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 (here, u is the speed of sound , s is the distance travelled and t is the time taken)

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

Mangrove forests play an important role in _______.

AysviL [449]

D. All of the above

At high tide fish will feed among the mangrove roots - rich fishing ground

The trees trap sediment and soil in the river that would flow out to sea which also helps stop erosion

Wildlife utilise almost every part of the tree, with insects and birds, monkeys and lizards in the branches, shrimps and fish in the roots, and snails and clams in the soil

A driver with a 0.80-s reaction time applies the brakes, causing the car to have acceleration opposite the direction of motion.

jeka94

Answer:

a) During the reaction time, the car travels 21 m

b) After applying the brake, the car travels 48 m before coming to stop

Explanation:

The equation for the position of a straight movement with variable speed is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 t + 1/2 a t²

where

x: position at time t

v0: initial speed

a: acceleration

t: time

When the speed is constant (as before applying the brake), the equation would be:

x = x0 + v t

a)Before applying the brake, the car travels at constant speed. In 0.80 s the car will travel:

x = 0m + 26 m/s * 0.80 s = 21 m

b) After applying the brake, the car has an acceleration of -7.0 m/s². Using the equation for velocity, we can calculate how much time it takes the car to stop (v = 0):

v = v0 + a* t

0 = 26 m/s + (-7.0 m/s²) * t

-26 m/s / - 7.0 m/s² = t

t = 3.7 s

With this time, we can calculate how far the car traveled during the deacceleration.

x = x0 +v0 t + 1/2 a t²

x = 0m + 26 m/s * 3.7 s - 1/2 * 7.0m/s² * (3.7 s)² = 48 m

What is the acceleration of the the object during the first 4 seconds?

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Velocity (m/s) over time (s) graph

We could write out our average acceleration as:

a = Δv/ Δta=Δv/Δta, equals, Δ, v, slash, Δ, t

a = (15 m/s - 0 m/s) / 0.2 seconds

a = 15 m/s / 0.2 seconds

a = 75 m/s / second

Explanation:

What this formula is telling us is that if we know the acceleration of an object, and the ... we can plug in our acceleration of 12.5 m/s2 for a, and 4 seconds for t.

Velocity (m/s) over time (s) graph

We could write out our average acceleration as:

a = Δv/ Δta=Δv/Δta, equals, Δ, v, slash, Δ, t

a = (15 m/s - 0 m/s) / 0.2 seconds

a = 15 m/s / 0.2 seconds

a = 75 m/s / second

Which factors affect heat transfer between a warm and a cool substance?

andrey2020 [161]

Answer: B

Explanation:

It's not the time it took to heat the substance, so that rules out A and C.

This means that we only have to choose between

B. the area of contact

D. the area of the substances

(since everything else in each of those answers are the same)

Area of contact matters more (e.g. an object with greater surface area is exposed to the air more, will lose/gain heat quicker than an object with less surface area).
