Answer:

Speed of sound is 30.91m/s

Explanation:

Speed is given by:

Speed = distance travelled / time taken

Given:

Distance travelled = 1020m

Time taken = 33seconds

Speed = 1020m/33s

Speed = 30.91m/s

Answer:

v = 30.91 m/s  

Explanation:

The speed of the sound can be found using the following equation:

v = \frac{d}{t}

<u>Where:</u>

v: is the speed

d: is the distance = 1020 m

t: is the time = 33 s

v = \frac{1020 m}{33 s} = 30.91 m/s  

Therefore, the speed of the sound is 30.91 m/s.

I hope it helps you!

1. A wheel has a radius of 4.1 m. How far (path length) does a point on the wheel travel if the wheel is rotated through angles
Olin [163]

Answer:

<em>a) 2.15 m</em>

<em>b) 123 m</em>

<em>c) 772.8 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Circular Motion</u>

One point located at a distance r from the center of rotation travels a distance L given by the arc length :

L= \theta r

Where \theta is the angle formed during the rotation.

The wheel described in the question has a radius r=4.1 m and a point on the wheel rotates some angles given in each part:

a) \theta=30^o=30\cdot \pi / 180=\pi/6 \ rad

Calculating L

L= \pi/6 \cdot 4.1=2.15 \ m

b) \theta=30\ rad

L= 30 \cdot 4.1=123 \ m

c) \theta = 30\ revolutions = 30\cdot 2\pi\ rad=60\pi \ rad

L= 60\pi \cdot 4.1=772.8 \ m

Define a variable. How does a variable relate to a constant?
Anettt [7]
By definition, Variable is "(of a quantity) able to assume different numerical values." By this, an example is 4x, as x is an unknown number, but has a value. 
Constants are one constant value, unlike Variables.

Answer:

a) Team A will win.

b) The losing team will accelerate towards the middle line with 0.01 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Given that Team-A pulls with a force , F_{1} = 50N

and Team-B pulls with a force , F_{1} = 45N

∵ F_{1} > F_{2}

The rope will move in the direction of force F_{1}.

∴ Team-A will win.

b) Considering both the teams as one system of total mass , m = 246+253 = 499 kg

Net force on the system , F = F_{1} - F_{2} = 50-45 = 5N

Applying Newtons first law to the system ,

F = ma , where 'a' is the acceleration of the system.

Since , both the teams are connected by the same rope , their acceleration would be the same.

∴ 5 = 499×a

∴ a = 0.01 m/s^{2}

You are standing in a moving bus, facing forward, and you suddenly fall forward as the bus comes to an immediate stop. The force
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Static friction is a force that keeps an object at rest. It must be overcome to start moving the object. Once an object is in motion, it experiences kinetic friction.
