A person with his ear to the ground, sees a huge stone strikethe concrete pavement. A moment later two sounds are heard from the

impact: one travels n the air and the other in the concrete, andthey are 2.2 s apart. How far away did the impact occur?
*The speed of sound for air is 343 m/s, for concrete˜3000.

Answer:

852.014 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound in air = 343 m/s = v_a

The speed of sound in concrete = 3000 m/s = v_c

The distance the sound traveled = s

Time between the sounds heard  = 2.2 seconds

Time = Distance / Speed

Time taken by sound travel through air

\frac{s}{v_a}=\frac{s}{343}

Time taken by sound travel through concrete

\frac{s}{v_c}=\frac{s}{3000}

So,

\frac{s}{343}-\frac{s}{3000}=2.2\\\Rightarrow \frac{3000s-343s}{1029000}=2.2\\\Rightarrow \frac{2657s}{1029000}=2.2\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{1029000\times 2.2}{2657}\\\Rightarrow s=852.014\ m

The impact occurs 852.014 m away from the person.

An airplane is being pushed West by its engines with a force of 350 N as it starts to take off the runway at the Atlanta airport
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

Force by the engine on plane in West direction = 350 N

Frictional force on the runway = 100 N in east

force exerted by the wind = 100 N in east

net force and direction = ?

consider west to be positive and east be negative.

when airplane will be moving there will be frictional as well as wind resistance will be acting in opposite direction of airplane

Net force = 350 N - 100 N - 100 N

                 = 150 N

as our answer comes out to be positive so the airplane will be moving in West

hence, the correct answer is option C

Melanie gets out of her car at the park. She walks 25 m to the trail entrance.
zhenek [66]

The reference point that should be used to describe Melanie motion is the pond (option C).

<h3>What is reference point?</h3>

Reference point is a particular point in space which is used as an endpoint to measure a distance from or chart a map from.

According to this question, Melanie gets out of her car at the park and walks 25 m to the trail entrance. She jogs around the trail until she reaches a pond, where she stops briefly.

However, she then continues to follow the trail around the pond. This suggests that the pond should serve as the reference point for Melanie's motion.

What is a possible explination for why the giant ice caps that covered a supercontinent in the paleozoic era melted?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
The Paleozoic era spanned from the Cambrian to the Permian and ended with a mass extinction at the end of the Permian. Geologists are still unsure of the cause but the theories include a meteorite impact or a massive volcanic event in Siberia or a combination of both. This could be a possible cause of the melting of the late Paleozoic ice sheets.

In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.41 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, b
V125BC [204]
The total average velocity v=+1.41 m/s (I assume west as positive direction) is given by the total displacement, S, divided by the total time taken, t:
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{S_1+S_2}{t_1+t_2}
where:
-The total displacement S is the algebraic sum of the displacement in the first part of the motion (S_1=6.30 km=6300 m, due west) and of the displacement in the second part of the motion (S_2, due east).
-The total time taken t is the time taken for the first part of the motion, t_1, and the time taken for the second part of the motion, t_2. t_1 can be found by using the average velocity and the displacement of the first part:
t_1= \frac{S_1}{v_1}= \frac{6300 m}{2.49 m/s}=2530 s

t_2, instead, can be written as \frac{S_2}{v_2}, where v_2=-0.630 m/s is the average velocity of the second part of the motion (with a negative sign, since it is due east). 

Therefore, we can rewrite the initial equation as:
v=1.41 = \frac{6300+S_2}{2530- \frac{S_2}{0.630} }
And by solving it, we find the displacement in the second part of the motion (i.e. how far did the backpacker move east):
S_2=-844 m=-0.844 km
