Answer:

We know that the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air

we are also given the distance of the boat from the shore

From the provided data, we can easily find the time taken by the sound to reach the shore using the second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at²

since the acceleration of sound is 0:

s = ut + 1/2 (0)t²

s = ut    <em>(here, u is the speed of sound , s is the distance travelled and t is the time taken)</em>

Replacing the variables in the equation with the values we know

1200 = 343 * t

t = 1200 / 343

t = 3.5 seconds (approx)

Therefore, the sound of the gun will be heard at the shore, 3.5 seconds after being fired

A projectile is shot on level ground with a
erastova [34]

Answer:

time rising = 34 / 9.8 = 3.47 sec

total time in air = 2 * 3.47 sec = 6.94 sec

(time rising must equal time falling)

R = 17 m/s * 6.94 s = 118 m

Can also use range formula

R = v^2 sin (2 theta) / g

tan theta = 34 / 17 = 2

theta = 63.4 deg

2 theta = 126.9 deg

sin 126.9 = .8

v^2 = 17^2 + 34^2 = 1445 m^2/s^2

R = 1445 * .8 / 9.8 = 118 m    agreeing with answer found above

What is the acceleration of a race car if it has a mass of 1200kg and is moving with an engine force of 400N
meriva

Answer:

0.34 m/s^2

Explanation:

force=mass × acceleration

400 =1200 × acceleration

acceleration=400/1200

=0.34 m/s^2
