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.

Answer:0kgm/s

Explanation:

Momentum before collision=momentum after collision

Since the momentum of the two blocks have positive sign, it means they are moving in thesame direction

Therefore we use the formula

Momentum (A)+momentum (B)=Momentum (A)+momentum (B)

25+35=60+momentum (B)

60=60+momentum (B)

Momentum (B)=60-60

Momentum (B)=0kgm/s

a container of water is knocked off a 10.0 meter high ledge with a horizontal velocity of 1.00 meters/second. calculate the time
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1.43 s

Explanation:

The time it takes for the container to reach the ground is determined only by the vertical motion of the container, which is a free-fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion with a constant acceleration of g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground.

The vertical distance covered by an object in free fall is given by

S=ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where

u = 0 is the initial vertical speed

t is the time

a= g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

since u=0, it can be rewritten as

S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

And substituting S=10.0 m, we can solve for t, to find the duration of the fall:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(10.0 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=1.43 s

A 3.0kg weight W is initially at rest on incline AB, which is raised 40° above the horizontal. The effective coefficient is
lakkis [162]

(a) The acceleration of the system is determined as 1.58 m/s².

(b) The relative weight of P is pounds is determined as 0.14 lb.

<h3>Acceleration of the system</h3>

The acceleration of the system is calculated as follows;

W - T = m₂a --- (1)

T = m₁a ----(2)

μmgsinθ - m₁a = m₂a

(0.3 x 3 x 9.8 x sin40) - (0.4 + 0.2)a = 3a

5.67 - 0.6a = 3a

5.67 = 3.6a

a = 5.67/3.6

a = 1.58 m/s²

<h3> Relative Weight of P</h3>

W = ma

W = 0.4 x 1.58

W = 0.632 N = 0.14 lb

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

PART ONE
Lina20 [59]

Explanation:

Make a table, listing the x and y coordinates of each square's center of gravity and its mass.  Multiply the coordinates by the mass, add the results for each x and y, then divide by the total mass.

\left\begin{array}{ccccc}x&y&m&xm&ym\\\frac{a}{2} &\frac{a}{2} &10&5a&5a\\\frac{3a}{2}&\frac{a}{2}&70&105a&35a\\\frac{a}{2}&\frac{3a}{2}&80&40a&120a\\\frac{3a}{2}&\frac{3a}{2}&50&75a&75a\\&\sum&210&225a&235a\\&&Avg&\frac{15a}{14}&\frac{47a}{42}\end{array}\right

The x-coordinate of the center of gravity is 15/14 a.

The y-coordinate of the center of gravity is 47/42 a.
