A mirror faces a cliff located some distance away. mounted on the cliff is a second mirror, directly opposite the first mirror a

nd facing toward it. a gun is fired very close to the first mirror. the speed of sound is 336 m/s. how many times does the flash of the gunshot travel the round-trip distance between the mirrors before the echo of the gunshot is heard?

The speed of light is  299,792,468 m/s .

The speed of sound is  336 m/s .

The speed of light is (299,792,458 / 336) = 892,239 times the speed of sound.

By the time the sound has reached the side of the cliff and echoed
back to the shooter's position, the flash of the shot has made the same
round trip  892,239 times.

(Maybe possibly perhaps only 892,238 times, since the speed of light
is slightly slightly slightly slightly less in air.)

A long wire is known to have a radius greater than 4.0 mm and to carry a current uniformly distributed over its cross section. i
ollegr [7]

Magnetic field outside it due to long wire is given by

B = \frac{u_o i}{2 \pi r}

Magnetic field due to long wire inside wire at any point

B = \frac{u_o i r}{2 \pi R^2}

Now the ratio of two magnetic field is given by

\frac{B_{in}}{B_{out}} = \frac{r_1/R^2}{1/r_2}

\frac{0.285}{0.200} = \frac{4*10}{R^2}

1.425 = \frac{40}{R^2}

R = 5.3 mm

A baseball has a mass of 145 g. A pitcher throws the baseball so that it accelerates at a rate of 80 m/s2 How much force did the
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

<h2>11.6 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

mass is in kg

1000 g = 1 kg

145 g = 0.145 kg

From the question we have

force = 0.145 × 80

We have the final answer as

<h3>11.6 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
