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

Physics

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

It shows gas particles leaving the car exhaust what procees
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The gas particles leaving the car exhaust show the process of combustion.

<h3>What is the process of combustion?</h3>

Combustion refers to a chemical process in which a substance reacts with oxygen to give off heat. The original substance is known as the fuel, whereas the source of oxygen is known as the oxidizer. The fuel can be present in solid, liquid, or gas, but for an airplane, the fuel is usually a liquid form. Combustion also called burning that is the basic chemical process of releasing energy from a fuel and air mixture. In an internal combustion engine, the ignition and combustion of the fuel occurs within the engine. The engine converts the energy from the combustion process to work.

So we can conclude that the car releases gases due to the process of combustion.

An object is moving forward with a constant velocity. Which statement about this object MUST be true?
Greeley [361]

If the object's <em>velocity is constant</em> ... (it's speed isn't changing AND it's moving in a straight line) ... then the net force on the object is zero.<em> (D)</em>

Either there are no forces at all acting on the object, OR there are forces on it but they're 'balanced' ... when you add up all of their sizes and directions, they just exactly cancel each other out, and they have the SAME EFFECT on the object as if there were no forces at all.

A block of mass m sits at rest on a rough inclined ramp that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. What must be true about force
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

μ =tanθ

Explanation:=

The ratio of the force of static friction and the normal reaction is equal to tanθ. F=mgsinθ. R = mgcosθ.

μ=tanθ

If someone is driving 100 miles in 60 minutes then drives 150 miles in 100 minutes west, what is his acceleration rate.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial position of the car, x₀ = 100 miles = 160, 900 m ( 1 mile = 1609 m)

time of motion, t₀ = 60 minutes = 60 mins x 60 s = 3,600 s

final position of the car, x₁ = 150 miles = 241,350 m

time of motion, t₁ = 100 minutes = 100 mins x 60 s = 6,000 s

The initial velocity is calculated as;

u = 160, 900 m / 3,600 s

u = 44.694 m/s

The final velocity is calculated as;

v = 241,350 m / 6,000 s

v = 40.225 m/s

The acceleration is calculated as;

a = \frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t} = \frac{v- u}{t_1 - t_ 0} = \frac{40.225  - 44.694}{6000-3600} = -0.00186 \ m/s^2\\\\

Therefore, his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²
