The echo is heard 2.80 s later, this means this is the time the sound takes to travel to the reflecting object and then back to us. So, during this time, the sound wave has covered the distance L between us and the object twice:
S=2L
The speed of the sound wave is: v=343 m/s, and since it is moving by uniform motion, we can find the distance covered by the wave using
S=vt=(343 m/s)(2.80 s)=960 m
And we said this corresponds to twice the distance between us and the reflecting object, so:
L= \frac{S}{2} = \frac{960 m}{2} =480 m
so, the object is 480 meters away.

A boy and a girl are riding on a merry-go-round which is turning at a constant rate. The boy is near the outer edge, and the gir
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Boy has the greater linear velocity.

Explanation:

The liner velocity in a rotatory system is defined as:

v = ω×r

where,

v is the liner velocity

ω is the angular velocity

r is the radius.

The boy is near the edge and the girl is closer to the center. The scenario is shown in the image below.

As, mentioned in question, they are turning out at a constant rate, so the angular velocities of both the boy and the girl are same.

<u>From the above inference, it can be concluded that now the linear velocity only depends on the radius of the disc. The linear velocity is directly proportional to the distance from the center.</u>

Thus, the greater the distance from the center, the greater the value of liner velocity.

<u>From the question also and from the image also the distance of the boy from the center is greater than the distance of the girl from the center. </u><u>That's why boy has greater linear velocity. </u>

A car is moving at 20 m/s. The driver steps on the gas pedal and accelerates the car for 4 seconds at an acceleration of 4 m/s2.
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

The final velocity of the car is 36 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the car, u = 20 m/s

time of the car acceleration, t = 4 s

acceleration of the car, a = 4 m/s²

the final velocity of the car is calculated as;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity of the car

v = 20 + (4 x 4)

v = 36 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the car is 36 m/s.

Light of wavelength 623.0 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The diffraction pattern is viewed on a screen 76.5 cm from the slit.
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

wave length of light λ = 623 x 10⁻⁹ m .

Distance of screen D = 76.5 x 10⁻² m

width of slit        =      d

Distance on the screen between the second order minimum and the central maximum       =  2  λ D / d

1.11 x 10⁻²  = (2 x 623 x 10⁻⁹ x 76.5 x 10⁻² )/ d

d =  ( 2 x 623 x 10⁻⁹ x 76.5 x 10⁻²) / 1.11 x 10⁻²

= 85872.97 x  10⁻⁹

=  85.87297 x  10⁻⁶

= 85.87 μm

width a of the slit is = 85.87 μm
