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

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP I REALLY NEED HELP!!!!!!
Andrews [41]

Answer:

In thermodynamics, heat is transferred energy that moves between substances or systems because of their temperature difference. According to the first law of thermodynamic and the law of energy conversion s a form of energy, heat is cannot be created or destroyed only moves from one form to other.

The stone gets heat energy from fire and moves this heat energy or thermal energy to water as it cools off and the water warms up. Heat moves or is transferred spontaneously from the hot stone into the cold water. Eventually, the stone and water have the same temperature and water becomes heated. At the time of heat flowing out of the stone into the water, the heat energy became less ordered, due to spreading out through both the stone and the water. This is a net increase in entropy which is the second law of entropy.

With what minimum speed must you toss a 200 g ball straight up to just touch the 14-m-high roof of the gymnasium if you release
Brut [27]
When they say use energy, you want to use

Total energy = potential energy + kinetic energy = mgh + 1/2mv²

I assume you mean 200 g ball,

so, we know the total distance traveled is going to be 13 - 1.3 = 11.7 m

If the ball just makes it to the top ( 13 m ) , then the ball will stop moving and the kinetic energy will be 0,

therefore, the potential energy at the top will be the total energy of the system = mgh

from this, we say that mgh = 1/2mv² solve for v

<span> v = sqrt (2gh) = 15.2 m/s </span>
