ryzh [129]3 years ago

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

Bess [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

Basically, Kinetic Molecular Theory says that gas particles are in constant motion and that they show perfectly elastic collisions.

An elastic collision is a collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision.

So the kinetic molecular theory says that gas particles stay moving constantly and don't lose energy when they run into each other.

Hope this helps!

torisob [31]

Answer:

Mass number of carbon is 12.

Explanation:

Carbon atom is defined as 6 atoms in a nucleus, and the mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.  

Before any neutrons are added to the carbon atom, its mass number is 6;<em> after 6 neutrons are added, the total number of protons and neutrons is now 12—the mass number becomes 12.</em>

A light source shines light consisting of two wavelengths, λ1 = 540 nm (green) and λ2 = 450 nm (blue), on two slits separated by
densk [106]

Answer:

The maximun distance is  z_1 = z_2 = 0.0138m

Explanation:

    From the question we are told that

       The wavelength are  \lambda _ 1 = 540nm  (green) = 540 *10^{-9}m

                                           \lambda_2 = 450nm(blue) = 450 *10^{-9}m

        The distance of seperation of the two slit is d = 0.180mm = 0.180 *10^{-3}m

        The distance from the screen is D = 1.53m

Generally the distance of the bright fringe to the center of the screen is mathematically represented as

           z = \frac{m \lambda D}{d}

   Where m is  the order of the fringe

For the first wavelength  we have

        z_1 = \frac{m_1 (549 *10^{-9} * (1.53))}{0.180*10^{-3}}

             z_1=0.00459m_1 m

                 z_1= 4.6*10^{-3}m_1 m ----(1)

For the second  wavelength  we have              

        z_2 = m_2 \frac{450*10^{-9} * 1.53 }{0.180*10^{-3}}

        z_2 = 0.003825m_2

        z_2 = 3.825 *10^{-3} m_2 m  ----(2)

From the question we are told that the two sides coincides with one another so

            zy_1 =z_2

         4.6*10^{-3}m_1 m = 3.825 *10^{-3} m_2 m

          \frac{m_1}{m_2}  = \frac{3.825 *10^{-3}}{4.6*10^{-3}}

Hence for this equation to be solved

       m_1 = 3

and  m_2 = 4

Substituting this into the  equation

                      z_1 = z_2 = 3 * 4.6*10^{-3} = 4* 3.825*10^{-3}

      Hence z_1 = z_2 = 0.0138m

Question 1
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Hypothesis:

The amount of limestone that dissolves in the acid is directly proportional to the concentration of acid used.

Explanation:

Acids dissolve limestone according to the following general equation;

2HX(aq) + CaCO3(s) -------> CaX2(aq) + H2O (l) + CO2(g). Where HX represents any acid at all.

This dissolution process is a chemical reaction. It was experimentally observed that the amount of limestone that dissolved in acid depends on the concentration of acid. Various concentrations of acid were then prepared and a particular mass of limestone was dissolved in each concentration of acid. The amount of limestone dissolved in each case was carefully noted.

It was observed that as the concentration of acid increased, the amount of limestone dissolved increased also and vice versa, hence the hypothesis proposed above.
