A person hears the echo of his own voice from a distant hill after 2 seconds. How far away is the person from the hill, if the s

peed of sound is 330m/s ? ​

Answer: 330 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound V is defined as the distance traveled by the sound wave d in a especific time t:  

V=\frac{d}{t}  

Where:  

V=330 m/s is the speed of sound  

t=\frac{2 s}{2}=1 s is half the time the sound wave travels since the person speaks, the sound wave hits the hill and then returns to the person again  as an echo

d is the distance between the person and the hill

So, we have to find d:

d=Vt

d=(330 m/s)(1 s)

Finally:

d=330 m

A point charge of 6.8 C moves at 6.5 × 104 m/s at an angle of 15° to a magnetic field that has a field strength of 1.4 T.
Gekata [30.6K]

As per the question, the point charge is given as [q] = 6.8 C

The velocity of the charged particle [v] = 6.5*10^{4}\ m/s

The magnetic field [B] = 1.4 T

The angle made between magnetic field and velocity [\theta] = 15 degree.

We are asked to calculate the magnetic force experienced by the charged  particle.

The magnetic force experienced by the charged particle is calculated as -

Magnetic force \vec F=q(\ \vec V \times \vec B)

                        i.e F = =qVBsin\theta

                                   =6.8*6.5*10^{4}*1.4*sin15

                                   =61.88*10^{4}sin15

                                   =61.88*10^4*0.2588\ N

                                   =16.016*10^4\ N

                                   =1.6*10^5\ N

Hence, the force experienced by the charged particle is C i.e 1.6*10^5 N

Why are asteroids and comets important to our understanding of solar system history?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

It is widely believed among the space scientist that Asteroids and comets are the remains of the material that has formed our solar system. By studying Asteroids and comets can get information pre era of our solar system, because the asteroids came being at the start of the solar system. The chemical composition, the size and the process of formation of proto stellar nebula. The impact of collision of asteroid on Earth lead to the extinction of Dinosaurs. Previously it was believed that water come on Earth because of comets, but later proved that water come into being on Earth because of Asteroids.

A merry-go-round at a playground is a circular platform that is mounted parallel to the ground and can rotate about an axis that
julsineya [31]

Since angular speed is persistent, v/r is constant.
Where:

 v is tangential speed; and

 r is distance from axis.

 

Then equate v/r in both cases to get v in the second case.

Hence, speed = 2.2 x 2.1 / 1.4 meters

= 3.3 meters / seconds

 

Alternative solution would be:

w = 2.2 / 1.4 = 1.57

v = rw = 2.1 x 1.57 = 3.3 meters / seconds
