Why echoes are undesirable in a big hall

1 answer:

5 0

Echo means repetition of sound..If someone is speaking there will be two sounds..one which he is speaking right now and the other sound which he/she spoke earlier ..this will lead to confusion..in big halls the distance would be more than 17 m between the walls which will cause echo and not reverberation(prolongation of sound)

Hope this helps!

A physics student standing on the edge of a cliff throws a stone vertically downward with an initial speed of 10 m/s. The instan

Answer:

The velocity just before hitting the ground is $v_f = 30 m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial speed is $u = 10 m/s$

The final speed is $v = 30 \ m/s$

From the equations of motion we have that

$v^2 =u^2 + 2as$

Where s is the distance travelled which is the height of the cliff

So making it the subject of the the formula we have that

$s = \frac{v^2 - u^2 }{2a}$

Where a is the acceleration due to gravity with a value $a = 9.8m/s^2$

$s = \frac{30^2 - 10^2 }{2 * 9.8 }$

$s = 40.8 \ m$

Now we are told that was through horizontally with a speed of

$v_x =10 m/s$

Which implies that this would be its velocity horizontally through out the motion

Now it final velocity vertically can be mathematically evaluated as

$v_y = \sqrt{2as}$

Substituting values

$v_y = \sqrt{(2 * 9.8 * 40.8)}$

$v_y = 28.3 \ m/s$

The resultant final velocity is mathematically evaluated as

$v_f = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

Substituting values

$v_f = \sqrt{10^2 + 28.3^2}$

$v_f = 30 m/s$

A football player runs from his own goal line to the opposing team's goal line, returning to his forty-yard line, all in 22.4 s.

Bumek [7]

I assume L=120 yards as the length of the football field.

1) The average speed is given by the total distance covered by the player divided by the time taken.
The total distance covered to go from one goal line to the other and then back to the 40-yards line is
$S=120y+(120-40)y=120y+80y=200 y$
And the time taken is t=22.4 s, so the average speed of the player is
$v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{200 y}{22.4 s}=8.93 y/s$

2) The find the average velocity, we should also consider the direction (and the sign) of the velocity.
In the the first part of the motion, the player goes from one goal line to the other one, so he covers 120 y. However, in the second part of the motion he goes back by 80 y. Therefore, the net displacement of the player is
$S=120 y-80 y=40 y$
and so, the average velocity is
$v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{40 y}{22.4 s}= 1.79 y/s$

In the United States, where can volcanoes be found?

Sedbober [7]

<span>The volcanoes of USA are located along the west coast, at the subduction of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates. During the 20th century there were only two eruptions in continental USA; Lassen in 1915, and Mt St Helens in 1980. Alaska and Hawaii contain currently active volcanoes. hope this helps:)</span>

Sally travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 26.0 min at 83.0 km/h, 52.0 min at 41.0 km/h, and 45.0 min at 60.0

Anna007 [38]

The average speed is determined by the following formula:

average speed = [sum of (speed * time for which that speed was traveled)] / total time

average speed = [(83 * 26 + 41 * 52 + 60 * 45 + 0 * 15) / 60] / [(26 + 52 + 45 + 15) / 60]
*note: The division by 60 is to convert minutes to hours. We see that the 60 cancels from the top and bottom of the division

average speed = 50.65 km/hr

The total distance traveled is equivalent to the numerator of the fraction we used in the first part. This is:
Distance = (83 * 26 + 41 * 52 + 60 * 45 + 0 * 15) / 60

Distance = 116.5 kilometers
