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.

xenn [34]

The magnitude of your displacement can be equal to the distance you covered, or it can be less than the distance you covered.  But it can never be greater than the distance you covered.

This is because displacement is a straight line, whereas distance can be a straight line, a squiggly line, a zig-zag line, a line with loops in it, a line with a bunch of back-and-forths in it, or any other kind of line.

The straight line is always the shortest path between two points.

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

  • on the moon, they will fall at the time
  • on earth, the coin will fall faster to the ground

Explanation:

A coin and feather dropped in a moon experience the same acceleration due to gravity as small as 1.625 m/s², and because of the absence of air resistance both will fall at the same rate to the ground.

If the same coin and feather are dropped in the earth, they will experience the same acceleration due to gravity of 9.81 m/s² and because of the presence of air resistance, the heavier object (coin) will be pulled faster to the ground by gravity than the lighter object (feather).
