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:

d=vt

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

d=(332)(2.2)=730.4 m

A crane uses a block and tackle to lift a 2200N flagstone to a height of 25m
Cloud [144]

Remember the headline:  ENERGY IS NEVER CREATED OR DESTROYED

The amount of energy before and after are always equal.  All we ever do with energy is move it around from one place to another.

a). A crane can't create energy.  Lifting the same rock in 20 different ways always takes the <u><em>same amount of work</em></u>.  It doesn't matter whether one person picks the rock straight up, or 50 people get around it and lift it, or roll it up a ramp, or lift it with 16 pulleys and a mile of rope, or use a giant steam crane.

You want to lift a 2200N weight up 25m, you're going to have to supply

(2200N) x (25m) = <em>55,000 Joules</em> of work.

c). YOU put out 55,000 Joules of energy.  It had to GO someplace. Where is it now ? ===>  It's the potential energy the rock has now, from being 25m higher than it was before.  That <em>55,000 Joules</em> is NOW the potential energy  of the rock.

No energy was created or destroyed.  It just got moved around.  

55,000 Joules of energy began as nuclear energy in the core of the sun. Solar radiation carried it to the Earth. Plants absorbed it, and stored it as chemical energy.  You ... or a cow that you ate later ... ate the plants and took the chemical energy.  One way or the other, the chemical energy got stored in your blood and fat.  When you needed to put it out somewhere, you moved it into your muscles, and they converted it into mechanical energy.  Then you used the mechanical energy to exert forces.  Today, you used the original 55,000 joules to lift the flagstone, and NOW that energy is in the flagstone, 25 meters up off the ground !

Part 1: Use complete sentences to explain why solar winds occur. Part 2: Give two examples in which solar winds impact Earth.
Troyanec [42]

Part 1

When the solar atmosphere accumulates a lot of magnetic energy to a point that cannot accumulate more, all that magnetic energy is suddenly released, and with it, a lot of radiation. So much, that in fact it covers all of the electromagnetic spectrum; from radio waves to gamma rays. That burst of radiation is called a solar flare. In a single solar flare the amount of radiation released is millions of times greater than all the nuclear bombs in the face if the earth exploding together. Lucky for us, most of the high-energy radiation dissipates before reaching the Earth, and the radiation that do reach us, is deflected by the Earth’s magnetic field.

Part 2

1.  Not all the radiation of solar flares that reach the Earth is deflected by its magnetic field; some of them reach us and charges the upper atmosphere with ionized particles. Those particles react with the gases in the atmosphere and produce a light; that light is what we call Auroras borealis or southern nights; One the most beautiful natural spectacles in earth, who thought Auroras begin their lives as deadly solar flares.

2.  Solar flares contain a lot of high-energy radiation that is extremely dangerous for our electronic devices; when they reach the Earth, they can damage sensible electronics like satellites. A very powerful solar flare could even damage all the electronic devices on the surface of the Earth.

A block of mass 8 m can move without friction
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Let M1 = 8 kg and M2 = 34 kg

F = M a = (M1 + M2) a

F = M2 g     the net force accelerating the system

M2 g = (M1 + M2) a

a = M2 / (M1 + M2) g = 34 / (42) g = .81 g = 7.9 m/s^2
