a person hears an echo from the top of a tower , 2.2 second after the sound is produced.how far away is the tower from the perso
1 answer:
Answer:
730.4 m
Explanation:
The sound waves travels with a uniform motion (=constant velocity), therefore we can calculate the distance it travels using the formula:
where
d is the distance
v is the speed of the sound wave
t is the time taken
In this problem we have:
v = 332 m/s is the speed of sound in air
t = 2.2 s is the time elapsed
Therefore, the distance between the tower and the person is

Let the drops fall at a rate of 1 drop per t seconds. The first drop takes 5t seconds to reach the ground. The second drop takes 4t seconds to reach the bottom of the 1.00 m window, while the 3rd drop takes 3t s to reach the top of the window.
Calculate the distances traveled by the second and the third drops s₂ and s₃, which start from rest from the roof of the building.
The length of the window s is given by,
The first drop is at the bottom and it takes 5t seconds to reach down.
The height of the roof h is the distance traveled by the first drop and is given by,
the height of the roof is 3.57 m
