A hunter is standing on flat ground between two vertical cliffs that are directly opposite one another. He is closer to one clif

f than the other. He fires a gun and, after a while, hears three echoes. The second echo arrives 1.05 s after the first, and the third echo arrives 0.827 s after the second. Assuming that the speed of sound is 343 m/s and that there are no reflections of sound from the ground, find the distance (in m) between the cliffs.

Answer : distance, d = 463.7 m

Explanation :  

According to the given condition it can be assumed that the first echo would be heard from closest cliff. The second echo is from farther cliff and the third echo is from the reflection between the two cliffs.

Let the distance between the first cliff and the point of firing is x and y is the distance between the second cliff and the point of firing.

Then the first echo will travel 2x distance, second will travel 2y distance and third will travel 2x +2y.

So, using above data :

2y=v\times t_3

and

2x=v(t_2+t_3)

On solving :

y=\dfrac{343\times0.827}{2}

y=141.8\ m

x=\frac{343\times(1.05+0.827)}{2}

x=321.9\ m

x = 321.9 m and y = 141.8 m

Hence, total distance between two cliffs is d = 321.9 m + 141.8 m = 463.7 m

A runner runs 10 miles in 1 hour. how far could they run in 2 hours in m/s?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

4.47 m/s.

Explanation:

distance traveled, d = 10 miles

time, t = 1 hour

Speed of the runner, v = d / t

Speed of the runner = 10 miles / 1

Speed of the runner = 10 mph

1 mph ----------------------- 0.44704 m/s

10 mph -----------------------?

= 4.47 m/s

Thus, in 2 hours the distance traveled will change but the speed it still 10 mph or 4.47 m/s.

A 7-hp (shaft) pump is used to raise water to an elevation of 19 m. if the mechanical efficiency of the pump is 82 percent, dete
Hoochie [10]
Convert the units of power,W = 7 hp = 7 * 745.69 = 5219.83 WCalculate the power input to the pump using the efficiency of the pump equationn=Wpump/Wshaft
Substitute 0.82 for n and 5219.83 for Wshaft0.82=Wpump/5219.83   Wpump=0.82*5219.83=4280.26 WCalculate the mass flow ratein=Wpump/(gz_2 )Where g is the acceleration due to gravity, and z_2 is the elevation of water. Substitute 4280.26 for Wpump, 9.81 m/s^2 for g, and 19m for z_2in = 4280.26 / 9.81 * 19 = 22.9640 m^3/sCalculate the volume flow rate of waterV=m/ρWhere ρ is the density of water. Substitute 22.9640  m^3/s for in and 1000  m^3/kg for ρ, we get V = 22.9640 / 1000 = 0.0230 kg/sTherefore, the volume flow rate of water is 0.0230 kg/s

What are the names of the 2 charged particles in an atom and what are their charges
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Protons and electrons

Explanation:

  • The atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
  • The physical and chemical characteristics of an atom are determined by the number of these particle composition.
  • The protons present in the center of an atom called the nucleus is positively charged.
  • The neutrons are also located in the nucleus of an atom with no charge.
  • The electrons has a negative charge and it is placed around the nucleus having different shells and quantum state.
  • The charges of the protons and electrons are denoted by +q and -q. The quantization of these charges are +1, +2, ... and -1, -2, .... etc.
