Answer:

Width = 680 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must know the speed of sound in the air, conducting an internet search, we find that this speed has a value of v = 340 [m/s].

We apply the following kinematic equation, which relates space to time, to define speed.

v = x /t

where:

x = distance [m]

t = time [s]

v = velocity [m/s]

Now replacing:

x = 340 * 4

x = 1360 [m]

But the width of the cannon is calculated when the sound wave hits the wall of the canyon, so this width is half the distance.

Width = 1360 / 2 = 680 [m]

A particle moves along a straight line with equation of motion s = f(t), where s is measured in meters and t in seconds. Find th
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The velocity of the particle = -1.92 m/s

The speed of the particle = 5.72 m/s

Explanation:

Given equation of motion;

f(t) = 18 \ + \ \frac{48}{t} \ + \ 1

Velocity is defined as the change in displacement with time.

V = \frac{df(t)}{dt} = -\frac{48}{t^2} \\\\at \ t = 5 \ s\\\\V = -\frac{48}{5^2} = \frac{-48}{25} = - 1.92 \ m/s

The distance traveled by the particle in 5 s:

s = f(5) = 18 + \frac{48}{5} + 1\\\\s= 28.6 \ m

The speed of the particle when t = 5s

Speed = \frac{28.6}{5} = 5.72 \ m/s

I have multiple questions!
UNO [17]

I'm not sure about the rest but for question 2:

A theory is an attempt to come up with a big picture of all we know so far. It also drives future research as people do experiments to see if what the theory predicts actually happens. When experiments don’t support the theory, you have to change the theory and try again. That’s how science works. We come up with a “best guess” (theory), and then do research to test it’s accuracy. As we discover contradictions, we adjust the theory to take those into account, and then start testing the validity of the new theory.
