it has and the speed it reaches can cause accidents. However, today a special cement was designed that runs around the runways of the airports, which when coming into contact with the wheels of the aircraft the ground breaks and helps to slow down.

A circular coil of wire having a diameter of 20.0 cm and 3000 turns is placed in the earth's magnetic field with the normal of t
Bess [88]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Diameter of the coil, d = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Radius of the coil, r = 0.1 m

Number of turns, N = 3000

Induced EMF, \epsilon=1.5\ V

Magnitude of Earth's field, B=10^{-4}\ T

We need to find the angular frequency with which it is rotated. The induced emf due to rotation is given by :

\epsilon=NBA\omega

\omega=\dfrac{\epsilon}{NBA}

\omega=\dfrac{1.5}{3000\times 10^{-4}\times \pi (0.1)^2}

\omega=159.15\ rad/s

So, the angular frequency with which the loop is rotated is 159.15 rad/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of 89.5 g. If 345.2 J of heat are required to heat the substance from 285 K to 305 K
Zinaida [17]

Heat gained in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:<span>

Heat = mC(T2-T1)
345.2 = 89.5(C)(305 - 285)
C = 0.1928 </span>J/g•K
