In Speed Study Number 1, we looked at two cars traveling the same distance at different speeds on city streets. Car "A" traveled

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

230.4 s

Explanation:

The speed of car A is

$v_A = 35 mi/h$

and the distance travelled is

$d = 10 mi$

so the time taken for car A is

$t_A = \frac{d}{v_A}=\frac{10 mi}{35 mi/h}=0.286 h$

The speed of car B is

$v_B = 45 mi/h$

and the distance travelled is

$d = 10 mi$

so the time taken for car B is

$t_B = \frac{d}{v_B}=\frac{10 mi}{45 mi/h}=0.222 h$

So the difference in time is

$\Delta t = t_A - t_B = 0.286 h -0.222 h=0.064 h$

Which corresponds to

$\Delta t = 0.064 h \cdot 3600 s/h = 230.4 s$

so car B arrived 230.4 s before car A.

A group of hikers hear an echo 3.3 s after they shout. The temperature is 20◦C.

romanna [79]

Answer:

560 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound in air is approximately:

v ≈ v₀ + 0.6T

where v₀ is the speed of sound at 0°C (273 K) in m/s, and T is the temperature in Celsius.

The speed of sound at 20°C at that altitude is:

v ≈ 327 + 0.6(20)

v ≈ 339 m/s

The sound travels from the hikers to the mountain and back again, so it travels twice the distance.

339 m/s = 2d / 3.3 s

2d = 1118.7 m

d = 559.35 m

Rounding, the mountain is approximately 560 m away.
