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.

Degger [83]

Yes, it's true.

But 2nd Newton Law always come to play when the horse is to move forward because obviously the forces interact antagonistically and mass has to be accounted for.

That's what I think. Hope it's right, all the best.

What is the difference between parallel and series​
DiKsa [7]

In a series circuit, the sum of the voltages consumed by each individual resistance is equal to the source voltage. ... In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each component.
