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.

6 0

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

An air craft heads north at 320 km/hr relative to the wind. the wind velocity is 80km/hr from the north. find the relative veloc
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Relative to the ground, the velocity of the aircraft is 240 km/hr

Explanation:

Relative velocity is different from normal velocity;

When 2 objects are moving in opposite directions towards each other, they will appear to be faster than they actually are;

This is known as the relative velocity;

The information tells us we have the aircraft moving 320 km/hr northwards relative to the wind;

The wind is in the opposite direction at 80 km/hr;

R = relative velocity of the aircraft

v = actual velocity of the aircraft

w = velocity of the wind

R = v + w

Note: if the wind was moving in the same direction, the formula would be R = v - w

320 = v + 80

v = 320 - 80

v = 240

The velocity relative to the ground is simply the actual velocity as the ground doesn't move;

So, relative to the ground, the velocity of the aircraft is simply 240 km/hr

butalik [34]

Answer:

m=5.51Kg

Explanation:

The weight of an object on Earth is given by W=mg, so we can calculate its mass by doing m=W/g, which for our values is:

m=(54N)/(9.8m/s^2)=5.51Kg

<em>Nothing is being asked</em> about Io but if one wanted to know the weight <em>W'</em> of the watermelon there one just have to do:

W'=ma=(5.51Kg)(1.81m/s^2)=9.97N
