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.

Answer all of them an you will get the brain list
Vlad [161]

Answer:

4. Force = 178.6 Newton.  

5. Acceleration = 2.28 m/s².

6. Force = 178.6 Newton.

Explanation:

4. Given the following data;

Acceleration = 3.8 m/s²

Mass = 47kg

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 47 * 3.8

<em>Force = 178.6 Newton. </em>

5. Given the following data;

Force = 785N

Mass = 345kg

Acceleration = force/mass

Acceleration = 785/345

<em>Acceleration = 2.28 m/s²</em>

6. Given the following data;

Acceleration = 6m/s²

Force = 32N

Mass =force/acceleration

Mass = 32/6

<em>Mass = 5.33 kilograms </em>

The Graph above shows the speed of a car traveling in a straight line as a function of time. The car accelerates uniformly and r
devlian [24]

Answer:

Where is the graph??

If a car travels from zero to 4 m/s ins 8 sec

a = 4 / 8 = .5 m/s^2

V (2) = 2 * .5 = 1 m/s after 2 sec

S = V t + 1/2 a t^2

S = 1 * 3.9 + 1/2 * 1/2 *3.9^2 = 3.9 + 3.80 = 7.70 m   from 2 to 5.9  sec

Check:

Total distance traveled = 1/2 a t^2 = 5.9^2 / 4 = 8.70 m

Distance traveled in 2 sec = 1/2 * 1/2 * 4 = 1 m

Total distance from 2 to 5.9 = 8.7 - 1 = 7.7 m agreeing with thw above

How was newton's laws used to solve problems on apollo 13 ship<br> Explain in two full paragraphs
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

actually ships are made in newtons third law of motion.it states to every action there is equal and opposite reaction. curved is made in downwards to maintain upthrust and to made balance.

actually it prevents ships from drowning and to move with a heavy mass.

I would say D is the right answer.

If the object is in an electromagnetic field, then it's movement can be generalized by interactions between charges.
