Answer: 20.4 miles

Explanation:

Here we need to use the equation:

Velocity = Distance/Time.

Initially we have that he can travel 30 miles in 2 hours, so the velocity is:

V = 30mi/2h = 15mph

Now, we reduce the velocity by 3 mph, so the new velocity is 15mph - 3 mph = 12mph.

Now we want to know the distance traveled in 1.7 hours with this velocity, this is.

Velocity*Time = Distance

12mi/h*1.7h = 20.4 miles

The sound from a single source can reach point O by two different paths. One path is 20.0 m long and the second path is 21.0 m l

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

minimum frequency = 170 Hz

Explanation:

given data

One path long = 20 m

second path long = 21 m

speed of sound = 340 m/s

solution

we get here destructive phase that is path difference of minimum $\frac{\lambda}{2}$

here λ is the wavelength of the wave

so path difference will be

21 - 20 = $\frac{\lambda}{2}$

λ = 2 m

and

velocity that is express as

velocity = frequency × wavelength .............1

frequency = $\frac{340}{2}$

minimum frequency = 170 Hz

A sailboat is traveling to the right when a gust of wind causes the boat to accelerate leftward at 2.5m/s2 for 4s. After t

Ber [7]

Answer:

+7.0 m/s

Explanation:

Let's take rightward as positive direction.

So in this problem we have:

a = -2.5 m/s^2 acceleration due to the wind (negative because it is leftward)

t = 4 s time interval

v = -3.0 m/s is the final velocity (negative because it is leftward)

We can use the following equation:

v = u + at

Where u is the initial velocity

We want to find u, so if we rearrange the equation we find:

$u = v - at = (-3.0 m/s) - (-2.5 m/s^2)(4 s)=+7.0 m/s$

and the positive sign means the initial direction was rightward.

For a home sound system, two small speakers are located so that one is 52 cm closer to the listener than the other. What is the

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The first frequency of audible sound in the speed sound is

f = 662 Hz

Explanation:

vs = 344 m/s

x = 52 cm * 1 / 100m = 0.52m

The wave length is the distance between the peak and peak so

d = 2x

d = 2*0.52 m

d = 1.04 m

So the frequency in the speed velocity is

f = 1 / T

f = vs / x = 344 m/s / 0.52m

f ≅ 662 Hz
