Two fans are watching a baseball game from different positions. One fan is located directly behind home plate, 18.3 m from the b

atter. The other fan is located in the centerfield bleachers, 127 m from the batter. Both fans observe the batter strike the ball at the same time (because the speed of light is about a million times faster than that of sound), but the fan behind home plate hears the sound first. What is the time difference between hearing the sound at the two locations?

Answer:

  • 0.317 s

Explanation:

distance of fan A = 18.3 m

distance of fan B = 127 m

speed of sound (s) = 343 m/s

What is the time difference between hearing the sound at the two locations?

time (T) = distance / speed

  • time for sound to reach fan A = 18.3 / 343 = 0.053 s
  • time it takes for sound to reach fan B = 127 / 343 = 0.370 s
  • time difference = 0.370 - 0.053 = 0.317 s

A filled water tower sits on the top of the highest hill near a city. The cylindrical tower has a height of 55.0 m
Reika [66]

Answer:

539 kPa

Explanation:

Pressure equals density times acceleration of gravity times depth.

P = ρgh

Water has a density of 1000 kg/m³, and acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (55.0 m)

P = 539,000 Pa

P = 539 kPa

A ball is dropped from rest from a height h above the ground. another ball is thrown vertically upwards from the ground at the i
Darya [45]

The position of the first ball is

y_1=h-\dfrac g2t^2

while the position of the second ball, thrown with initial velocity v, is

y_2=vt-\dfrac g2t^2

The time it takes for the first ball to reach the halfway point satisfies

\dfrac h2=h-\dfrac g2t^2

\implies\dfrac h2=\dfrac g2t^2

\implies t=\sqrt{\dfrac hg}

We want the second ball to reach the same height at the same time, so that

\dfrac h2=v\sqrt{\dfrac hg}-\dfrac g2\left(\sqrt{\dfrac hg}\right)^2

\implies h=2v\sqrt{\dfrac hg}-g\left(\dfrac hg\right)

\implies h=v\sqrt{\dfrac hg}

\implies v=\sqrt{hg}
