A person shooting at a target from a distance of 450 metres finds that the sound of the bullet hitting the target comes 1 / 2 se

conds after he fired. A person equidistant from the target and shooting point hears the bullet hit 3 seconds after he heard the gun. The speed of sound is ___.

Answer:

1350 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of bullet

Distance traveled by the bullet = 450 m

Distance traveled by sound = 450 m

Using S= V × t

==> t= S/V

So, time for bullet t1=450/vb

time for sound t2=450/vs

Because it takes 1/2 sec from firing to hearing of sound by the shooter

==>  t1+t2= 1/2 sec

==> 450/vb+450/vs=0.5sec  ---- (1)

Now a person at distance 'x' each from gun and target takes 3 sec to hear sound from firing to hitting the target.

Fire sound duration

Distance =x m

Speed of sound = V

time =T1

==> T1 = x/vs

Bullet hitting + target sound  duration

During this duration bullet travels a distance of 450 m and sound of hitting travels a distance 'x'

time taken by sound = 450/vb

time taken by sound to travel distance 'x'= x/vs

so let T2= 450/vb + x/vs

But all this happens in 3 sec i-e T = 3 sec

and because firing occurs before hitting the target so he hears strike sound in time T = T2-T1= 450/vb + x/vs -x/vs

But T= 3sec

==> 3= 450/vb

==> vb= 1350 m/s

From eq 1 and 2

again using same relation as above, i-e within 3 seconds he watches bullet traveling a distance of 450 m and hearing sound

A car accelerates from zero to a speed of 110
Verizon [17]

The car's rate of  acceleration : a = 2.04 m/s²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

speed = 110 km/hr

time = 15 s

Required

The acceleration

Solution

110 km/hr⇒30.56 m/s

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time

a = Δv : Δt

Input the value :

a = 30.56 m/s : 15 s

a = 2.04 m/s²

The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3 00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm
Nesterboy [21]

Q: The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3.00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm2. What downward force of magnitude must be applied to the small piston for the lift to raise a load whose weight is Fg = 15.0 kN?

Answer:

225 N

Explanation:

From Pascal's principle,

F/A = f/a ...................... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted on the larger piston, f = force applied to the smaller piston, A = cross sectional area of the larger piston, a = cross sectional area of the smaller piston.

Making f the subject of the equation,

f = F(a)/A ..................... Equation 2

Given: F = 15.0 kN = 15000 N, A = 200 cm², a = 3.00 cm².

Substituting into equation 2

f = 15000(3/200)

f = 225 N.

Hence the downward force that must be applied to small piston = 225 N
