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

Answer:

Ferromagnetism, physical phenomenon in which certain electrically uncharged materials strongly attract others. Two materials found in nature, lodestone (or magnetite, an oxide of iron, Fe3O4) and iron, have the ability to acquire such attractive powers, and they are often called natural ferromagnets.

Hope this help :)

Av Speed = total distance / time time = 32+ 46 / 2.7 = 28 m/sec
Av velocity = total displacement / time total = S / t
S = sqrt( 32^2 +46^2) = 56 m
Av Velocity = 56/ 2,7 = 20.75 m/sec
