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.

If a ball is thrown up at an initial speed of 40. m/s, how many seconds does it take to reach the top of its path?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Time, t = 4.08 secs

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Initial velocity, U = 40m/s

To find the time, we would use the first equation of motion;

V = U + at

Where;

  • V is the final velocity.
  • U is the initial velocity.
  • a is the acceleration.
  • t is the time measured in seconds.

<em>Making time, t the subject of formula, we have;</em>

t = \frac{V - U}{a}

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is 9.8m/s².

a = g = - 9.8m/s² because the ball is thrown in the opposite direction.  

Also, the final velocity is equal to zero (0) because the ball reached its maximum height.

<em>Substituting into the equation, we have;</em>

t = \frac{0 - 40}{-9.8}

t = \frac{-40}{-9.8}

Time, t = 4.08 secs

<em>Therefore, it will take the ball 4.08 seconds to reach the top. </em>

-How can a camera help someone see something he or she wouldn't normally be able to see?
joja [24]

Answer:

》How can a camera help someone see something he or she wouldn't normally be able to see?

- Although the human eye is able to observe fast events as they happen, it is not able to focus on a single point of time. We cannot freeze motion with our eyes. With a camera, however, so long as there is enough light, we can freeze motion. ... The camera can capture 'the moment', while your eye cannot.

》In what way is laser different from light produced by other sources?

-The major difference between laser light and light generated by white light sources (such as a light bulb) is that laser light is monochromatic, directional and coherent. ... Light from a conventional sources, such as a light bulb diverges, spreading in all directions.

If a 5000-kg is moving at a speed of 43 m/s, what is its momentum?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

215000kgm/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the moving body  = 5000kg

Velocity  = 43m/s

Unknown:

Momentum  = ?

Solution:

The momentum of a body is the amount of motion a body possess.

 It is mathematically expressed as:

  Momentum  = mass x velocity

 Now:

  Momentum  = 5000 x 43  = 215000kgm/s
