A student throws a baseball at a large gong 52 m away and hears the sound of the gong 1.73333 s later. The speed of sound in air

is 330 m/s.
What was the average speed of the base- ball on its way to the gong? (For simplicity, assume its trajectory to be a straight line.)

Speed = 52/1.57576= 33 m/s

Explanation:

Distance = speed * time

Given , the distance traveled by the baseball = 52 m

Speed of sound in air = 330 m/s

Total time  = 1.73333 s .

Total time for the student to hear the sound of the gong is the sum of the time take for the baseball to reach the gong and the time taken by the sound to travel back.

Distance traveled by the sound is 52 m and the speed is 330 m/s

So time taken by the sound to travel back = distance traveled / the speed

=> time = 52/330 s = 0.15757 s

Time taken by the base ball to reach the gong is the total time - the time taken by the sound

=> time taken by base ball = 1.73333 - 0.15757 = 1.57576s

Speed of the base ball to reach the gong = distance / time

Speed = 52/1.57576= 33 m/s

What is it called when a skydiver is no longer accelerating downward?
raketka [301]

Explanation:

Once the force of air resistance is as large as the force of gravity, a balance of forces is attained and the skydiver no longer accelerates. The skydiver is said to have reached a terminal velocity.
