While filming an intense action sequence for the next James Bond movie, a controlled explosion detonates 1.3 km away from the ac

tors. If the speed of sound through solid rock is 3000 m/s on average, the actors will feel the explosion before they hear it. How much time will pass between when they feel the explosion and when they hear it?

To solve this problem we must basically resort to the kinematic equations of movement. For which speed is defined as the distance traveled in a given time. Mathematically this can be expressed as

v = \frac{d}{t}

Where

d = Distance

t = time

For which clearing the time we will have the expression

t = \frac{d}{v}

Since we have two 'fluids' in which the sound travels at different speeds we will have that for the rock the time elapsed to feel the explosion will be:

t = \frac{1300m}{3000m/s}

t = 0.433s

In the case of the atmosphere -composite of air- the average speed of sound is 343m / s, therefore it will take

t = \frac{1300m}{343m/s}

t = 3.79s

The total difference between the two times would be

\Delta t = 3.79s-0.433s

\Delta t = 3.357s

Therefore 3.357s will pass between when they feel the explosion and when they hear it

7. A car moving at 10m/s (about 22.4 mph) crashes into a barrier and stops in 0.25 m.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a) 0.05s

b) 4000N

Explanation:

a)When car is stopped its final velocity become zero

U- 10 m/s

V- 0 m/s

S - 0.25 m

t -?

S = (v+u)*t/2

0.25 =(10+0)*t/2

t = 0.05s

b) If we happened to calculate the avarage force we have to consider about acceleration

V= 0

U = 10

t = 0.05 s

a =?

V = U + at

0 = 10 -a * 0.05

a = 200 m/s2

F = m *a

= 20 * 200

= 4000N

What type of energy does a pv cell create ?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:  Solar Photovoltaic (PV) cells generate electricity by absorbing sunlight and using that light energy to create an electrical current. There are many PV cells within a single solar panel, and the current created by all of the cells together adds up to enough electricity to help power your school, home and businesses.

What form of matter is vapor?
katrin [286]
The form of matter that is vapor is a gas made of a substance that is usually liquid. 
Vapor is created when water, or some other liquid evaporates - meaning that it becomes so hot in a room, or wherever, that the liquid starts becoming gas.

2. A 1750 kg car accelerates at a rate of 4.0 m/s2. How much force is the cars engine producing?
8090 [49]

Answer:

<h2>7000 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 1750 × 4

We have the final answer as

<h3>7000 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

Tubby and his twin brother Libby have a combined mass of 200 kg and are zooming along in a 100 kg amusement park bumper car at 1
harkovskaia [24]

Answer: 14.1 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this with the Conservation of Linear Momentum principle, which states the initial momentum p_{i} (before the elastic collision) must be equal to the final momentum p_{f} (after the elastic collision):

p_{i}=p_{f} (1)

Being:

p_{i}=m_{1}V_{i} + m_{2}U_{i}

p_{f}=m_{1}V_{f} + m_{2}U_{f}

Where:

m_{1}=200 kg +100 kg=300 kg is the combined mass of Tubby and Libby with the car

V_{i}=10 m/s is the velocity of Tubby and Libby with the car before the collision

m_{2}=25 kg + 100 kg=125 kg is the combined mass of Flubby with its car

U_{i}=0 m/s is the velocity of Flubby with the car before the collision

V_{f}=4.12 m/s is the velocity of Tubby and Libby with the car after the collision

U_{f} is the velocity of Flubby with the car after the collision

So, we have the following:

m_{1}V_{i} + m_{2}U_{i}=m_{1}V_{f} + m_{2}U_{f} (2)

Finding U_{f}:

U_{f}=\frac{m_{1}(V_{i}-V_{f})}{m_{2}} (3)

U_{f}=\frac{300 kg(10 m/s-4.12 m/s)}{125 kg} (4)

Finally:

U_{f}=14.1 m/s
