At a height of ten meters above the surface of a freshwater lake, a sound pulse is generated. the echo from the bottom of the lake returns to the point of origin 0.171 s later. the air and water temperatures are 20°c. how deep is the lake?

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

hello, i am papaguy.

i have found an answer to your question but use it as information.

information: because weak acids/bases have low concentration of hydrogen ions, the addition of water has a large impact on the ph. 2. a difference in 1 unit is a 10x difference in concentration for example; a liquid with ph of 3 is 10x more acidic than a liquid with a ph of 4. therefore, a liquid with a ph of 3 is stronger.

best of luck!
