Imagine a Rip-van-Winkle type who lives in the mountains. Just before going to sleep he yells "WAKE UP" and the sound echoes off

the nearest mountain and returns 8 hours later.
How far away is that mountain? The speed of sound is __ m/s.

Answer:

4939200 m

Explanation:

v = Velocity of sound in air = 343 m/s (general value)

For the echo to reach Rip van Winkle it must cover the distance to the mountain twice. So, time taken for the sound traveling to the mountain once

t=\dfrac{8}{2}=4\ hr

Distance is given by

s=vt\\\Rightarrow s=343\times 4\times 60\times 60\\\Rightarrow s=4939200\ m=4939.2\ km

The distance to the mountain is 4939200 m

The planet Saturn has a mass that is 95 times Earth's mass and a radius that is 9.4 times Earth's radius. What is the accelerati
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

10.55111 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of Saturn = 95\times 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg

r = Radius of Saturn = 9.4\times 6.371\times 10^6\ m

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Acceleration due to gravity is given by

g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 95\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{(9.4\times 6.371\times 10^6)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=10.55111\ m/s^2

The acceleration due to gravity on Saturn is 10.55111 m/s²

The total amount of fresh water on earth is estimated to be 3.73 x 10^8 km^3. What is this volume in cubic meters? in cubic feet
Burka [1]
One km^3 is 1,000,000,000 m^3=10^9 m^3 hence 3.73 10^8 km^3 is 3.73 10^17 m^3

One meter is 3.28084 feet hence 1 m^3 is (3.28084)^3 feet

Thus 3.73 10^8 km^3 is 3.73*35.315 10^17 = 132 cubic feet

A girl is standing 150m in front of a tall building, fires a shot with starting pistol. A boy standing 350m behind her, hears tw
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

300 m/s

Explanation:

The difference in time between the two bangs is 1 s.

Thus;

t2 - t1 = 1

We know that distance/time = speed.

Thus;

d2/v - d1/v = 1

Multiply through by v to get;

d2 - d1 = v

Where v is speed of sound in air.

d1 = 350 m

d2 = (150 × 2) + 350 = 650 m

Thus;

v = d2 - d1 = 650 - 350 = 300 m/s

Please Help Me
JulijaS [17]

1. a=Δv/Δt=(v-vo)/t=(0-25)/5=-25/5=-5 m/s²

The "-" sign shows us that the car has a slow motion


2.a=Δv/Δt=(v-vo)/t=(10-0)/4=10/4=2,5 m/s²


3.they do not have acceleration because they go at constant speed
