You are on a boat in a fog and know there are cliffs ahead of you somewhere, but you cannot see them. you use your fog horn to s

end out a blast of sound (assume the temperature of the air is 20 oc) and the time it takes for the sound to return to you is 20.0 s. how far away are the cliffs (in metric units)

The distance of the cliff from where you are is determined as 3,430 m.

<h3>Distance of the cliff</h3>

Apply the formula for echo.

v = 2d/t

where;

  • v is speed of sound at 20 ⁰C = 343 m/s
  • d is distance = ?
  • t is time = 20 s

2d = vt

d = vt/2

d = (343 x 20)/2

d = 3430 m

Thus, the distance of the cliff from where you are is determined as 3,430 m.

An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. A 1.95 kg mass is hung from the spring, stretching the spring a distance d=0.0865 m from
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

kinetic energy = 0.1168 J

Explanation:

From Hooke's law, we know that ;

F = kx

k = F/x

We are given ;

Mass; m = 1.95 kg

Spring stretch; d = x = 0.0865

So, Force = mg = 1.95 × 9.81

k = 1.95 × 9.81/0.0865 = 221.15 N/m

Now, initial energy is;

E1 = mgL + ½k(x - L)²

Also, final energy; E2 = ½kx² + ½mv²

From conservation of energy, E1 = E2

Thus;

mgL + ½k(x - L)² = ½kx² + ½mv²

Making the kinetic energy ½mv² the subject, we have;

½mv² = mgL + ½k(x - L)² - ½kx²

We are given L=0.0325 m

Plugging other relevant values, we have ;

½mv² = (1.95 × 9.81 × 0.0325) + (½ × 221.15(0.0865 - 0.0325)² - ½(221.15 × 0.0865²)

½mv² = 0.62170875 + 0.3224367 - 0.82734979375

½mv² = 0.1168 J

Which factor indicates the amount of charge on the source charge?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

B. the number of field lines on the source charge

Explanation:

As we know that electric flux is defined as the number of electric field lines passing through a given area.

So here  electric flux due to a point charge "q" is given by

so here we know that flux depends on the magnitude of charge and hence we can say that number of filed lines originating from a point charge will depends on the magnitude of the charge.

Rama09 [41]

1. The light phenomena happen due to the refraction of light upon hitting the small crystals that make up cirrus or cirrostratus clouds is called Sundogs.

2.A light phenomena which are formed when light passes through clouds and strikes the ice crystals in them is called Halos.

3.A light phenomenon formed from the combination of several light properties like refraction, reflection, and dispersion is Rainbow.

4.  Rainbow are created after a rain shower and Sun light.

5. A visible accumulations of tiny water droplets or ice crystals.

in the Earth’s atmosphere are called Clouds.

6. There are seven colors in a rainbow.

7. The kind of rainbows are formed when light strikes small raindrops with almost the same size are Supernumerary rainbows.

8.The kind of rainbows are formed when two inner reflections are done instead of one; this causes the reversal of colors in a secondary rainbow in comparison to a primary rainbow are Secondary rainbows.

9. A reflective surface that is curved inward and away from the light source is concave mirror.

10. The kind of mirror are curved outward like the bottom

of a spoon is convex mirror.

<h3>What is reflection?</h3>

When a light strikes on a shiny surface, it reflects back the light ray in the same medium. The phenomenon is called reflection and the ray is called the reflected ray.

Thus, all the questions are answered.
