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

What is the acceleration of a softball if it hits the ground with a force 0.50 kg and hits the catchers glove with a force of 25
Rom4ik [11]

Acceleration of the ball is 50 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of the ball can be found by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:

F=ma

where

F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

For the ball in this problem, we have

m = 0.50 kg (mass)

F = 25 N (force)

thereofre, the acceleration of the ball is

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{25}{0.50}=50 m/s^2

Neko [114]
The answer is letter C. <span>A train travels from the bottom of a hill to the top of a hill, its moves slower by the time it reaches the top is an example of negative acceleration.

In physics, acceleration can be described as an objects change of velocity. When an object gains velocity, it is positive acceleration, and negative acceleration for the opposite.

This is called the Phi Phenomenon.
This is an illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succession; when two adjacent stationary lights blink on and off in quick succession; we perceive a single light moving back and forth between them. It is an optical illusion of perceiving a series of still images, when viewed in rapid succession, as continuous motion.
