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.

A grain silo is shown below:grain silo formed by cylinder with radius 5 feet and height 175 feet and a half sphere on the topwha
nekit [7.7K]
Find the volume of the bottom and top separately and then add them.
Cylinder volume is the area of the bottom times the height
(22/7)(5^2)•175=13750 ft^3

The volume of a sphere is
V=(4/3)(22/7)r^3
where r is the radius. Here that's also 5 since it fits on the cylinder.
Also we only want half the sphere so use
V=(2/3)(22/7)•5^3=261.9 ft^3
Which we round upto 262.
Now add the parts together
13750+262=14,012 ft^3

Where could convection currents form? Check all that apply.
KatRina [158]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
  • In a freshwater lake
  • In the atmosphere
  • In Earth's mantle
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Convection currents are types that cause the process of convection, which the transfer of heat energy that occurs in fluids.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Convection currents are circular patterns that occurs in fluids such that the less dense warm fluids rises up while denser cold fluids sinks, </u></em>it is this movement of less dense warm fluid and denser cold fluids that creates circular patterns that causes the process of convection to take place.
  • <em><u>Convection currents may occur in the atmosphere where warm air rises while cold denser air sinks or moves towards the bottom, it may also occur in the mantle of the Earth and water or water bodies such as lakes.</u></em>

Is there a "real" simple machine that has an efficiency of 100%?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

NO

Explanation:

No, a machine cannot be 100% efficient. This is due to the movement of the moving parts siding against each other and causing friction. This friction is the one that creates heat and causes wear and tear between moving ports f the machine hence making the machine to decrease in efficiency with time
