a hunter 412.5m from a cliff moves a distance x towards the cliff and fires a gun. he hears the echo from the cliff after 2.2sec

calculate the value of x (sound in air 330ms-1)​
Physics

Inessa [10]3 years ago

Answer: 49.5 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound s is given by a relation between the distance d and the time t:

s=\frac{d}{t} (1)

Where:

s=330 m/s is the speed of sound in air (taking into account this value may vary according to the medium the sound wave travels)

d=412.5 m-x since we are told th hunter was initially 412.5 meters from the cliff and then moves a distance x towards the cliff

t=\frac{2.2 s}{2}=1.1 s Since the time given as data (2.2 s) is the time it takes to the sound wave to travel from the hunter's gun and then go back to the position where the hunter is after being reflected by the cliff

Having this information clarified, let's isolate d and then find x:

d=st (2)

412.5 m-x=(330 m/s)(1.1 s) (3)

Finding x:

x=49.5 m This is the distance at which the hunter is from the cliff.

Bacteria vary somewhat in size, but a diameter of 2.9 μm is not unusual.
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

a) 6.4 x 10^-12 cm^3

= 6.3715 μm^3

1 μm^3 = 10^-12 cm^3

6.3715 μm^3 = 6.3715 x 10^-12 cm^3

==> 6.4 x 10^-12 cm^3

Explain why in the construction of a lightning conductor one end is made into a sharp point​
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

A lightning conductor is made up of a sharp pointed metal (usually copper metal, as it is a very good conductor) connected directly to the ground. ... The lightning conductor is placed higher than the roof so that if lightning strikes, it strikes the conductor before it can reach the house.

Traveler A starts from rest at a constant acceleration of 6 m/s^2. Two seconds later, traveler B starts with an initial velocity
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

3. 3.5 s

Explanation:

The position of traveller A is given by the equation:

x_A(t) = \frac{1}{2}a t^2

where

a = 6 m/s^2 is the acceleration of A

t is the time measured from when A started the motion

The position of traveller B instead is given by

x_B(t) = u_B (t-2) + \frac{1}{2}a(t-2)^2

where a (acceleration) is the same as traveller A, and

u_B = 20 m/s

is B's initial velocity. We can verify that the formula is correct by substituting t=2, and we get x_B=0, which means that B starts its motion 2 seconds later.

Traveller B overtakes traveller A when the two positions are the same, so:

x_A = x_B\\\frac{1}{2}at^2 = u_B (t-2) + \frac{1}{2}a(t-2)^2\\\frac{1}{2}at^2 = u_B t - 2u_B +\frac{1}{2}at^2 +2a-2at\\u_Bt-2at = 2u_B-2a\\t=\frac{2u_B-2a}{u_B-2a}=\frac{2(20)-2(6)}{20-2(6)}=3.5 s

Using the
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The principle of momentum conservation states that if there no external force the total momentum of the system before and after the collision is conserved.

Since momentum is a vector, we should investigate the directions and magnitudes of initial and final momentum.

\vec{P}_{initial} = \vec{P}_{final}\\\vec{P}_{initial} = m_1\vec{v}_1 + 0\\\vec{P}_{final} = m_1\vec{v}_1' + m_2 \vec{v}_2'

If the first ball hits the second ball with an angle, we should separate the x- and y-components of the momentum (or velocity), and apply conservation of momentum separately on x- and y-directions.

After striking both mirrors, at what angle relative to the incoming ray does the outgoing ray emerge?
PIT_PIT [208]
The appropriate response is Zero degrees. The beam will leave the two mirrors along a way parallel to the one it came in on. This is the guideline of the corner reflector, which is frequently utilized as a radar target. Take note of that the corner reflector utilizes three reflecting surfaces (that are set up at 90o from each other) rather than the two like are being utilized here. Wikipedia has a truly awesome drawing that shows this two-dimentional issue pleasantly. A moment connection is given to the article on the corner reflector and the 3-D angles.
