Answer:

Ali hear the sound in 0.046 seconds.

Explanation:

Given:

Distance between Ali and Abdi =  300m

Speed of sound in steel = 6500m/s

To Find :

How much sooner does Ali hear the sound = ?

Solution:

We can find the time in which the sound made by Abdi with a stone on the rail by using the speed formula

We know that

Speed = \frac{Distance}{time}\\

On substituting the given values,

6500 = \frac{300}{time}\\

time = \frac{300}{6500}\\

time = \frac{300}{6500}\\

Time  = 0.046 seconds

When analyzing a position time graph the direction of the slope positive or negative tells us:
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

Positive values for position indicate that the object is in front of the starting point and negative values tell us that the object is behind the starting point. (time = 9.5, position = 0) the object is at the starting point.

The first law of thermodynamics can be given as ________.
MrRa [10]
The first law of thermodynamics can be written as
\Delta U = Q-W
where
\Delta U is the variation of internal energy of the system
Q is the amount of heat absorbed by the system
W is the work done by the system on the surrounding.

Using this form, the sign convention for Q and W becomes:
Q > 0 --> heat absorbed by the system (because it increases the internal energy)
Q < 0 --> heat released by the system (because it decreases the internal energy)
W > 0 --> work done by the system (for instance, an expansion: when the system expands, it does work on the surrounding, and so the internal energy decreases, this is why there is a negative sign in the formula Q-W)
W < 0 --> work done by the surrounding on the system (for instance, a compression: when the system is compressed, the surrounding is doing work on the system, and so the internal energy of the system increases)

3. A football is kicked with a speed of 35 m/s at an angle of 40°.
jarptica [38.1K]

a) 22.5 m/s

The initial vertical velocity is given by:

u_y = u sin \theta

where

u = 35 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=40^{\circ} is the angle of projection of the ball

Substituting into the equation, we find

u_y = (35)(sin 40)=22.5 m/s

b) 26.8 m/s

The initial horizontal velocity is given by:

u_x = u cos \theta

where

u = 35 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=40^{\circ} is the angle of projection of the ball

Substituting into the equation, we find

u_x = (35)(cos 40)=26.8 m/s

c) 2.30 s

The time it takes for the ball to reach the maximum heigth can be found by considering the vertical motion only. This is a uniformly accelerated motion (free-fall), so we can use the suvat equation

v_y = u_y + at

where

v_y is the vertical velocity at time t

u_y = 22.5 m/s

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (negative because it is downward)

At the maximum height, the vertical velocity becomes zero, v_y =0; substituting, we find the time t at which this happens:

0=u_y + gt\\t=-\frac{u_y}{g}=-\frac{22.5}{-9.8}=2.30 s

d) 25.8 m

The maximum height can also be found by considering the vertical motion only. We can use the following suvat equation:

s=u_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

s is the vertical displacement at time t

u_y = 22.5 m/s

g=-9.8 m/s^2

Substituting t = 2.30 s, we find the displacement at maximum height, so the maximum height:

s=(22.5)(2.30)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(2.30)^2=25.8 m

e) 123.3 m

In order to find how far does the ball lands, we have to consider the horizontal motion.

First of all, the time it takes for the ball to go back to the ground is twice the time needed for reaching the maximum height:

t=2(2.30 s)=4.60 s

Then, we consider the horizontal motion. There is no acceleration along this direction, so the horizontal velocity is constant:

v_x = 26.8 m/s

Therefore, the horizontal distance travelled during the whole motion is

d=v_x t = (26.8)(4.60)=123.3 m

So, the ball lands 123.3 m far from the initial point.
