The distance of the ship from the shore is 1020m

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Speed, s = 340 m/s

Time, t = 10s

Distance, x = ?

The sound is going to have to go to shore, then come back.

The total round-trip distance is

D = speed X time

D = (340 m/s) * (6.0 s)

D = 2,040 m

But as previously stated, the sound had to get there, then come back.  So the actual ship-to-shore distance is only half that.

x = D/2

x = \frac{2040}{2} \\\\x = 1020m

Therefore, the distance of the ship from the shore is 1020m

If you wanted to produce more power,what could you do to maximize power
PSYCHO15rus [73]

In physics, power is defined as energy per unit time.  You will also hear it described as work per unit time.  The standard unit of measure for power is the watt, where a watt is defined as joules (energy) per second (time).  This is expressed as a fraction as J/s.  If you wanted to increase the power in any operation, you can either increase the energy (more joules) or reduce the time (fewer seconds).
