Answer: 24.2

Explanation:

Given that:

Time taken for sound travel = 0.02 seconds

Speed of traveling sound wave = 1210 m/s

Depth of pond = ?

Recall that speed is obtained by dividing the distance covered (depth travelled) by the time taken.

Hence, speed = (depth travelled / time taken)

1210 m/s = depth travelled / 0.02 seconds

Depth travelled = 1210 m/s x 0.02 seconds

Depth travelled = 24.2 m

Thus, the pond is 24.2 metres deep

Answer:

Consider frames X and Y:

If X sees Y moving to his right then Y must see X moving to his right.

If this is not true then one can choose one frame over the other ( a favored frame and this is not allowed)

A stone is tied to a 0.85-meter cord. it is swung in a circle at a constant rate of 6.0 m/s. what is the centripetal acceleratio

Andrei [34K]

Answer:42.4m/s^2

Explanation:

Velocity(v)=6m/s

Radius(r)=0.85 meter

Centripetal acceleration=(v x v) ➗ r

Centripetal acceleration=(6 x 6) ➗ 0.85

Centripetal acceleration=36 ➗ 0.85

Centripetal acceleration=42.4

How fast does a 2 MeV fission neutron travel through a reactor core?

Artemon [7]

Answer:

The answer is $1.956 \times 10^7\ m/s$

Explanation:

The amount of energy is not enough to apply the relativistic formula of energy $E = mc^2$ , so the definition of energy in this case is

$E = \frac{1}{2}m v^2$ .

From the last equation,

$v= \sqrt{2E/m}$

where

$E = 2 MeV = 3.204 \times 10^{-13} J$

and the mass of the neutron is

$m = 1.675\times 10^{-27}\ Kg$ .

Then

$v = 1.956 \times 10^7\ m/s$

the equivalent of $0.065$ the speed of light.

(1 point) A projectile is fired from ground level with an initial speed of 600 m/sec and an angle of elevation of 30 degrees. Us

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

(a) The range of the projectile is 31,813.18 m

(b) The maximum height of the projectile is 4,591.84 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed of the projectile, u = 600 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 30⁰

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

(a) The range of the projectile in meters;

$R = \frac{u^2sin \ 2\theta}{g} \\\\R = \frac{600^2 sin(2\times 30^0)}{9.8} \\\\R = \frac{600^2 sin (60^0)}{9.8} \\\\R = 31,813.18 \ m$

(b) The maximum height of the projectile in meters;

$H = \frac{u^2 sin^2\theta}{2g} \\\\H = \frac{600^2 (sin \ 30)^2}{2\times 9.8} \\\\H = \frac{600^2 (0.5)^2}{19.6} \\\\H = 4,591.84 \ m$

$v^2 = u^2 + 2gh\\\\v^2 = 600^2 + (2 \times 9.8)(4,591.84)\\\\v^2 = 360,000 + 90,000.064\\\\v = \sqrt{450,000.064} \\\\v = 670.82 \ m/s$
