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.

Answer:

12 meters per second (12 m/s)

why?

Because if you divide 10 seconds by 10 and 120 by 10, you will get 12 meters in 1 second.

What is the inverse square law and how does it relate to gravity?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Inverse Square Law Newton proposed the Inverse Square Law. The effect of gravity (and also on forces such as sunlight) works like this. If say we have a half-mass Earth, it would produce a gravity of not half but a quarter (the square of 2).

How does a car get energy?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Explanation:

Just like your body converts food into energy, a car engine converts gas into motion. ... The process of converting gasoline into motion is called "internal combustion." Internal combustion engines use small, controlled explosions to generate the power needed to move your car all the places it needs to go.
