Answer

given,

height of the jump = 0.44 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

velocity at the height point = 0 m/s

initial speed = ?

Using equation of motion for speed calculation

v² = u² + 2 g h

0 = u² - 2 x 9.8 x 0.44

u = √8.624

u = 2.94 m/s

time taken to reach the highest point

v = u + g t

0 = 2.94 - 9.8 x t

t = 0.3 s

total time of flight will be equal to double of the time taken to reach the maximum height.

Total time = 2 x 0.3 = 0.6 s

When a rocket is traveling toward a mountain at 100 m/s, the sound waves from this rocket's engine approach the mountain at spee
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The initial speed of the rocket is  v_i = 100 m/s

    The speed of the rocket engine sound is V

    The final speed of the rocket is  v_f = 200 \ m/s

The speed of the sound at v_f would still remain V this because the speed of sound wave is constant and is not dependent on the speed of the observer(The mountain ) or the speed of the source (The rocket ).

  A clear example when  lightning strikes you will first see (that is because it travels at  the speed of light which is greater than the speed of sound) but it would take some time before you hear the sound of the   lightning

Here we see that the speed of the lightning(speed of sound) does not affect the speed of the sound it generates

15. You are watching a baseball game on television that 15
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

t_total = 6.99 s

Explanation:

It asks us how long it takes to hear the sound, for this we must look for the time (t₁) it takes for the sound to reach the microphone, the time it takes for the video signal (t₂) to reach the television and the time (₃) it takes for the TV sound to reach us, so the total delay time is

         t_total = t₁ + t₂ + t₂

we look for t1, it indicates that the distance x = 22m

          v = x / t

           t = x / v

           t₁ = 22/343

           t₁ = 6.41 10-2 s

time t₂

          t₂ = 4500 103/3 108

          t₂ = 1.5 10-5 s

time t₃

          t₃ = 2/343

          t₃ = 5.83 10⁻³

Total time is

         t_total = t₁ + t₂ + t₃

         t_total = 6.41 10⁻² + ​​1.5 10⁻⁵ + 0.583 10⁻²

         t_total = 6.99 s

We use towels to dry our body after taking a shower,why?<br><br>​
9966 [12]

Answer:

A wet body has a relatively high concentration of water. When this is transferred to a towel, the large surface area of the towel fabric distributes the water molecules over a much greater surface area, so the relative concentration is lower.
