Answer: u = 2.264m/s

Therefore the initial speed of the rock is 2.264m/s downwards.

Question:

A rock is thrown downward into a well that is 9.00m deep. If the splash is heard 1.17 seconds later, what was the initial speed of the rock? Take the speed of sound in the air to be 343 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

Speed of sound in air vs= 343m/s

Time taken to hear the sound t= 1.17s

Distance travelled by rock is d = 9.00m (travelled downward)

The total time taken to hear sound t can be written as;

t = t1 +t2 ......1

Where

t1 is the time taken for the rock to reach the bottom of the well and

t2 is the time taken for the sound to travel back to the top of the well.

t2 = distance/velocity of sound = d/vs = 9/343 = 0.0262s

From equation 1

t1 = t - t2

t1 = 1.17 - 0.0262

t1 = 1.1438

For the rock traveling, down the well the formula for distance travelled by the rock is;

d = ut + 0.5gt^2

u = (d -0.5gt^2)/t

For this case t = t1

g = 9.8m/s2 acceleration due to gravity

d = 9

u is the initial speed of rock.

u = (9 - 0.5×9.8×1.1438^2)/1.1438

u = 2.5894/1.1438

u = 2.264m/s

Therefore the initial speed of the rock is 2.264m/s downwards.

Incomplete question.The complete question is here

A rock is thrown downward into a well that is 9.00m deep.

If the splash is heard 1.17 seconds later, what was the initial speed of the rock? Take the speed of sound in the air to be 343 m/s.

Answer:

v₀= 2.263 m/s....(initial speed)

Explanation:

Given Data

well is = 9.00m deep

time=1.17 seconds

speed of sound =343 m/s

To find

Speed of rock=?

Solution

as

gravity=9.8 m/s²

Time the splash reaches=d/v = 9/343= 0.026239s  

Rock fall time= 1.17-0.0262= 1.1438s  

thrown downward:

h=h₀-v₀t+1/2gt²...................eq(i)

Where h=0m

h₀=9m

t=1.1438s

g=-9.8m/s²

put the values in eq(i)

0= 9-(v₀×1.1438)+{1/2(-9.8)×(1.1438)²}

1.1438v₀= 2.589  

v₀= 2.263 m/s....(initial speed)

Which of the following statements is FALSE?
Levart [38]

A thrust fault is a reverse fault with an extremely high dip (close to 90°). This is the false statement.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Faults are the fracture or fracture zone occurring on the rocks. These fractures can travel through the rocks leading to massive destruction. So, depending upon the direction of their travel, the faults can be classified as normal, reverse and strike slip fault. Also, the angle of dip along the fault is one of the important criteria for determining the type of faults.

There is dip-slip fault which has its movement along the vertical fault plane while the strike slip fault will be in horizontal direction. Similarly, an oblique fault will be acting in both vertical and the horizontal direction. So, the fourth statement related to thrust fault is false as in reverse fault or thrust fault the dip will be shallow and not high.

How many miles will be completed by a runner with a constant speed of 5 mph in 30 minutes?
Mrac [35]
Distance=speed times time
speed=5mph=5 \frac{mi}{hr}
time=30mins=30/60hr=1/2hr

so
distance=speed times time
distance=(5\frac{mi}{hr})(\frac{1}{2}hr)
distance=\frac{5mi \space\ hr}{2hr}
distance=2.5mi

he will run 2.5 miles in 30 mins at the speed of 5mph

PLEASE HELP ASAP Which one of the following is a step used for balancing chemical equations?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

C. Count the atoms in each substance in the reactants and products.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a chemical process which typically involves the transformation or rearrangement of the atomic, ionic or molecular structure of an element through the breakdown and formation of chemical bonds to produce a new compound or substance.

In order for a chemical equation to be balanced, the condition which must be met is that the number of atoms in the reactants equals the number of atoms in the products.

This ultimately implies that, the mass and charge of the chemical equation are both balanced properly.

In Chemistry, all chemical equation must follow or be in accordance with the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed by either a physical transformation or a chemical reaction but transformed from one form to another in an isolated (closed) system.

One of the step used for balancing chemical equations is to count the atoms in each substance in the reactants and products.

For example;

NH3 + O2 -----> NO + H2O

The number of atoms in each chemical element are;

For the reactant side:

Nitrogen, N = 1

Hydrogen, H = 3

Oxygen, O = 2

For the product side;

Nitrogen, N = 1

Hydrogen, H = 2

Oxygen, O = 2

When we balance the chemical equation, we would have;

NH3 + 3O2 -----> 4NO + 2H2O

There are 640 acres in a square mile. how many square meters are there in 7.80 acres.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

On 7.8 acres there are 31565.3 square meters

7.8 acres = 31565.3 m²

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

Acre, square mile and square meter are area units, so their equivalences are in square units.

Known data

1 (mi)² = 640 acres

1 mi = 1609.34 m

Problem development

We know that 1 mile = 1609.34m, then: (1 mile)² = (1609.34m)²=(1609.34)²m²

We apply the known conversion factors to calculate the square meters (X) in 7.8 acres:

X=7.8 acres *\frac{(1 mi)^{2} }{640 acres} * \frac{(1609.34)^{2}m^{2}  }{(1 mi)^{2} }

We eliminate acres and square miles (mi²) because they are in the numerator and denominator, so the answer is in square meters (m²)

X=31565.3 m²

On 7.8 acres there are 31565.3 square meters

7.8 acres = 31565.3 m²

The total momentum of two marbles before a collision is 0.06 kg-m / s. no outside forces act on the marbles. what is the total m
SpyIntel [72]
Hi my friend, since momentum is always conserved without external forces, the momentum after the collosion will still be 0.06 kg*m/s. Hope it helps☺
