A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 37 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splas

h 2.92 s later, what was the initial speed given to the rock (in m/s)? Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. m/s (b) What If? If the temperature near the cliff suddenly falls to 0°C, reducing the speed of sound to 331 m/s, what would the initial speed of the rock have to be (in m/s) for the soccer player to hear the sound of the splash 2.92 s after kicking the rock?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em><u>(a). 16.741 m/s</u></em>

<em><u>(b). 15.75 m/s</u></em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In the question,

Height of the cliff, h = 37 m

Time taken to reach the sound to us = 2.92 s

Speed of the sound in air at room temperature = 343 m/s

Now,

Let us say the speed of the ball = u m/s

So,

Time taken by the ball to reach at the bottom, t is given by,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 37}{9.8}}\\t=2.747\,s

So,

Splash is heard after = 2.92 s

So,

<u>Time taken by sound to travel the shortest distance along the hypotenuse of the triangle</u> thus formed is,

t = 2.92 - 2.747

t = 0.172 s

Now,

Distance traveled by sound is given by,

Distance=343\times 0.172\\Distance=59.02\,m

So,

In the triangle using the Pythagoras Theorem,

Horizontal distance traveled is,

D=\sqrt{59.02^{2}-37^{2}}\\D=45.99\,m

So,

Speed of throwing of ball is given by,

Distance=Speed\times Time\\45.99=u\times 2.747\\u=16.741\,m/s

<em><u>Therefore, the speed of the ball = 16.741 m/s.</u></em>

(b).

If,

Speed of sound = 331 m/s

So,

<u>Distance traveled by sound</u> is,

Distance=331\times 0.172\\Distance=56.932\,m

So,

Distance traveled in the horizontal by ball is,

Distance=\sqrt{56.932^{2}-37^{2}}\\Distance=43.269\,m

So,

Speed of the ball thrown is given by,

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\Speed=\frac{43.269}{2.747}\\Speed=15.75\,m/s

<em><u>Therefore, the speed of the ball = 15.75 m/s.</u></em>

What is the metric unit of force? kg kg/cm^3 kg/cm^2 N
Feliz [49]
Force is found by multiplying mass (kg) and acceleration (m/s^2), so the metric unit of force is kg*m/s^2 or N (newtons)

Design an experimental set up to show that white light is made up of different colours of light​
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Issac Newton was the first to use a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of sunlight. He tried to split the colours of the spectrum of white light further by using another similar prism. However, he could not get any more colours. He then placed a second identical prism in an inverted position with respect to the first as shown.

This allowed all the colours of the spectrum to pass through the second prism. He found a beam of white light emerging from the other side of the second prism. This observation gave Newton the idea that the sunlight is made-up of seven colours.

A diver can change his rotational inertia by drawing his arms andlegs close to his body in the tuck position. After he leaves th
NeX [460]

Answer:

3.14946 rad/s

Explanation:

I_i = Intial moment of inertia

I_f = Final moment of inertia

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity

\omega_f = Final angular velocity = \dfrac{2}{1.33}\times 2\pi\ rad/s

\dfrac{I_f}{I_i}=\dfrac{1}{3}

In this system the angular momentum is conserved

L_i=L_f\\\Rightarrow I_i\omega_i=I_f\omega_f\\\Rightarrow \omega_i=\dfrac{I_f\omega_f}{I_i}\\\Rightarrow \omega_i=\dfrac{1\times \dfrac{2}{1.33}\times 2\pi}{3}\\\Rightarrow \omega_i=3.14946\ rad/s

The angular velocity when the diver left the board is 3.14946 rad/s
