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 crate rests on the flatbed of a truck that is initially traveling at 15 m/s on a level road. The driver applies the brakes and

lina2011 [118]

Answer:0.3

Explanation:

Given

velocity of car=15 m/s

truck brought to halt in a distance of 38 m

We know

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Final velocity (v)=0

$0-(15)^2=2(a)(38)$

$a=\frac{-225}{76}$

$a=-2.96 m/s^2$ (deceleration)

Therefore minimum coefficient of friction \mu will be

$\mu \times g=a$

$\mu =\frac{a}{g}$

$\mu =\frac{2.96}{9.8}=0.302$

An ideal horizontal spring-mass system has a mass of 1.0 kg and a spring with constant 78 N/m. It oscillates with a period of 0.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

T = 0.71 seconds

Explanation:

Given data:

mass m = 1Kg, spring constant K = 78 N/m, time period of oscillation T = 0.71 seconds.

We have to calculate time period when this same spring-mass system oscillates vertically.

As we know

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{K} }$

This relation of time period is true under every orientation of the spring-mass system, whether horizontal, vertical, angled or inclined. Therefore, time period of the same spring-mass system oscillating vertically too remains the same.

Therefore, T = 0.71 seconds
