A person, with his ear to the ground, sees a huge stone strike the concrete pavement. A moment later two sounds are heard from t
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The impact occured at a distance of 2478.585 meters from the person.

Explanation:

(After some research on web, we conclude that problem is not incomplete) The element "Part A" may lead to the false idea that question is incomplete. Correct form is presented below:

<em>A person, with his ear to the ground, sees a huge stone strike the concrete pavement. A moment later two sounds are heard from the impact: one travels in the air and the other in the concrete, and they are 6.4 seconds apart. How far away did the impact occur? (Sound speed in the air: 343 meters per second, sound speed in concrete: 3000 meters per second)</em>

Sound is a manifestation of mechanical waves, which needs a medium to propagate themselves. Depending on the material, sound will take more or less time to travel a given distance. From statement, we know this time difference between air and concrete (\Delta t), in seconds:

\Delta t = t_{A}-t_{C} (1)

Where:

t_{C} - Time spent by the sound in concrete, in seconds.

t_{A} - Time spent by the sound in the air, in seconds.

By suposing that sound travels the same distance and at constant speed in both materials, we have the following expression:

\Delta t = \frac{x}{v_{A}}-\frac{x}{v_{C}}

\Delta t = x\cdot \left(\frac{1}{v_{A}}-\frac{1}{v_{C}}  \right)

x = \frac{\Delta t}{\frac{1}{v_{A}}-\frac{1}{v_{C}}  } (2)

Where:

v_{C} - Speed of the sound in concrete, in meters per second.

v_{A} - Speed of the sound in the air, in meters per second.

x - Distance traveled by the sound, in meters.

If we know that \Delta t = 6.4\,s, v_{C} = 3000\,\frac{m}{s} and v_{A} = 343\,\frac{m}{s}, then the distance travelled by the sound is:

x = \frac{\Delta t}{\frac{1}{v_{A}}-\frac{1}{v_{C}}  }

x = 2478.585\,m

The impact occured at a distance of 2478.585 meters from the person.

Tju [1.3M]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct option is A.

A) The increased pressure, pushed the molecules closer together, and caused the marshmallow to shrink.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Jayden experimented, she placed the marshmallow in the syringe and sealed the end. When she depressed the plunger of the syringe, the pressure increased and pushed the molecules closer together and causes the marshmallow to shrink.

Explain the difference between cool air and warm air
Naddik [55]

Answer: ok

Explanation:

The molecules in hot air are moving faster than the molecules in cold air. Because of this, the molecules in hot air tend to be further apart on average, giving hot air a lower density. That means, for the same volume of air, hot air has fewer molecules and so it weighs less.

What are potential impacts of pollution on a watershed? Check all that apply.
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

contaminated drinking water

deaths of sea creatures that are used as a food source

limits to potential economic activities such as a fishing

Explanation:

A watershed is a large area that comprises of drainage area of all the surrounding water bodies meeting at a common affluence point before draining into sea or ocean or any other large water body. Pollution in this area can pollute the small water streams flowing through it, thereby polluting the larger water body into which it drains.  

Thus, the water extracted for drinking from such area will be contaminated. Pollution in larger water body can cause death of water creature and hence pose a threat to fishing.
