Answer:

3 m/s squared

Explanation:

The formula you use is Vf= Vi + at. You rearrange it to a= Vf - Vi/t. The Vf is 27m/s. The Vi is 0m/s and the t is 9s. Cross out Vi since it’s zero and you’re left with a= 27m/s divided by 9s, which equals 3

Answer:

The correct option is;

C. 1,715 m

Explanation:

We are given the information from the group of teen at the City edge

Time of arrival of explosion sound = 5 s after sighting

Time of sighting explosion = 5 s before hearing the boom

Speed of sound in air ≈ 343 m/s

Speed of light = 299,792 km/s

Therefore, distance covered by sound in 5 seconds is given by the following equation;

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

$\therefore 343 \ m/s= \frac{Distance}{5 \, s}$

Hence Distance = 343 m/s × 5 s = 1715 m

To check, we compare the time it would take for the light to cover 1715 m

That is $Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed} = \frac{1715}{299,792,000} = 0.00000572 \, s$ which is instantaneous hence the distance can be approximated by the time duration for the speed of sound.
