Answer: 99.1 seconds

Explanation: You know that the total distance is 34km, and the speed of the sound is 343m/s.

Now, the total time that takes to something with a given velocity, to reach a distance D, is:

T = D/v

where D = 34km and v = 343m/s

Now, here we have different units, so we must convert the kilomeres into meters, this can be done as: 1km = 1000m then, 34km = 1000*34m = 34000m

Then the total time is:

T = 34000m/343m/s = 99.1 seconds

Answer:

99 s

Explanation:

distance = rate × time

34000 m = (343 m/s) t

t = 99 s

What is the difference between Weight and Mass?<br>Please give a fair amount of detail!
Sidana [21]
The <em>mass</em> of an object is a measure of how much stuff it's made of.  So it's
a property of the object, like the object's length or color.  It doesn't depend on
where the object is located right now, or on what else is around it..

The <em>weight</em> of an object is the measure of the gravitational force between it
and something else.  The strength of the force depends on the size of both
masses, and also on how far apart they are.  So the weight does depend on
where the object is located right now, and on what else is around it.

I think that sums it up fairly well.

what are three activities in your everyday life that involve electromagnetic energy? and explain what type of electromagnetic en
mihalych1998 [28]

1). While I'm driving the car, I keep my eyes pointed out the front window,

so that LIGHT WAVES coming straight in through the front window get into

them. Using this process, I'm able to SEE what's in front of me, so that I don't

drive straight into it.


2). Also while I'm driving the car, I usually have the radio on, and I tune it

to a frequency where the RADIO WAVES that it responds to are being

modulated by people who are either talking or else playing classical music.


3). Before I leave the house on most days, I take a small container of

frozen Irish oatmeal out of the freezer, and I load it into the big box

above the stove, where MICROWAVE ENERGY thaws it, and warms

it to a nice eating temperature.


3A). When I arrive at my job, I usually do things that are also associated

in some way with MICROWAVE energy, since I work as a microwave

system design engineer. Most of the time it's just paperwork, but there

ARE times when I work with an actual radio that's either generating or

detecting real microwave energy, and either sending it up to, or receiving

it down from, a big dish antenna on a radio tower. Those are the days that

I like the best.

The desert sand is very hot during the day and very cold at night. What does this tell you about its specific heat capacity?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer: The specific heat capacity is very low.

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of a body is defined as the heat energy required by a body to cause a unit change in its temperature. The value is over low that is why it is easier for the desert sand to easily get very hot during the day. Conversely, it is very easy for the desert sand to lose it's heat a cool breeze pass over it in the night making it very cold in the night. This value also defines how long the desert sand can retain heat. Therefore, the desert sand has a low specific heat capacity.

How can you say metre cube is a derived unit​
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The newton (lowercase n!) is a derived unit because its definition consists of multiplication of three defined base units and nothing else. Its meaning is thus derived, not independently defined.
