A ship is cruising slowly through a channel with steep canyon walls on each side. The captain blows his foghorn and an echo from one wall is heard 4.2 s after the horn was sounded. The echo from the other wall is heard 6.5 s after the first echo. How wide is the channel? Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.

Estimate the kinetic energy of mars with respect to the sun as the sum of two terms, that due to its daily rotation about its axis, and that due to its yearly revolution about the sun. (assume mars is a uniform sphere with mass = 6.4×10 to the power of 23 kg, radius = 3.4×10 to the power of 6 m, rotation period = 24.7 hours, orbital period = 686 days and is 2.3×10 to the power of 8 km from the sun.)
