solving for b. Oil explorers often set off explosives to make loud sounds, then listen for the echoes from underground oil deposits. Geologists suspect that there is oil under 520-m-deep Lake Physics. It's known that Lake Physics rests on top of solid granite. The speed of sound in water is 1480 m/s and the speed of sound in granite is 6000 m/s. a. If an explosion is created at the surface of the lake, what time after the explosion do the explorers expect to hear an echo from the bottom of the lake in seconds? t bottom = 0.703 sec. b. In addition to the expected echo from the bottom of the lake, explorers also detect a faint echo 0.960 s after exploding the dynamite at the lake surface. If it's really oil, how deep will they have to drill through the granite to reach it in meters?

2. The position of a drone as a function of time is given by *(t) = ( 8 i + 1.5 k) + (-3 î + 2 j) t – 0.5 t2 j The units are missing in the constant coefficients above, i.e., "0.5" should be "0.5 m/s2". Include the correct units on all the constant coefficients in your answers below. a. What is the x-position of the drone as a function of time? b. What is the y-position of the drone as a function of time? c. How far away is the drone from its starting position at t = 3s? d. What is the acceleration vector? е. What is the velocity vector as a function of time? (One way to do this is to take the time derivative of the position vector.) f. Make a sketch of the x, y, and z positions of the drone as function of time. You just need the general shape. time time time
6. A train is moving with a constant speed. The train moves 60 meters for every 1.5 seconds that elapses. a. Assume that we get 40 by dividing 60 by 1.5. What is the name that is commonly given to a quantity represented by this number 40? b. To denote the quantity completely, what additional information must be given besides the number 40? c. How would you interpret the number 40 in this instance? Your answer should mention distance and time. d. Use your interpretation (not algebra) to find the distance the train moves in 2.5 seconds.
