Let the key is free falling, therefore from equation of motion

h = ut +\frac{1}{2}gt^2..

Take initial velocity, u=0, so

h = 0\times t + \frac{1}{2}g t^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2.

h = 0\times t + \frac{1}{2}g t^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \\\ t =\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

As velocity moves with constant velocity of 3.5 m/s, therefore we can use formula

d= v \times t

From above substituting t,

d = v \times \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }.

Now substituting all the given values and g = 9.8 m/s^2, we get

d = 3.5 \ m/s \times \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 45 m}{9.8 m/s^2} } = 10.60 m.

Thus, the distance the boat was from the point of impact when the key was released is 10.60 m.

Two speakers in a stereo emit identical pure tones. As you move around in front of the speakers, you hear the sound alternating
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Interference

Explanation:

When two traveling waves traveling waves along the same path are superimposed(combine). The superimposition of these two waves results in the production of a resultant wave which is defined by the net effect of the two waves. Wave interference occurs most types of waves including radio wave, light, acoustic waves and other wave types. Alternating sound between loud and Zero is heard as the two speakers emit identical pure tones because the resultant amplitude after the interference of the two sound waves is the vector sum of each of their amplitudes. A loud sound is heard, when the crest of both waves meets each other and a zero is heard if the crest of one meets the trough of the other as they cancel out.

mixer [17]

Answer:

Both the astronauts and photographer have the same displacement

Explanation:

Displacement is the minimum distance between two point. The initial point of both the astronauts and the photographer was Florida and the final point was California. So, the minimum distance for both of the astronauts and the photographer would be the distance between Florida and California would be the same.

Hence, both the astronauts and photographer will have the same displacement.

Drupady [299]

The phases of the moon are the changing appearances of the moon, as seen from Earth. Which phase happens immediately after a third quarter moon are the following

Explanation:

  • After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next. Following the third quarter is the waning crescent, which wanes until the light is completely gone -- a new moon.

waning gibbous phase

  • The waning gibbous phase occurs between the full moon and third quarter phases. The last quarter moon (or a half moon) is when half of the lit portion of the Moon is visible after the waning gibbous phase.

Time takes by the moon to go through all the phases

about 29.5 days

  • It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant “fixed” stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon).
  • At 3rd quarter, the moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. Then we see only a crescent. At new, the moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset, and we don't see any of the illuminated side!
