Have everything in control and in order and discuss about different issues.
Answer:
d = 375 m
Explanation:
The speed of sound is constant in any medium, therefore we can use the uniform motion relationships
v = x / t
x = v t
In this case it indicates that the time since the sound is emitted and received is t = 0.50 s, in this time the sound traveled a round trip distance
x = 2d
2d = v t
d = v t/2
let's calculate
d = 1500 0.5 / 2
d = 375 m
I can't see numbers here, so here are all the answers:
1) the frequency is c/λ = 3e8/556e-9 = 5.39e14Hz
2) light travels at <span>299,792,458 m/s. So in nanoseconds it's 0.299792458m. This is about 1/3 of a meter which is about one foot.
3) length is L = ct = (</span>299,792,458 m/s)(6e-15) = 1.799e-6m or 1.799μm
Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the downward speed of a falling object every second. (On Earth.)
In 7 seconds, gravity adds (7 x 9.8 m/s) = <em>68.6 m/s</em> to the downward speed of a falling object.
(IF air resistance has no effect on the object.)
