Answer:

2.62seconds

Explanation:

Echo occurs when sound reflects and causing a delay before getting to the listener.

Let x be the distance from between the source and the reflector

t be the time taken for the echo to occur

v be the velocity of sound in air.

Using the relationship 2x = vt

t = 2x/v

Given x = 450metres

v = 343m/s

t = 2(450)/343

t = 900/343

t = 2.62seconds

It will take 2.62 seconds for him to hear his own voice echo off of the wall.

Jobisdone [24]

Answer: The correct answer is option b.

Explanation: We are given that the rocket is at rest initially final velocity is 445m/s.

The acceleration of the rocket is 99.0m/s^2

To calculate the distance of rocket, we use third equation of motion, which is:

v^2-u^2=2as

where, v = final velocity = 445m/s

u = initial velocity = 0m/s

a = acceleration = 99m/s^2

s = distance = ? m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

(445)^2-(0)^2=2(99)s\\\\s=1\times 10^3meters

What type force is your answer in number 4
Alexandra [31]
  • When an object is stationary all the forces acting on the object comes in equilibrium with each other.

  • The forces acting on a stationary object are:
  1. Normal force (upwards)
  2. Gravitational force (downwards)
  3. push force
  4. friction force

  • All these forces cancel out each other.
