A ship 1200m off shore fires a gun. how long after the gun is fired will it be heard on the shore?​

Physics

ryzh [129]2 years ago
6 0

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

How can i tell the difference between a one element and another?
dybincka [34]


Normally, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons, which makes atoms electrically neutral. The number of protons in an atom is the defining feature of an atom. It's what makes one element different from another

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

Describe how sound waves are produced
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Sound waves are produced when something vibrates.  

Explanation:

The vibrating body causes the medium (water, air, etc.)  Vibrations in air are called traveling longitudinal waves, which we can hear. Sound waves consist of areas of high and low pressure called compressions and rarefactions, respectively.

A football is thrown horizontally with an initial velocity of(16.6 {\rm m/s} ){\hat x}. Ignoring air resistance, the average acc
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

A) 16.6 m/s i -17.2 m/s j B) 23.9 m/s  c) 46º below horizontal.

Explanation:

A) Once released, the football is not under the influence of any external force in the horizontal direction, so it  continues moving at a constant speed equal to the initial velocity, i.e., 16.6 m/s.

If we choose the horizontal direction to be coincident with the x-axis, and make positive the direction towards the right (assuming that  this was the direction along which the football was thrown), we can write the horizontal component of the veelocity vector, as follows:

vₓ = 16.6 m/s i

In the vertical direction, the football, once released, is in free fall, starting from rest.

So, we can find the vertical component of the velocity vector, at a given point in time, applying the definition of acceleration, as follows:

vy = a*t = -g*t = -9.81 m/s²*1.75 s = -17.2 m/s

Assuming that the upward direction is the positive  for the y-axis (perpendicular to the chosen  x-axis), we can write the vertical component of  the velocity vector, at t=1.75 s, as follows:

vy = -17.2 m/s j

So, the velocity vector, in terms of the unit vectors i and j, can be written in this way:

v = 16.6 m/s i -17.2 m/s j

b) The magnitude of this vector can be found applying trigonometry, as the magnitude is the hypotenuse of a triangle with sides equal to vx and vy, as follows:

v =\sqrt{(16.6m/s)^{2}+ (-17.2m/s)^{2}} = 23.9 m/s

v = 23.9 m/s

c) The direction of the vector (below the horizontal) can be found as the angle which tangent is given by the quotient between vy and vx, as follows:

tg θ =\frac{-17.2}{16.6} =-1.036

⇒ θ = tg⁻¹ (-1.036) = 46º below horizontal.

Shaping will happen if _____.
Pavlova-9 [17]
What is being done in shaping is that it directs and guides the change in one's behavior. Therefore, what will happen when one undergoes shaping is that you encourage a lot of minor behaviors which would add up to one large action. The answer to this would be the first option.
