Two spectators at a soccer game in Montjuic Stadium see, and a moment later hear, the ball being kicked on the playing field. Th

e time delay for spectator A is 0.231 s and for spectator B is 0.128 s. Sight lines from the two spectators to the player kicking the ball meet at an angle of 90°. How far are (a) spectator A and (b) spectator B from the player? (c) How far are the spectators from each other? (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)

Answer:

a) The distance of spectator A to the player is 79.2 m

b) The distance of spectator B to the player is 43.9 m

c) The distance between the two spectators is 90.6 m

Explanation:

a) Knowing the time it takes the sound to reach both spectators, we can calculate their position relative to the player, using this equation:

x = v * t

where:

x = position of the spectators

v = speed of sound

t = time

Then, the position for spectator A relative to the player is:

x = 343 m/s * 0.231 s = 79.2 m

b)For spectator B:

x = 343 m/s * 0.128 s

x = 43.9 m

The distance of spectator A and B to the player is 79.2 m and 43.9 m respectively.

c) To calculate the distance between the spectators, please see the attached figure. Notice that the distance between the spectators is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the sightline of both. We already know the longitude of the two sides. Then, using Pythagoras theorem:

(Distance AB)² = A² + B²

(Distance AB)² = (79.2 m)² + (43.9 m)²

Distance AB = 90. 6 m

I need help with the following three physics problems please!
omeli [17]
None of these is a Physics problem. The numbers, and the fractions that
they appear in, might have come from Physics problems, but these are
nothing more than arithmetic exercises, and they can be whipped out
in a hurry with a little bit of fancy calculator work.  You don't have to
know any Physics in order to answer any of these. 

The first one is 2.7 x 10⁻²⁴ Newton.

A spaceship starting from a resting position accelerates at a constant rate of 9.8 meters per second per second. How long and ho
Verizon [17]

Accelerating at 9.8 m/s² means that every second, the speed is 9.8 m/s faster than it was a second earlier.  It's not important to the problem, but this number (9.8) happens to be the acceleration of gravity on Earth.

1% of the speed of light = (300,000,000 m/s) / 100 = 3,000,000 m/s .

Starting from zero speed, moving (9.8 m/s) faster every second,
how long does it take to reach  3,000,000 m/s ?

           (3,000,000 m/s) / (9.8 m/s²)  =  306,122 seconds .
                                                   (That's  5,102 minutes.)
                                                        (That's  85 hours.)
                                                     (That's  3.54 days.)

Speed at the beginning . . . zero .
Speed at the end . . . 3,000,000 m/s
Average speed . . . . . 1,500,000 m/s

Distance = (average speed) x (time)

               = (1,500,000 m/s) x (306,122 sec) = 4.592 x 10¹¹ meters

                                                                     =  459 million kilometers

                         That's like from Earth
                                                  to       Sun
                                                             to    Earth
                                                                    to        Sun.

A person standing at the edge of a seaside cliff kicks a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of 18 m/s. The cliff is 5
Fed [463]

Answer:

it would take 3.26 seg for the stone to fall to the water

Explanation:

If we ignore air friction then:

h=h₀ + v₀*t -1/2*g*t²

where

h= coordinates of the stone in the y axis ( height of the stone relative to the surface of the water )

h₀ = initial coordinates of the stone ( height of the cliff relative to the surface of the water = 52 m )

v₀ = initial <u>vertical </u>velocity = 0 ( since the ball is kicked horizontally , has only initial horizontal velocity , and has 0 vertical velocity )

t = time to reach a height h

g = gravity = 9.8 m/s²

since v₀ =0

h= h₀ - 1/2*g*t²

h₀ - h =  1/2*g*t²

t= √[2(h₀ - h)/g]

when the stone hits the ground h=0 ( height=0) , then replacing values

t=√[2(h₀ - h)/g]=√[2(52 m- 0 m )/(9.8m/s²)] = 3.26 seg

t= 3.26 seg

it would take 3.26 seg for the stone to fall to the water
