A rifle is fired in a valley with parallel vertical walls. The echo from one wall is heard 1.55 s after the rifle was fired. The

echo from the other wall is heard 2.5 s after the first echo. How wide is the valley? The velocity of sound is 343 m/s. Answer in units of m.

Answer:

w=694.575\ m

Explanation:

Given:

velocity of the sound, v=343\ m.s^{-1}

time lag in echo form one wall of the valley, t= 1.55\ s

time lag in echo form the other wall of the valley, t'=2.5\ s

<u>distance travelled by the sound in the first case:</u>

d=v.t

d=343\times 1.55

d=531.65\ m

Since this is the distance covered by the sound while going form the source to the walls and then coming back from the wall to the source so the distance of the wall form the source will be half of the distance obtained above.

s=\frac{d}{2}

s=\frac{531.65}{2}

s=265.825\ m

<u>distance travelled by the sound in the second case:</u>

d'=v.t'

d'=343\times 2.5

d'=857.5\ m

Since this is the distance covered by the sound while going form the source to the walls and then coming back from the wall to the source so the distance of the wall form the source will be half of the distance obtained above.

s'=\frac{d'}{2}

s'=\frac{857.5}{2}

s'=428.75\ m

<u>Now the width of valley:</u>

w=s+s'

w=265.825+428.75

w=694.575\ m

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

2000years

Explanation:

We will either convert the distance to centimeters or speed to meters/second.

Converting distance to centimeters: 100 meters= 100*100centimeters =10000centimeters.

time=distance/speed

t=10000/5=2000 years

What are em waves expain in details
Tresset [83]
Electromagnetic waves or EM waves are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. ... They are hence known as 'electromagnetic' waves. The electric field and magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave are perpendicular (at right angles) to each other.

Hope this helps.

A student performs an experiment that involves the motion of a pendulum. The student attaches one end of a string to an object o
lara [203]

Answer:

the answers the correct one is cη

Explanation:

In this simple pendulum experiment the student observes a significant change in time between each period. This occurs since an approximation used is that the sine of the angle is small, so

              sin θ = θ

 

with this approach the equation will be surveyed

     d² θ / dt² = - g / L sin θ

It is reduced to

      d² θ / dt² = - g / L θ

in which the time for each oscillation is constant, for this approximation the angle must be less than 10º so that the difference between the sine and the angles is less than 1%

The angle is related to the height of the pendulum

         sin θ = h / L

         h = L sin θ.

Therefore the student must be careful that the height is small.

When reviewing the answers the correct one is cη
