You can hear two students talking in the corridor first, then see them due to the speed of sound.

The speed of sound is the distance that sound energy will propagate per unit of time through a medium. At room temperature, the speed of sound in air is about 1125 ft/s (343 m/s).

The speed of sound varies from substance to substance in function of the material density, elasticity and temperature. Typically sound travels most slowly in gases (like air 343 m/s), faster in liquids (like water 1481 m/s) and fastest in solids (like iron 5120 m/s).

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

It is a physical quantity that indicates the displacement of a mobile per unit of time, it is expressed in units of distance per time, for example (miles/h, km/h).

The critical angle between a medium and air is 430. What is the speed of light in that medium?

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.

Explanation:

since the critical angle is Фc = 430, we know that the refractive index is given by:

n = 1/sin(Фc)

= 1/sin(430)

= 1.06

then if n is the refractive index of the medium and c is the speed of light, then the speed of light in the medium is given by:

v = c/n

= (3×10^8)/(1.06)

= 281907786.2 m/s

Therefore, the speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.

An igneous intrusion whose boundaries lie parallel to the layering in the surrounding country rock is considered to be:

ikadub [295]

<span>...a concordant intrusion. In geology, "concordant" means the same as "sill" -- or, an intrusion that has gotten in between older layers of rock (or even beds of volcanic lava). An intrusion with boundaries parallel to layering in surrounding rocks suggests this, meaning it is considered to be a concordant intrusion.</span>

What is a loose icy body with a long narrow orbit?

Bumek [7]

A comet is the loose, icy body with a long, narrow orbit.
Comets are very small solar system body made mainly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comets are not larger than a few kilometers across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices. Their speeds vary depending on their orbits and where they are in it. The closer they are to the sun, the faster they are going.

A ball is dropped from the top of a 77 m building. With what speed does the ball hit the ground? _________ m/s

vitfil [10]

Answer:

38.87 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the ball is dropped from a height = 77 m

u = 0 m/s

s = 77 m

a = g = 9.81 m/s²

Applying the expression as:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Applying values as:

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 77+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=38.87\ m/s$

<u>The speed with which the ball hit the ground = 38.87 m/s</u>
