The initial speed of the automobile is 49.84km/hr

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Acceleration, a = 1.77 m/s²

Time, t = 6s

Final speed, v = 88 km/h

v = 88 X 0.278 m/s

v = 24.464 m/s

Initial speed, u = ?

We know,

v = u + at

On substituting the value in the formula we get:

24.464 = u + (1.77 X 6)

24.464 = u + 10.62

u = 24.464 - 10.62 m/s

u = 13.844 m/s

Converting u = 13.844 m/s to km/hr

1 m/s = 3.6 km/hr

13.844 m/s = 13.844 X 3.6 km/hr

u = 49.84 km/hr

Therefore, the initial speed of the automobile is 49.84km/hr

IN WHAT CONDITION DO SOUND ECHO

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The conditions necessary for hearing the echo. The distance between the sound source and the reflecting surface must not be less than 17 metres where the time period between hearing the original sound and its echo should not be less than 0.1 of a second.

Sound waves produced by a source pass a point five times every second. Which of the following choices correctly describes the pe

Ugo [173]

The period is 1/5 second, and the frequency is 5 Hz.

Explanation:

Let's start by reviewing some definitions about waves:

- The period of a wave is the time taken for the wave to make one complete cycle. It is indicated with T and it is measured in seconds (s)

- The frequency of a wave is the number of complete cycles made by the wave in one second. It is indicated with f and it is measured in Hertz (Hz). It is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

$f=\frac{1}{T}$

where f is the frequency and T is the period.

In this problem, we have a wave that passes a given point five time per second. This means that the number of oscillations per second is five, and so its frequency is:

$f=\frac{5 cycles}{1 sec}=5 Hz$
