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

Un camion de envios se encuentra detenido en una señal de pare, permitiendo que pase una ambulancia. Inicia su recorrido y al ca
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

0.741\ \text{m/s}^2

Explanation:

v = Velocidad final = 40\ \text{km/h}=\dfrac{40}{3.6}\ \text{m/s}

u = Velocidad inicial = 0

t = Tiempo empleado = 15 s

a = Aceleración

De las ecuaciones cinemáticas tenemos

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{\dfrac{40}{3.6}-0}{15}\\\Rightarrow a=0.741\ \text{m/s}^2

La aceleración del camión en el primer intervalo de tiempo es 0.741\ \text{m/s}^2.

How would the magnetic field lines appear for a bar magnet cut at the midpoint, with the two pieces placed end to end with a spa
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

cutting the magnet in two parts each part has a North and South pole,

Explanation:

In magnetism the magnetic mono-poles are not found, this means that we do not have magnetic charges alone, therefore when cutting the magnet in two parts each part has a North and South pole, the magnetic lines go from the North pole to the South pole, see attached.

The density of the lines is approximately the intensity of the magnetic field.
