Answer: 288.8 m

Explanation:

We have the following data:

t=15.2 s is the time it takes to the child to reach the bottom of the slope

V_{o}=0 is the initial velocity (the child started from rest)

\theta=15\° is the angle of the slope

d is the length of the slope

Now, the Force exerted on the sled along the ramp is:

F=ma (1)

Where m is the mass of the sled and a its acceleration

In addition, if we draw a free body diagram of this sled, the force along the ramp will be:

F=mg sin \theta (2)

Where g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

Then:

ma=mg sin \theta (3)

Finding a:

a=g sin \theta (4)

a=9.8 m/s^{2} sin(15\°) (5)

a=2.5 m/s^{2} (6)

Now, we will use the following kinematic equations to find d:

V=V_{o}+at (7)

V^{2}=V_{o}^{2}+2ad (8)

Where V is the final velocity

Finding V from (7):

V=at=(2.5 m/s^{2})(15.2 s) (9)

V=38 m/s (10)

Substituting (10) in (8):

(38 m/s)^{2}=2(2.5 m/s^{2})d (11)

Finding d:

d=288.8 m

A sound wave from a police siren has an intensity of 100.0 W/m² at a certain point; a second sound wave from a nearby ambulance
Irina18 [472]

The sound level of the sound wave due to the ambulance is 140.

<h3>What do you mean by sound?</h3>

In terms of physics, the sound is a vibration that travels through a transmission medium like a gas, liquid, or solid as an acoustic wave. Sound is the reception of these waves and the brain's perception of them in terms of human physiology and psychology. Only acoustic waves with frequencies between roughly 20 Hz and 20 kHz, or the audio frequency range, can cause a human to have an auditory sensation. These are sound waves with wavelengths ranging from 17 meters (56 ft) to 1.7 millimeters in the air at atmospheric pressure (0.67 in). Ultrasounds are sound waves with a frequency higher than 20 kHz that are inaudible to humans. Infrasound refers to sound frequencies below 20 Hz. Animals of different species have different hearing ranges.

Describe how the student should measure the time taken for the toy parachute to
PolarNik [594]

The time must be measured with respect to gravity. As it falls, it has free fall that is the force acting on it will be the gravity.With the distance in account, d = 1/2 gt²

t = √(2d/g)
