From the calculations, the speed of sound in this case is 16.9 m/s.

The term echo has to do with the reflection of sound waves. Sound is a mechanical wave.

we know that the speed of sound is obtained from;

V = 2x/t

x = distance covered

t = time taken

V = 2(500)/59

v = 16.9 m/s

The error in the experiment could come from;

Lack of precise time measurement
Error can also arise from the environment of the experiment

Tires of a Bigfoot truck has a diameter of 2.2 m. If it rotates 60 revolutions find distance travel on the road.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

$s = 414.7 m\\$

Explanation:

The relationship between the linear distance covered by an object and its angular displacement is given by the following formula:

s = rθ

where,

s = distance traveled on road = ?

r radius of tires = diameter/2 = 2.2 m/2 = 1.1 m

θ = angular displacement = (60 rev)(2π rad/1 rev) = 377 rad

Therefore,

$s = (1.1 m)(377 rad)\\s = 414.7 m$

Two objects are dropped from rest from the same height. Object A falls through a distance Da and during a time t, and object B f

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Da=(1/4)Db

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

When s = Da, t = t

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow Da=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times t^2\\\Rightarrow Da=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

When s = Db, t = 2t

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow Da=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times (2t)^2\\\Rightarrow Db=\frac{1}{2}a4t^2$

Dividing the two equations

$\frac{Da}{Db}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}at^2}{\frac{1}{2}a4t^2}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow \frac{Da}{Db}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow Da=\frac{1}{4}Db$

Hence, Da=(1/4)Db

A 70-kg ice skater is standing still on the ice, when a friend tosses him a 10-kg ball that is traveling at +8 m/s. If he catche

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:+1.25 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of ice skater M=70 kg

mass of ball m=10 kg

the initial velocity of the ball $u_1=+8\ m/s$

Conserving linear momentum

$M\times0+m\timesu_1=(M+m)v\quad \quad [v=\text{combined velocity of skater and ball}]$

$v=\dfrac{10\times10}{80}=+1.25\ m/s$

Therefore the velocity of the person holding the ball is 1.25 m/s

This collision represents the perfectly inelastic collision where particles stick together after the collision.

Mathematically speaking, the energy of a wave is directionally proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave Calculate

kenny6666 [7]

The energy of the wave is D) 16.0 units squared

Explanation:

The energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave.

Mathematically, this can be written as

$E\propto A^2$

where

E is the energy of the wave

A is its amplitude

For the wave in this problem, the amplitude is

A = 4 units

Therefore, assuming that the constant of proportionality is 1, the energy of this wave is

$E=A^2=4^2=16$ units squared
