Ahiker determines the length of a lake by listening for the echo of her shout reflected by a cliff at the far end of the lake. she hears the echo 3.7s\; s after shouting. the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s\rm m/s. determine the length of the lake. express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

To solve the exercise it is necessary to take into account the definition of speed as a function of distance and time, and the speed of air in the sound, as well

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

Where,

V= Velocity

d= distance

t = time

Re-arrange the equation to find the distance we have,

d=vt

Replacing with our values

d= (343)(3.7)

d= 1269.1m

It is understood that the sound comes and goes across the entire lake therefore, the length of the lake is half the distance found, that is

$L_{lake} = \frac{d}{2}$

$L_{lake} = \frac{1269.1}{2}$

$L_{lake} = 634.55m$

Therefore the length of the lake is 634,55m

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like $\frac{1}{3}$ . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

max planckalbert einsteinerwin schrödingermany

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

superposition (where 1 thing can be this and that at the same time),entanglement (where two particles are seemingly connected by some sort of unknown (or known) force, energy, matter (i know all that can be the same at least it was at the beginning)

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!

Arotating space station is said to create “artificial gravity”—a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be crudely similar to gravity. the outer wall of the rotating space station would become a floor for the astronauts, and centripetal acceleration supplied by the floor would allow astronauts to exercise and maintain muscle and bone strength more naturally than in non-rotating space environments. if the space station is 200 m in diameter, what angular velocity would produce an “artificial gravity” of 9.80 m/s^{2} 2 at the rim?
