You watch distant Sally Homemaker driving nails into a front porch at a regular rate of 1 stroke per second. You hear the sound

of the blows exactly synchronized with the blows you see. And then you hear one more blow after you see the hammering stop. Calculate the distance of Sally from you.

Answer:

343m

Explanation:

From the question Sally hits one blow every second

However, the sound is delayed by that same amount of time (1 sec)

If the speed of sound is 343m/s

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = 343m/s

Time = 1s

Distance = Speed x Time

= 343 x 1 = 343m

Answer:

Explanation:

Samantha walks along a horizontal path in the direction shown the curved path is a semi circle with a radius of 2 m while the horizontal part is for me what is the magnitude of displacement

Displacement is given by the straight line distance between P and Q. Displacement will be length of straight line joining P and Q

a semi circle with a radius of 2 m

Length of this straight line=4+diameter

=4+(2*2)

=8 m

A helicopter starting on the ground is rising directly into the air at a rate of 25 ft/s. You are running on the ground starting
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The rate of change of the distance between the helicopter and yourself (in ft/s) after 5 s is \sqrt{725} ft/ sec

Explanation:

Given:

h(t) =  25 ft/sec

x(t) = 10 ft/ sec

h(5) = 25 ft/sec . 5 = 125 ft

x(5) = 10 ft/sec . 5 = 50 ft

Now we can calculate the distance between the person and the helicopter by using the Pythagorean theorem

D(t) = \sqrt{h^2 + x^2}

Lets find the derivative of distance with respect to time

\frac{dD}{dt} (t)  = \frac{2h \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} +2x \cdot\frac{dx}{dt}} {2\sqrt{h^2 + x^2}}

Substituting the values of h(t) and  x(t) and simplifying we get,

\frac{dD}{dt}(t) = \frac{50t \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} + 20 \cdot \frac{dx}dt}{2\sqrt{625\cdot t^2 + 100 \cdot t^2}}

\frac{dh}{dt} = 25ft/sec

\frac{dx}{dt} = 10 ft/sec

\frac{Dd}{dt} (t) = \frac{1250t +200t}{2\sqrt{725}t}  = \frac{725}{\sqrt{725}}  = \sqrt{725} ft / sec

A ball starts from rest. It rolls down a ramp and reaches the ground after 4 seconds. Its final velocity when it reaches the gro
Hunter-Best [27]
If it starts at rest the initial velocity is 0.
For an acceleration, a, and time, t, the velocity is v=at. Since at t=4, v=7, then a=7/4=1.75m/s^2

A sample of carbon dioxide (C°p,m = 37.11 J K−1 mol−1) of mass 2.80 g at 27°C is allowed to expand reversibly and adiabatically
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

182 to 3 s.f

Explanation:

Workdone for an adiabatic process is given as

W = K(V₂¹⁻ʸ - V₁¹⁻ʸ)/(1 - γ)

where γ = ratio of specific heats. For carbon dioxide, γ = 1.28

For an adiabatic process

P₁V₁ʸ = P₂V₂ʸ = K

K = P₁V₁ʸ

We need to calculate the P₁ using ideal gas equation

P₁V₁ = mRT₁

P₁ = (mRT₁/V₁)

m = 2.80 g = 0.0028 kg

R = 188.92 J/kg.K

T₁ = 27°C = 300 K

V₁ = 500 cm³ = 0.0005 m³

P₁ = (0.0028)(188.92)(300)/0.0005

P₁ = 317385.6 Pa

K = P₁V₁¹•²⁸ = (317385.6)(0.0005¹•²⁸) = 18.89

W = K(V₂¹⁻ʸ - V₁¹⁻ʸ)/(1 - γ)

V₁ = 0.0005 m³

V₂ = 2.10 dm³ = 0.002 m³

1 - γ = 1 - 1.28 = - 0.28

W =

18.89 [(0.002)⁻⁰•²⁸ - (0.0005)⁻⁰•²⁸]/(-0.28)

W = -67.47 (5.698 - 8.4)

W = 182.3 = 182 to 3 s.f
