Answer:

697 m

Explanation:

From the question above,

Note: Alice hears the splash of the rock in the well through the help of echo.

Applying,

v = 2x/t........................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of sound, x = depth of the well, t = time.

make x the subject of the formula in equation 1

x = vt/2................... Equation 2.

Given: v = 340 m/s, t = 4.1 s

Substitute these values into equation 2

x = 340(4.1)/2

x = 697 m.

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

h = 22.35 m

Explanation:

given,

initial speed of the rock,u = 0 m/s

length of the window,l = 2.7 m

time taken to cross the window,t = 0.129 s

Speed of the rock when it crosses the window

$v = \dfrac{l}{t}$

$v = \dfrac{2.7}{0.129}$

v = 20.93 m/s

height of the building above the window

using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 g h

20.93² = 0² + 2 x 9.8 x h

h = 22.35 m

Hence, the height of the building above the top of window is equal to h = 22.35 m

Thermodynamic Processes: An ideal gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of its initial volume. The resulting pressure will

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

Explanation:

The equation of state for ideal gases is described below:

$P\cdot V = n \cdot R_{u}\cdot T$ (1)

Where:

$P$ - Pressure.

$V$ - Volume.

$n$ - Molar quantity, in moles.

$R_{u}$ - Ideal gas constant.

$T$ - Temperature.

Given that ideal gas is compressed isothermally, this is, temperature remains constant, pressure is increased and volume is decreased, then we can simplify (1) into the following relationship:

$P_{1}\cdot V_{1} = P_{2}\cdot V_{2}$ (2)

If we know that $\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{1}{3}$ , then the resulting pressure of the system is:

$P_{2} = P_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} \right)$

$P_{2} = 3\cdot P_{1}$

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

Choose what colors are absorbed when white light hits a red apple. (Pick all that apply.)

astra-53 [7]

A red apple absorbs all colors of visible light except red, so red light
is the only light left to bounce off of the apple toward our eyes.
(This is a big part of the reason that we call it a "red" apple.)

Here's how the various items on the list make out when they hit the apple:

Red . . . . . reflected
Orange . . absorbed
Yellow . . . absorbed
Green . . . absorbed
Blue . . . . absorbed
Violet . . . absorbed
Black . . . no light; not a color
White . . . has all colors in it
