Answer:

47.17 m

Explanation:

From the diagram of the question attached, The length of the legs are 25 m and 40 m . This legs form a right angle triangle with the length of the swimming course (L).

Pythagoras theorem states that for a right angle triangle with hypotenuse a and legs b and c, then:

a² = b² + c²

In the triangle, the length of the swimming course (L) is the hypotenuse and the two legs are 25 m and 40 m. Using Pythagoras:

L² = 25² + 40²

L² = 625 + 1600

L² = 2225

L = √2225

L = 47.17 m

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

i) 0.7

ii) 1.39

iii) 0.6

Next time, when compiling a Physics question, ensure you put the unit of each measurement.

Explanation:

i) T = time of flight =   \frac{2uSin(A)}{g}

where u = speed = 4, A = 60 and  g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 (It is a constant);

Subsituting the values, we have: T = \frac{2(4)Sin(60)}{10} = 0.7

ii) distance travel = Range =  R = \frac{u^{2}Sin(2A) }{g}

where u = speed = 4, A = 60 and  g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 (It is a constant);

Subsituting values, we have: R = \frac{4^{2}Sin(2*60) }{10} = 1.39

iii) Maximum Height = H = \frac{u^{2}(Sin(A))^{2}  }{2g}

where u = speed = 4, A = 60 and  g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 (It is a constant);

Subsituting values, we have: \frac{4^{2}(Sin60)^{2}  }{2*10} = 0.6

Sound exits a diffraction horn loudspeaker through a rectangular opening like a small doorway. Such a loudspeaker is mounted out
blondinia [14]

Answer:

\theta = 20.98 degree

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the sound is given as

v = 332 + 0.6 t

now at t = 273 k = 0 degree

v = 332 m/s

so we have

a sin\theta = N\lambda

a sin\theta = N(\frac{v_1}{f})

now when temperature is changed to 313 K we have

t = 313 - 273 = 40 degree

now we have

v = 332 + (0.6)(40)

v_2 = 356 m/s

a sin\theta' = N(\frac{v_2}{f})

now from two equations we have

\frac{sin19.5}{sin\theta} = \frac{332}{356}

so we have

sin\theta = 0.358

\theta = 20.98 degree
