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.

What resistance would produce a current of 200A with a potiential difference of 200V?
viktelen [127]
Aw, I hate physics, is this on Apex?

Resistance can be calculated with the information given in the question.
Equation for Resistance: R = V/I
V (voltage) = 200 Volts
I (current) = 200 Amps

So 200 divided by 200 = freaking 1

Answer: R = 1 (ohms)

Hope this Helps!

Three collinear forces,F1=45N west,F2=63N east and an unknown force F3 are applied to an object.The resultant force of the three
Greeley [361]

Take east to be the positive direction. Then the resultant force from adding <em>F</em>₁ and <em>F</em>₂ is

<em>F</em>₁ + <em>F</em>₂ = (-45 N) + 63 N = 18 N

which is positive, so it's directed east.

To this we add a third force <em>F</em>₃ such that the resultant is 12 N pointing west, making it negative, so that

18 N + <em>F</em>₃ = -12 N

<em>F</em>₃ = -30 N

So <em>F</em>₃ has a magnitude of 30 N and points west.

Explain Thomsons model of an atom<br><br><br>please its aurgent fast​
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Thomson's model showed an atom that had a positively charged medium, or space, with negatively charged electrons inside the medium. After its proposal, the model was called a "plum pudding" model because the positive medium was like a pudding, with electrons, or plums, inside.

if the current in a wire is 2.0 amperes and the potential difference across the wire is 10 volts what is the resistance of the w
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

R = 2Ω

Explanation:

Potential difference (V) = current (I) * Resistance (R)

V = IR

I = 2.0A

V = 10v

R = ?

V = IR

R = V / I

R = 10 / 2

R = 2Ω

The resistance across the wire is 2Ω
