You watch a distant lady driving nails into her front porch at a regular rate of 2 strokes per second. You hear the sound of the

blows exactly synchronized with the blows you see. And then you hear one more blow after you see her stop hammering. How far away is she? The speed of sound is 340 m/s.

Since the lady is capable of delivering 2 strokes in 1 second, we know that it takes 0.5 seconds for one stroke of the hammer.

It is given that one more blow is heard even after she is seen as stopping hammering. This means that the sound from the last blow reached us a little later: 0.5 seconds after the last blow.

So, we know that time taken for the sound from the last blow to reach us t = 0.5 s

Speed of Sound is given as V = 340 m/s

Distance of the lady from us D = ?

Using the equation D = V.t, we get D = (340)(0.5) = 170 m

Thus, we can understand that the lady is 170 meters away from us.

A 120 kg box is on the verge of slipping down an inclined plane with an angle of inclination of 47º. What is the coefficient of
Alex_Xolod [135]

Given :

A 120 kg box is on the verge of slipping down an inclined plane with an angle of inclination of 47º.

To Find :

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane.

Solution :

Vertical component of force :

mg\ sin\ \theta =  120\times 10 \times sin\ 47^\circ{}=877.62 \ N

Horizontal component of force(Normal reaction) :

mg\ cos\ \theta =  120\times 10 \times cos\ 47^\circ{}=818.40 \ N

Since, box is on the verge of slipping :

mg\ sin\ \theta= \mu(mg \ cos\ \theta)\\\\\mu = tan \ \theta\\\\\mu = tan\ 47^o\\\\\mu = 1.07

Therefore, the coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane is 1.07.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Q C Many people assume air resistance acting on a moving object will always make the object slow down. It can, however, actually
OLga [1]

$E_i-E_f=-17.94 \times 10^9 \mathrm{~J}-\left(-18.30 \times 10^9 \mathrm{~J}\right)=3.60 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~J}$.

The most effective forces on the object are the backward force of air resistance relatively very small in magnitude, and the force of gravity. Because the spiral path of the satellite is not perpendicular to the gravitational force, one element of the gravitational force pulls forward. at the satellite to do fantastic work & make its speed increase.

<h3>What is called gravitational force?</h3>

Gravity, additionally referred to as gravitation, is a force that exists amongst all material gadgets withinside the universe. For any objects or particles having nonzero mass, the force of gravity tends to draw them in the direction of each other. Gravity operates on objects of all sizes, from subatomic particles to clusters of galaxies.
