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 body travels 10 meters during the first 5 seconds of its travel, and it travels a total of 30 meters over the first 10 seconds
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

A body travels 10 meters during the first 5 seconds of its travel,and a total of 30 meters over the first 10 seconds of its travel

20miles / 5sec = 4miles /sec would be the average speed for the last 20 m

Explanation:

The answer is 4 m/s.

In the first 5 seconds, a body travelled 10 meters. In the first 10 seconds of the travel, the body travelled a total of 30 meters, which means that in the last 5 seconds, it travelled 20 meters (30m + 10m).

The relation of speed (v), distance (d), and time (t) can be expressed as:

v = d/t

We need to calculate the speed of the second 5 seconds of the travel:

d = 20 m (total 30 meters - first 10 meters)

t = 5 s (time from t = 5 seconds to t = 10 seconds)

Thus:

v = 20m / 5s = 4 m/s

La tensión en newtons necesaria para que una onda transversal cuya longitud de onda es 3.33 cm vibre a razón de 625 ciclos por s
NemiM [27]

Answer:

9.34 N

Explanation:

First of all, we can calculate the speed of the wave in the string. This is given by the wave equation:

v=f \lambda

where

f is the frequency of the wave

\lambda is the wavelength

For the waves in this string we have:

f=625 Hz, since it completes 625 cycles per second

\lambda=3.33 cm = 0.033 m is the wavelength

So the speed of the wave is

v=(625)(0.0333)=20.6 m/s

The speed of the waves in a string is related to the tension in the string by

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} (1)

where

T is the tension in the string

\mu=\frac{m}{L} is the linear density

In this problem:

m=16.5 g = 16.5\cdot 10^{-3} kg is the mass of the string

L = 0.75 m is the its length

Solving the equation (1) for T, we find the tension:

T=\mu v^2 = \frac{m}{L} v^2 = \frac{16.5\cdot 10^{-3}}{0.75}(20.6)^2=9.34 N
