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 jet plane flying 600 m/s experiences an acceleration of 4g when pulling out of the dive. What is the radius of curvature of th
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The radius of the curve is 9,183.67 m.

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the jet plane, v = 600 m/s

acceleration of the jet plane, a = 4g = 4 x 9.8 m/s² = 39.2 m/s²

The radius of the curve is calculated from centripetal acceleration formula as given below;

a = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\r = \frac{v^2}{a} \\\\r = \frac{600^2}{39.2} \\\\r = 9,183.67 \ m

Therefore, the radius of the curve is 9,183.67 m.

Each element has an atomic number state which is meant by atomic number
netineya [11]

Answer: The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, and isotopes have the same atomic number but differ in the number of neutrons. The number of protons in an atom is called its atomic number. This number is very important because it is unique for atoms of a given element. All atoms of an element have the same number of protons, and every element has a different number of protons in its atoms.

New substances are formed by chemical reactions. When elements react together to form compounds their atoms join to other atoms using chemical bonds. For example, iron and sulfur react together to form a compound called iron sulfide. Hopefully this will help you decide...

A small fan has blades that have a radius of 0.0600 m. When the fan is turned on, the tips of the blades have a tangential accel
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

α = 395 rad/s²

Explanation:

Main features of uniformly accelerated circular motion

A body performs a uniformly accelerated circular motion   when its trajectory is a circle and its angular acceleration is constant  (α = cte). In it the velocity vector is tangent at each point to the trajectory and, in addition, its magnitude varies uniformly.

There is tangential acceleration (at) and is constant.

at = α*R     Formula (1)

where

α  is the angular acceleration

R is the radius of the circular path

There is normal or centripetal acceleration that determines the change in direction of the velocity vector.

Data

R = 0.0600 m   :blade radius

at = 23.7 m/s² : tangential acceleration of the blades

Angular acceleration of the blades (α)

We replace data in the formula (1)

at = α*R  

23.7 = α*(0.06)

α = (23.7) / (0.06)

α = 395 rad/s²

A proton, an electron, and a helium nucleus all move at speed v. Rank their de Broglie wavelengths from largest to smallest. Wri
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The correct option is 'c':electron,proton,helium nucleus

Explanation:

The De-Broglie's wavelength of particle is given by

\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}

Thus we can see that wavelength is inversely related to mass of the particle since 'h' (Plank's constant) and velocity is same for all the particles  

Thus we conclude that the the lightest particle will have the most wavelength

Electron being the lightest of the 3 particles will have the largest wavelength thus the correct option is 'c'. Since electron has the largest wavelength followed by proton and the least wavelength among the 3 is of helium.
