Apply conservation of momentum

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow m1v1+m2v2=(m1+M2)v3

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 0.045(400)+16(0)=(0.045+16)V3

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 18=16.045v3

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow v3=1.12m/s

You yell into a canyon. You hear the echo in 3 seconds. How long did the sound of your voice travel before bouncing off a cliff?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The sound travelled 516 meters before bouncing off a cliff.

Explanation:

The sound is an example of mechanical wave, which means that it needs a medium to propagate itself at constant speed. The time needed to hear the echo is equal to twice the height of the canyon divided by the velocity of sound. In addition, the speed of sound through the air at a temperature of 20 ºC is approximately 344 meters per second. Then, the height of the canyon can be derived from the following kinematic formula:

2\cdot h = v\cdot t (1)

Where:

h - Height, measured in meters.

v - Velocity of sound, measured in meters per second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

If we know that  v = 344\,\frac{m}{s} and t = 3\,s, then the height of the canyon is:

h = \frac{v\cdot t}{2}

h = \frac{\left(344\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (3\,s)}{2}

h = 516\,m

The sound travelled 516 meters before bouncing off a cliff.

Light travels approximately 982,080,000 ft/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. A light year is the distance li
larisa86 [58]

A. 1.8600 x 105 mi/s

Explanation:

The problem gives us the value of the speed of light in ft/s: v=982,080,000 ft/s

We know the conversion factor between feet and miles:

1 mi = 5280 ft

So we can apply this conversion factor to the speed of light:

v=982,080,000 ft/s \cdot \frac{1}{5280 ft/mi}=186,000 mi/s=1.86\cdot 10^5 mi/s
