Ali and Abdi go for a walk along an abandoned railroad truck , Ali puts one ear next to a rail, while Abdi 300m away taps in the

rail with a stone . How much sooner does Ali hear the sound (speed of sound in steel is 6500m/s).

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

Why does the frequency of a siren get higher as an ambulance using that siren gets closer
Nadya [2.5K]
The frequency of a wave becomes higher due to the object moving at a fast pace coming towards you with shorter wavelengths  (depending on the speed) aka the Doppler Effect. 
Hope this helps

A car has a momentum of -456 kg*m/s. What direction is it moving?
Solnce55 [7]

backward movement

because momentum = mass × speed

And mass must be in positive value..

so negative value is speed

which moving backward..

A boat heads directly across a river. Its speed relative to the water is 3 m/s. It takes it 539 seconds to cross, but it ends up
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

3.24 m/s

Explanation:

Suppose that the boat sails with velocity (relative to water) direction being perpendicular to water stream. Had there been no water flow, it would have ended up 0m downstream

Therefore, the river speed is the one that push the boat 662 m downstream within 539 seconds. We can use this to calculate its magnitude

v_r = 662 / 539 = 1.23 m/s

So the boat velocity vector relative to the bank is the sum of of the boat velocity vector relative to the water and the water velocity vector relative to the bank. Since these 2 component vectors are perpendicular to each other, the magnitude of the total vector can be calculated using Pythagorean formula:

v = \sqrt{v_b^2 + v_r^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + 1.23^2} = \sqrt{9 + 1.5129} = \sqrt{10.5129} = 3.24 m/s
