Based on the velocity of sound in water,  the depth of the water is 5550 m.

<h3>What is the depth of the water if a transmitted sound pulse returns  an echo 7.4 seconds later?</h3>

The velocity of sound in water =  1500 m/s

Time taken to receive the echo = 7.4 seconds

  • Distance travelled by sound = speed * time

Distance = 1500 * 7.4

Distance = 11100 m

Since this is a to and fro distance covered

  • Depth of the water = distance travelled/ 2

Depth of water = 11100/2

Depth of water = 5550 m

Therefore, the depth of the water is 5550 m.

An electron follows a helical path in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.340 T. The pitch of the path is 6.00 µm, and the m
dedylja [7]

Answer:

The electron's speed is 34007.35 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.34 T

Magnetic force on the electron, F=1.85\times 10^{-15}\ N

The electron follows a helical path. We have to find the speed of an electron. The formula for magnetic force is given by :

F=B\times q\times v

q = charge on an electron, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

v = velocity of an electron

v=\dfrac{F}{Bq}

v=\dfrac{1.85\times 10^{-15}\ N}{0.34\ T\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C}

v = 34007.35 m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 15 kg object and a 18 kg object are connected by a massless compressed spring and
MatroZZZ [7]

Hi there!

This is an example of a recoil collision.

Using the conservation of momentum:

p_i = p_f

The initial momentum is 0 kgm/s (objects start from rest), so:

p_f = 0

We are given that the 15 kg block has a velocity of 12 m/s to the left, so:

m_1v_1' + m_2v_2' = 0 \\\\15(-12) + 18v_2' = 0 \\\\

Solve for v2':

18v_2' = 180 \\\\v_2' = \boxed{10 m/s}

A visitor is staying in a tent that is 11 kilometers west of the closest point on a shoreline to a coral reef. The coral reef is
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question, it says that their tent is 11 km away from the shore which is also 3 km away from the coral reef. Essentially, the tent us 11 + 3 km away from the coral reef, and that's 14 km. He has to run at a rate of 7 know to cover an 11 km length and swim at 2 kmph to cover a 3 km length.

All the visitor needs to do is run more than 7 kmph to reduce the days time. For example, running at 11 kmph takes him or her exactly 1 hour to reach the shore, before taking another swim of about an hour to reach the reef
