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.

What are three effect of force​
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

1. Can change the state of an object(rest to motion/ motion to rest)

2. May change the speed of an object if it is already moving.

3. May change the direction of motion of an object.

Explanation: A force acting on an object causes the object to change its shape or size, to start moving, to stop moving, to accelerate or decelerate.

Convert 3402kgm/s to 20000Newtons
oee [108]

The 3,402 has units of kg-m/s.  That's momentum.  The 20,000 has units of Newtons.  That's force.  Momentum and force are different physical things, and you can't convert them from one to the other.

The best I can do for you is something like this:

Let's say you have a moving object with 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum, and you want to STOP it completely.  You want to stand in front of it and push back on it, hard enough and for long enough to CHANGE its momentum from 3,402 kg-m/s to zero.

Also ... there's a limit to how hard you can push.  The most force you can exert is 20,000 Newtons.

The amount you'll change its momentum is called the <u><em>impulse</em></u> you give it.  The quantity of impulse is (force) x (length of time you push on it).

So you need to keep pushing it back for (T seconds) long enough so that

(20,000 Newtons of force) x (T seconds) = 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum .

Divide each side of that equation by (20,000 Newtons). Then it says:

(T seconds) = (3,402 kg-m/s) / (20,000 Newtons)

<em>T = 0.1701 second</em>

And that's how you provide just enough impulse to stop the flying object ... push on it with 20,000 Newtons of force for exactly 0.1701 second, and it loses all its momentum and falls out of the air onto the ground at your feet.

This story is the closest I can come to anything that looks like "convert"ing momentum into force.

Does the depth of a pot affect how water freezes
Iteru [2.4K]
In my opinion it does. The more water the pot holds, the longer you need to wait for it to freeze. Since there is more water, some parts may not be completely frozen. An experiment you can try is to get an ice cube container and a pot. fill both of them and put them in the freezer for the same amount of time. When you take it out, the ice cubes should be frozen leaving the pot with cold water.
