A person, with his ear to the ground, sees a huge stone strike the concrete pavement. A moment later two sounds are heard from t

he impact: one travels in the air and the other in the concrete, and they are 0.90s apart. The speed of sound in air is343 m/s, and in concrete is 3000 m/s.How far away did the impact occur?

<h2>The impact is occurred at a distance 348.55 m far from person.</h2>

Explanation:

Let s be the distance to the impact position and t be the time when he hears the sound though concrete after impact.

Time when he hears impact through air = t + 0.90

The distance traveled by sound wave in both concrete and air is s.

Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

Speed of sound in concrete = 3000 m/s

Distance traveled in air = Distance traveled in concrete

343 x Time when he hears impact through air = 3000 x Time when he hears impact through concrete

        343 x (t + 0.90) = 3000 x t

                  3000t - 343 t = 343 x 0.90

                  2657t = 308.7

                      t = 0.116 s

Distance traveled in concrete = 3000 x t = 3000 x 0.116 = 348.55m

So the impact is occurred at a distance 348.55 m far from person.

In physics, the use of force to move an object is called what
valentina_108 [34]

Answer: work

Explanation:

Often in physics, work is defined as the use of force to move an object. Technically, work is actually a change in energy caused by a force external to the system. The formula for work is W = F⊥d or W = FdcosΘ. Using this formula, we can see that work is just when a force is applied for a certain displacement. In simpler terms, that's just a force used to move an object a certain distance.

How far will a car travel if its velocity is 45 m/s in 2 seconds? Use one of the following equations:
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

d=v*t

d=? v=45m/s t=2sec

therefore, d= 45*2=90m

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

54.67 N

Explanation:

The total energy produced is the product of power and time duration:

E = Pt = 82 * 1 = 82 J

Which is converted from work, product of forced extended over a displacement

W = E = Fs = F*1.5 = 82

F = 82 / 1.5 = 54.67 N

So the magnitude of the force exerting on the handle is 54.67 N
