Answer:

2000years

Explanation:

We will either convert the distance to centimeters or speed to meters/second.

Converting distance to centimeters: 100 meters= 100*100centimeters =10000centimeters.

time=distance/speed

t=10000/5=2000 years

A Person whose weight is 5.20 x 10^2 N is being pulledup
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of Person W=5.20\times 10^{2} N

Cave is h=35.1 m deep

Breaking stress T=569 N

Net Force on Person

F_{net}=569-520=49 N

a_{net}=\frac{F_{net}}{\frac{W}{g}}

a_{net}=\frac{49}{\frac{520}{9.8}}

a_{net}=0.923 m/s^2

The shortest time such that the person can be taken out of cave

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

h=distance moved

t=time

a=acceleration

35.1=0+\frac{1}{2}(0.923)(t)^2

t^2=76.05

t=\sqrt{76.05}

t=8.72\ s

What factors affect the speed of water waves
Aneli [31]
Hey there,

Your question states: What factors affect the speed of water waves
Let's get one thing out the way, (wavelength) does NOT affect the the speed of water. If anything, it would be how high the wavelength's are. The higher the wavelengths are, the more that it would affect the speed, because there very high, but if it were to go longer on the width side, that would increase the speed, but that's not the case. Your correct answer would be (higher wavelength).

Hope this really helps you.

An ambulance driver traveling at 31.0 m/s (69.3 mph) honks his horn as he sees a motorist ahead on the highway traveling in the
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

fo = 378.52Hz

Explanation:

Using Doppler effect formula:

f'=\frac{C-Vb}{C-Va}*fo

where

f' = 392 Hz

C = 340m/s

Vb = 20m/s

Va = 31m/s

Replacing these values and solving for fo:

fo = 378.52Hz

A stone is launched straight up by a slingshot. Its initial speed is 19.6 m/s, and the stone is 1.50 m above the ground when lau
arlik [135]

Answer: a) 19.21m b) 3.92secs

Explanation:

a) Maximum height reached by the object is the height reached by an object before falling freely under gravity.

Maximum height = U²/2g

U is the initial velocity = 19.6m/s

g is acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

Maximum Height = 19.6²/2(10)

H = 19.21m

b) The time elapsed before the stone hits the ground is the time of flight T= 2U/g

T= 2(19.6)/10

T = 39.2/10

Time elapsed is 3.92secs
