Answer:

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the rate at which an object covers a particular distance. So the formula for determining speed is given as the ratio of distance to time taken for covering that distance.

Speed = Distance/Time

As here the distance is given in km units and time in s units, so the units of any one parameter should be changed. Since we know that speed of sound is always about 300 m/s. So it is better to convert the unit of distance from km to m.

Hence, now the distance traveled by the noise is 2000 m and time taken is 5.8 s.

So the speed of noise = Distance/Time = 2000/5.8=345 m/s.

Thus, the speed of noise is slightly greater than the speed of sound and it is found to be 345 m/s.

If a trapezoidal channel has side slopes of 1:1, hydraulic depth is 5 feet, the bottom width is 8 feet, flow is 2,312 cubic feet

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

$S = \dfrac{1}{2.5}$

Explanation:

given,

side slope = 1 : 1

hydraulic depth(y) = 5 ft

bottom width (b)= 8 ft

x = 1

Q = 2,312 ft³/s

n = 0.013

slope of channel = ?

$R = \dfrac{A}{P}$

$R = \dfrac{y(b + xy)}{b+2y\sqrt{1+x^2}}$

$R = \dfrac{5(8+ 5)}{8+2\times 5\sqrt{1+1^2}}$

R = 4.69 m

using manning's equation

$Q = \dfrac{1}{n}AR^{2/3} S^{1/2}$

$2312= \dfrac{1}{0.013}\times (5(8+5))\times 4.69^{2/3} S^{1/2}$

$2312=14009.37\times S^{1/2}$

S = 0.406

$S = \dfrac{1}{2.5}$

A 1060-kg car moving west at 16 m/s collides with and locks onto a 1830-kg stationary car. determine the velocity of the cars ju

iren [92.7K]

M1U1 + M2V2 = (M1+M2)V, where M1 is the mass of the moving car, M2 is the mass of the stationary car, U1 is the initial velocity, and V is the common velocity after collision.
therefore;
(1060× 16) + (1830 ×0) = (1060 +1830) V
16960 = 2890 V
V = 5.869 m/s
The velocity of the cars after collision will be 5.689 m/s
