Answer:

The correct option is;

C. 1,715 m

Explanation:

We are given the information from the group of teen at the City edge

Time of arrival of explosion sound = 5 s after sighting

Time of sighting explosion = 5 s before hearing the boom

Speed of sound in air ≈ 343 m/s

Speed of light = 299,792 km/s

Therefore, distance covered by sound in 5 seconds is given by the following equation;

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

\therefore 343 \ m/s= \frac{Distance}{5 \, s}

Hence Distance = 343 m/s × 5 s = 1715 m

To check, we compare the time it would take for the light to cover 1715 m

That is Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed} =  \frac{1715}{299,792,000} = 0.00000572 \, s which is instantaneous hence the distance can be approximated by the time duration for the speed of sound.

Therefore, the distance of the students from the factory is approximately 1,715 m

A 600kg car is moving at 5 m/s to the right and elastically collided with a stationary 900 kg car. What is the velocity of the 9
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

\mathrm{v}_{2} \text { velocity after the collision is } 3.3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

Explanation:

It says “Momentum before the collision is equal to momentum after the collision.” Elastic Collision formula is applied to calculate the mass or velocity of the elastic bodies.

m_{1} v_{1}=m_{2} v_{2}

\mathrm{m}_{1} \text { and } \mathrm{m}_{2} \text { are masses of the object }

\mathrm{v}_{1} \text { velocity before the collision }

\mathrm{v}_{2} \text { velocity after the collision }

\mathrm{m}_{1}=600 \mathrm{kg}

\mathrm{m}_{2}=900 \mathrm{kg}

\text { Velocity before the collision } v_{1}=5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

600 \times 5=900 \times v_{2}

3000=900 \times v_{2}

\mathrm{v}_{2}=\frac{3000}{900}

\mathrm{v}_{2}=3.3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

\mathrm{v}_{2} \text { velocity after the collision is } 3.3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}
