The air temperature is 20°C. You are swimming underwater when you hear a boat noise. Then, 3.5 s later, you hear a crash. If the

speed of sound in water is 1450 m/s, how long after you hear the crash does your friend on the dock beside you hear the crash?

To answer this question we first need to know the distance from the crash to the swimmer and the dock.

The distance is given by:

d=vt

This means that the distance from the crash to the swimmer is:

d=(1450)(3.5)=5075

Therefore the crash happened at 5075 meters from the swimmer.

Now, to determine the time it takes the sound to reach the deck we need to determine the speed of sound on air at that temperature, this is given by:

v=331\sqrt[]{1+\frac{T}{273}}

then if the temperature is 20°C we have:

v=331\sqrt[]{1+\frac{20}{273}}=342.91

Then it takes the sound to reach the deck:

t=\frac{5075}{342.91}=14.8

Finally to determine the time it takes after you hear it we subtract the time it takes for you to hear it, then:

14.8-3.5=11.3

Therefore your friend hear the crash 11.3 seconds after you do.

The lowest note on a grand piano has a frequency of 27.5 Hz. The entire string is 2.00 m long and has a mass of 440g . The vibra
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Tension, T = 2038.09 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of the lowest note on a grand piano, f = 27.5 Hz

Length of the string, l = 2 m

Mass of the string, m = 440 g = 0.44 kg

Length of the vibrating section of the string is, L = 1.75 m

The frequency of the vibrating string in terms of tension is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}

\mu=\dfrac{m}{l}

\mu=\dfrac{0.44}{2}=0.22\ kg/m

T=4L^2f\mu

T=4\times (1.75)^2\times (27.5)^2 \times 0.22

T = 2038.09 N

So, the tension in the string is 2038.09 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

If you are stopped, then get on a bike and accelerate 2 m/s/s south, what us your final velocity after 3 seconds? Please Explain
olga_2 [115]
Vf = Final velocity.
Vi = initial velocity
a = acceleration. 
t = time

Vf = Vi + at

Vf = 0 + (2 m/s^2)(3s)

Vf = 6 m/s south

6. What are the arguments for using real per capita GNI to compare living standards between countries? What weakness does this m
NeTakaya

Answer:

Levels of real per capita GDP are often cited to indicate living standards are higher in one country than another, and, by implication, that some systems of government or sets of government policies are better than others, but this measure of comparative living standards is so flawed as to be practically useless.

Friction pulls directly against the direction of motion (at 180) of a sled, and does -55.2 J of work while the sled moves 8.98 m
zvonat [6]

The magnitude of the force of friction is 6.1 N

Explanation:

The work done by a force when moving an object is given by the equation:

W=Fd cos \theta

where :

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

In this problem, we have:

W = -55.2 J (work done by the force of friction)

d = 8.98 m (displacement of the sled)

\theta=180^{\circ} (because the force of friction acts opposite to the direction of motion)

By solving the equation for F, we find the magnitude of the force of friction on the sled:

F=\frac{W}{d cos \theta}=\frac{-55.2}{(8.98)(cos 180^{\circ})}=6.1 N

M<br> An object has a mass of 5.52 g and a volume of 12 mL. What is the density of the object
shutvik [7]

Answer:

0.46 g/mL

Explanation:

Density can be found using the following formula.

d=\frac{m}{v}

where <em>d</em> is density, <em>m</em> is mass, and <em>v</em> is volume.

We know that the object has a mass of 5.52 grams and a volume of 12 milliliters.

m=5.52 g

v=12 mL

Substitute these values into the formula.

d=\frac{5.52 g}{12 mL}

Divide 5.52 by 12

5.52/12=0.46

d=0.46 g/mL

The density of the object is 0.46 g/mL, and option C is correct.
