marishachu [46]

Answer:

The impact occured at a distance of 2478.585 meters from the person.

Explanation:

(After some research on web, we conclude that problem is not incomplete) The element "Part A" may lead to the false idea that question is incomplete. Correct form is presented below:

<em>A person, with his ear to the ground, sees a huge stone strike the concrete pavement. A moment later two sounds are heard from the impact: one travels in the air and the other in the concrete, and they are 6.4 seconds apart. How far away did the impact occur? (Sound speed in the air: 343 meters per second, sound speed in concrete: 3000 meters per second)</em>

Sound is a manifestation of mechanical waves, which needs a medium to propagate themselves. Depending on the material, sound will take more or less time to travel a given distance. From statement, we know this time difference between air and concrete (\Delta t), in seconds:

\Delta t = t_{A}-t_{C} (1)

Where:

t_{C} - Time spent by the sound in concrete, in seconds.

t_{A} - Time spent by the sound in the air, in seconds.

By suposing that sound travels the same distance and at constant speed in both materials, we have the following expression:

\Delta t = \frac{x}{v_{A}}-\frac{x}{v_{C}}

\Delta t = x\cdot \left(\frac{1}{v_{A}}-\frac{1}{v_{C}}  \right)

x = \frac{\Delta t}{\frac{1}{v_{A}}-\frac{1}{v_{C}}  } (2)

Where:

v_{C} - Speed of the sound in concrete, in meters per second.

v_{A} - Speed of the sound in the air, in meters per second.

x - Distance traveled by the sound, in meters.

If we know that \Delta t = 6.4\,s, v_{C} = 3000\,\frac{m}{s} and v_{A} = 343\,\frac{m}{s}, then the distance travelled by the sound is:

x = \frac{\Delta t}{\frac{1}{v_{A}}-\frac{1}{v_{C}}  }

x = 2478.585\,m

The impact occured at a distance of 2478.585 meters from the person.

Write a rule for the sequence. 3, -3, -9, -15. A. Start with 3 and add -6 repeatedly B. Start with -6 and add 3 repeatedly C. St
faust18 [17]

Substract two consecutive terms of the sequence to see if there is a common difference:

\begin{gathered} (-3)-(3)=-3-3=-6 \\ (-9)-(-3)=-9+3=-6 \\ (-15)-(-9)=-15+9=-6 \end{gathered}

As we can see, there is a common difference of -6.

Then, if a number of the sequence is given, the next one can be found by adding -6 (which is the same as subtracting 6).

Notice that the first term of the sequence is 3.

Then, the rule for the sequence is to start with 3 and add -6 repeatedly.

Therefore, the correct choice is option A) Start with 3 and add -6 repeatedly.

Why does a magnet attract a steel nail
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The nail will stick to the bar magnet because it will become magnetized, and it's metal. The presence of the nearby north pole rearranges the magnetic domains inside the steel so that their south poles all point toward the north pole of the permanent magnet. As a result, the other end of the nail becomes a north pole.Magnets attract iron due to the influence of their magnetic field upon the iron. ... When exposed to the magnetic field, the atoms begin to align their electrons with the flow of the magnetic field, which makes the iron magnetized as well. This, in turn, creates an attraction between the two magnetized objects.
