An archer fires an arrow, which produces a muffled "thwok" as it hits a target. If the archer hears the "thwok" exactly 1 s afte

r firing the arrow and the average speed of the arrow was 40 mis, what was the distance separating the archer and the target? Use 340 m/ s for the speed of sound.

Answer:

35,79 meters

Explanation:

So, we got an archer, and we got a target. Lets call the distance between this two d.

Now, the archer fires the arrow, that, in a time t_{arrow} travels the distance d with a speed v_{arrow} of 40 m/s and hits the target. We can see that the equation will be:

v_{arrow} * t_{arrow} = d\\ \\40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = d

Immediately after this, the arrow produces a muffled sound, which will travel the distance d at  340 m/s in a time t_{sound}. Obtaining :

v_{sound} * t_{sound} = d\\ \\340 \frac{m}{s} * t_{sound} = d.

Finally, the sound reaches the archer, exactly 1 second after he fired the bow, so:

t_{arrow} + t _{sound} = 1 s.

This equation allows us to write:

t _{sound} = 1 s - t_{arrow}.

Plugging this  relationship in the distance equation for the sound:

340 \frac{m}{s} * t_{sound} = d \\ \\ 340 \frac{m}{s} * (1 s- t_{arrow}) = d.

Now, we can replace d from the first equation, and obtain:

40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = d \\ 40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = 340 \frac{m}{s} * (1 s- t_{arrow}).

Now, we can just work a little bit:

40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = 340 \frac{m}{s} * 1 s - 340 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} \\ \\ 40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} + 340 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = 340 m \\ \\ 380 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = 340 m \\ \\ t_{arrow} = \frac{340 m}{380 \frac{m}{s}} \\ \\ t_{arrow} = 0.8947 s.

Now, we can just plug this value into the first equation:

40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = d

40 \frac{m}{s} * 340/380 s = 35,79 s = d

A spring with constant k = 78 N/m is at the base of a frictionless, 30.0°-inclined plane. A 0.50-kg block is pressed against the
olasank [31]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

   Spring constant (k) = 78 N/m,     \theta = 30^{o}

 Mass of block (m) = 0.50 kg

According to the formula of energy conservation,

                mgh sin \theta = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}

       h = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{kx^{2}}{mg Sin \theta}

          = \frac{78 \times 0.04}{2 \times 0.5 \times 9.8 \times 0.5}

          = 0.64 m

Thus, we can conclude that the distance traveled by the block is 0.64 m.

  • An AC generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy using the principle of electromagnetic induction.
  • <em><u>Slip rings are two hollow rings to which two ends of the armature coil are connected. These rings rotate with the rotation of the coil. They function to  to allow for electrical contact with the brushes.</u></em>
  • Slip rings therefore, provide a means for connecting the rotating armature to an external circuit.

Explanation:

George focus on promotion rather than using the other stores strategy of word-of-mouth. Different types of promotion: advertising, public relations, direct selling and sales promotions.A temporary reduction in the price, such as 50% off. Reduction amount  may be a percentage that can be marked on the package.A coupon booklet is inserted into the local newspaper for delivery. Also on checkout  the customer can be given a coupon based on products purchased. The consumer is automatically entered into the contest/event by purchasing the product.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

K_{total} = 19.4 J

Explanation:

The total kinetic energy that is formed by the linear part and the rotational part is requested

         K_{total} = K_{traslation}  + K_{rotation}

let's look for each energy

linear

        K_{traslation} = ½ m v²

rotation

        K_{rotation} = ½ I w²

the moment of inertia of a solid sphere is

       I = 2/5 m r²

we substitute

       K_{total} = ½ mv² + ½ I w²

           

angular and linear velocity are related

           v = w r

we substitute

           K_{total} = ½ m w² r² + ½ (2/5 m r²) w²

           K_{total} = m w² r² (½ + 1/5)

           K_{total} = \frac{7}{10} m w² r²

let's calculate

           K_{total} = \frac{7}{10}   6.40 16.0² 0.130²

           K_{total} = 19.4 J
