A hiker is at the bottom of a canyon facing the canyon wall closest to her. She is 790.5 meters from the wall and the sound of h

er voice travels at 329.2 m/s at that location. How long after she shouts will she hear her echo? Round to two decimals. (Be careful to consider why echoes happen)

Answer:

4.80 seconds

Explanation:

The velocity of sound is obtained from;

V= 2d/t

Where;

V= velocity of sound = 329.2 ms-1

d= distance from the wall = 790.5 m

t= time = the unknown

t= 2d/V

t= 2 × 790.5/ 329.2

t= 4.80 seconds

Read the scenario and solve these two problems.
Burka [1]

Answers:

a) 5400000 J

b) 45.92 m

Explanation:

a) The kinetic energy K of an object is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}

Where:

m=12000 kg is the mass of the train

V=30 m/s is the speed of the train

Solving the equation:

K=\frac{1}{2}(12000 kg)(30 m/s)^{2}

K=5400000 J This is the train's kinetic energy at its top speed

b) Now, according to the Conservation of Energy Law, the total initial energy is equal to the total final energy:

E_{i}=E_{f}

K_{i}+P_{i}=K_{f}+P_{f}

Where:

K_{i}=5400000 J is the train's initial kinetic energy

P_{i}=0 J is the train's initial potential energy

K_{f}=0 J is the train's final kinetic energy

P_{f}=mgh is the train's final potential energy, where g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity and h is the height.

Rewriting the equation with the given values:

5400000 J=(12000 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})h

Finding h:

h=45.918 m \approx 45.92 m

A ball bounced by a basketball player on the floor bounces back up at her. Newton's First Law Newton's Second Law Newton's Third
taurus [48]

Answer:

Newton's Third Law of Motion

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law of Motion which states that, for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.

This ultimately implies that, in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.

In this scenario, a ball bounced by a basketball player on the floor bounces back up at her.

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, the statement above simply means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects i.e the ball and floor. The size of the force on the ball equals the size of the force on the floor. These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion.

Hence, the ball bounced by the basketball player on the floor would bounce back in equal magnitude.

In 6 secs, the dog covers-
S=vt
8.9*6 = 53.4 m.
In the same time, the cat covers, 53.4-3.8 = 49.6 m.
Thus, speed of the cat, v= s/t, 
= 49.6/6 = 8.267 m/s

Heat energy moves:_______.
steposvetlana [31]

c) only from warmer areas to colder areas.

The second principle of thermodynamics states that heat can only flow from a hotter body to a cooler one. Specifically, Clausius statement says that is not possible for heat to move by itself from a lower temperature body to a higher temperature body.
