Answer: 49.5 m
Explanation:
The speed of sound is given by a relation between the distance
and the time
:
(1)
Where:
is the speed of sound in air (taking into account this value may vary according to the medium the sound wave travels)
since we are told th hunter was initially 412.5 meters from the cliff and then moves a distance
towards the cliff
Since the time given as data (2.2 s) is the time it takes to the sound wave to travel from the hunter's gun and then go back to the position where the hunter is after being reflected by the cliff
Having this information clarified, let's isolate and then find
:
(2)
(3)
Finding :
This is the distance at which the hunter is from the cliff.
Answer:
(a) 3.807 s
(b) 145.581 m
Explanation:
Let Δt = t2 - t1 be the time it takes from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car. We know that before the acceleration, both vehicles are travelling at a constant speed. So they would maintain a distance of 58 m prior to the acceleration.
The distance traveled by car after Δt (seconds) at speed is
The distance traveled by the motorcycle after Δt (seconds) at speed and acceleration of a = 8 m/s2 is
We know that the motorcycle catches up to the car after Δt, so it must have covered the distance that the car travels, plus their initial distance:
(b)
