A group of hikers hear an echo 3.3 s after they shout. The temperature is 20◦C.

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.

Why are images reflected from a rough surface not as clear as those reflected from a smooth
ioda

Answer:

Just as images are reflected from the surface of a mirror, light reflected from a smooth water surface also produced a clear image. ... Consequently, the outgoing rays are reflected at many different angles and the image is disrupted. Reflection from such a rough surface is called diffuse reflection and appears matte.

What force does a trampoline have to apply to a 45.0-kg gymnast to accelerate her straight up at 7.50 m/s^2? (a) 104N (b) 338 N
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

b) 338 N

Explanation: let m be the mass of the gymnast and a be the acceleration of the gymnast.

the force required to accelerate the gymnast is given by:

F = m×a

  = (45.0)×(7.50)

  = 337.5 N

Therefore, the force a trampoline has to apply is 138 N.

Problem #2: An apple is thrown upward with an initial velocity of +24.0 m/s. a. Sketch the apple's trip and label what you know.
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The initial velocity (u) = 24 m/s

We can solve this problem using the formula:

v² = u² - 2gh

where v = final velocity, g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², h = height.

At maximum height, the final velocity = 0 m/s

v² = u² - 2gh

0² = 24² - 2(9.8)h

2(9.8)h = 24²

2(9.8)h = 576

19.6h = 576

h = 29.4 m

b) The time taken to reach the maximum height is given as:

v = u - gt

0 = 24 - 9.8t

9.8t = 24

t = 2.45 s

The total time needed for the apple to return to its original position = 2t = 2 * 2.45 = 4.9 s
