Answer:

560 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound in air is approximately:

v ≈ v₀ + 0.6T

where v₀ is the speed of sound at 0°C (273 K) in m/s, and T is the temperature in Celsius.

The speed of sound at 20°C at that altitude is:

v ≈ 327 + 0.6(20)

v ≈ 339 m/s

The sound travels from the hikers to the mountain and back again, so it travels twice the distance.

339 m/s = 2d / 3.3 s

2d = 1118.7 m

d = 559.35 m

Rounding, the mountain is approximately 560 m away.

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2. What is the gravitational potential energy of a 1200-kg lander resting

Monica [59]

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The equation for gravitational potential energy is GPE = mgh.

GPE = 1200(1.6)(350) = 672000 J

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

At a certain distance from a point charge, the potential and electric-field magnitude due to that charge are 4.98 V and 16.2 V/m

son4ous [18]

Answer:

A. 30.7cm

B. $1.7*10^{-10}C$

C. The electric field is directed away from the point of charge

Explanation:

$because, E=\frac{v}{d} \\\\d= \frac{4.98}{16.2}\\\\ d = 0.307m\\\\d = 30.7 cm$

Considering Gauss's law

$EA = \frac{Q}{e}\\\\ where, e = pertittivity. space= 8.85* 10^{-12} Fm^{-1} \\\\A = surface. area. with.radius 0.307m\\Q= eEA = (8.85*10^{-12})(16.2)(4\pi)(0.307)^{2}\\\\= 1.7*10^{-10}C$

C. The electric field directed away from the point of charge when the charge is positive.
