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>

Which two factors does the power of a machine depend on?
lianna [129]

The power of a machine depend on two factors are work and time.

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

In science, power defined as the amount of work done in a unit time. i.e. delivering work in a rate of time or energy supply, expressed in input of work or transmitted energy divided by the time interval (t) or W/t.

Example: Some work can be done in the long run with a low-power engine or in a short time with a motor with high performance. The equation for power can be given as

              Power\ (in\ watts) =\frac{\text { work (joules) }}{\text { time (seconds) }}

              P=\frac{W}{t}

A student pulls horizontally on a 12 kg box, which then moves horizontally with an acceleration of 0.2 m/s^2. If the student use
polet [3.4K]
The net force of the object is equal to the force applied minus the force of friction. 
                         Fnet = ma = F - Ff
                           12 kg x 0.2 m/s² = 15 N - Ff
The value of Ff is 12.6 N. This force is equal to the product of the normal force which is equal to the weight in horizontal surface and the coefficient of friction.
                             Ff = 12.6 N = k(12 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
The value of k is equal to 0.107.

In a race, Usain Bolt accelerates at
jeka94

Answer:

65.87 s

Explanation:

For the first time,

Applying

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance

From the question,

Given:  u = 0 m/s (from rest), a = 1.99 m/s², s = 60 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

v² = 0²+2(1.99)(60)

v² = 238.8

v = √238.8

v = 15.45 m/s

Therefore, time taken for the first 60 m is

t = (v-u)/a............ Equation 2

t = (15.45-0)/1.99

t = 7.77 s

For the final 40 meter,

t = (v-u)/a

Given: v = 0 m/s(decelerates), u = 15.45 m/s, a = -0.266 m/s²

Substitute into the equation above

t = (0-15.45)/-0.266

t = 58.1 seconds

Hence total time taken to cover the distance

T = 7.77+58.1

T = 65.87 s
