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

A jet engine gets its thrust by taking in air, heating and compressing it, and

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

$F=ma=20\ Kg\ 400\ m/s^2=8,000\ Nw$

Explanation:

Thrust is known as a reaction force which appears when a system expels or accelerates mass in one specific direction. If we know the acceleration and the mass of the air expelled by the jet engine, we can compute the thrust .

The acceleration is calculated by using the dynamics formula

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

The values are

$v_f=500\ m/s,\ v_o=100\ m/s,\ t=1\ sec$

$\displaystyle a=\frac{500-100}{1}=400\ m/s^2$

The thrust is

$F=ma=20\ Kg\ 400\ m/s^2=8,000\ Nw$

Answer:

D) shrivel up, since the atmosphere exerts more force on the can as it cools.

Explanation:

As the water in the can is boiled the can gets heated up and contains hot vapour and gases which are rare in density and are in their expanded state. In this state when the can is sealed tightly such that no air leaks in or out of the can. When the temperature of the can drops, the gases shrink in volume and the pressure inside the can become less than the pressure of the atmosphere which leads to shriveling of the can.
