Answer:
Explanation:
Speed is defined as the rate at which an object covers a particular distance. So the formula for determining speed is given as the ratio of distance to time taken for covering that distance.
Speed = Distance/Time
As here the distance is given in km units and time in s units, so the units of any one parameter should be changed. Since we know that speed of sound is always about 300 m/s. So it is better to convert the unit of distance from km to m.
Hence, now the distance traveled by the noise is 2000 m and time taken is 5.8 s.
So the speed of noise = Distance/Time = 2000/5.8=345 m/s.
Thus, the speed of noise is slightly greater than the speed of sound and it is found to be 345 m/s.
Answer:
a

b

Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the rock is 
The length of the small object from the rock is 
The length of the small object from the branch 
An image representing this lever set-up is shown on the first uploaded image
Here the small object acts as a fulcrum
The force exerted by the weight of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

substituting values


So at equilibrium the sum of the moment about the fulcrum is mathematically represented as

Here
is very small so
and 
Hence

=> 
substituting values


The mechanical advantage is mathematically evaluated as

substituting values


8.64
×10^4
this is 86400 in scientific notation
