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.

How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram-skier at a rate of 1.2 m/sec^2?
DiKsa [7]
<span>Answer: Force = 81.6 N

Explanation:
According to Newton's Second law:
F = ma --- (1)

Where F = Force = ?
m = Mass = 68 kg
a = Acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2

Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => F = 68 * 1.2
F = 81.6 N (The force needed to accelerate the skier at a rate of 1.2 m/s^2)</span>

An adult human is 60 percent water; a third of this water is in extracellular fluid, and 20 percent of extracellular fluid is in
Yanka [14]

Answer:

32 pounds

Explanation:

The amount of water in the 200 pound person is

200 * 60% = 200*0.6 = 120 pounds

Of the 120 pounds, a third of this is extracellular fluid, the amount of extracellular fluid is

120 / 3 = 40 pounds

20 % of this is in the blood, which amounts to

40 * 20% = 40 * 0.2 = 8 pounds

The rest is interstitial fluid, which is

40 - 8 = 32 pounds
