A hiker determines the length of a lake by listening for the echo of her shout reflected by a cliff at the far end of the lake.

She hears the echo 2.91 s after shouting. Determine the length of the lake. Speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.

Answer:

L = 499 m

Explanation:

  • If we assume that the speed of sound is constant, that travels along a straight line, and that the echo is instantaneous, we can find the total distance travelled by the sound, as follows, just applying the definition of average velocity:

       \Delta x = v_{s} * t = 343 m/s* 2.91 s = 998 m

  • If we assume that the time needed to reach to the cliff, is the same used for the return travel, the length of the lake will be exactly half of the total distance calculated:

        l_{lake} = \frac{\Delta x}{2} = \frac{998m}{2} = 499 m

  • The length of the lake is 499 m.

What speed would a proton need to achieve in order to circle Earth 1790 km above the magnetic equator, where the Earth's mag- ne
irinina [24]

Answer:

The velocity is 31.25 m/s and direction is toward west.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance h= 1790 km = 1.790\times10^{6}\ m

Magnetic field B=4\times10^{-8}\ T

Mass of proton m=1.673\times10^{-21}\ Kg

Radius of earth R =6.38\times10^{6}\ m

Radius of orbit r=R+h

r=6.38\times10^{6}+1.790\times10^{6}

r=8170000\ m

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of magnetic field

Bvq=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v=\dfrac{Bqr}{m}

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{4\times10^{-8}\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times8170000}{1.673\times10^{-21}}

v=31.25\ m/s

Hence, The velocity is 31.25 m/s and direction is toward west.
