Answer:

The distance traveled is 109.58 m

Explanation:

The Speed of sound in air = 344 m/s

Let the time in which the dime dropped by the man reach an impact in the well = t₁

Let the time in which the sound travel from the well to the man = t₂

Then

1/2× 10 × t₁² = 344 × t₂ which gives;

5 × t₁² = 344 × t₂.........................(1)

Also the total time before the man heard the dime = t₁ + t₂ = 5

Therefore;

 t₂ = 5 - t₁

Substituting the value of t₂ in equation (1), we have;

5 × t₁² = 344 × (5 - t₁)

5·t₁² + 344·t₁ - 1720 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, we have;

x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\cdot a\cdot c}}{2\cdot a}

Which gives;

t_1 = \dfrac{-344\pm \sqrt{344^{2}-4\times 5\times (-1720)}}{2\times 5}

t₁ = 4.68 s or -73.48 s

Therefore, with the positive value for t₁ = 4.68 s, we have

The distance = 1/2× 10 × 4.68² = 109.58 m

The distance traveled = 109.58 m.

Your weight would change but not your mass, the moon has less gravity so therefore you are going to be lighter :-)

the equation of motion is given for a particle when s is in meters and t is in seconds. Find the acceleration after 4.5 seconds
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

The question is incomplete.

The equation of motion is given for a particle, where s is in meters and t is in seconds. Find the acceleration after 4.5 seconds.

s= sin2(pi)t

Acceleration = d²S/dt²

dS/dt = 2πcos2πt

d²S/dt² = -4π²sin2πt

A(t) = -4π²sin2πt

Next is to find acceleration after 4.5 seconds

A(4.5) = -4π²sin2π(4.5)

A(4.5) = -4π²sin9π

A(4.5) = -4π²sin1620

A(4.5) = -4π²(0)

A(4.5) = 0m/s²
