Answer:

480.2 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Speed of sound (v) = 343 m/s.

Time (t) = 2.8 s

Distance (x) of the cliff =?

The distance of the cliff from the woman can be obtained as follow:

v = 2x /t

343 = 2x /2.8

Cross multiply

2x = 343 × 2.8

2x = 960.4

Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 2

x = 960.4/2

x = 480.2 m

Therefore, the cliff is 480.2 m away from the woman.

#1

As we are increasing the frequency in the simulation the wavelength is decreasing

So if speed remains constant then wavelength and frequency depends inversely on each other

If we are in boat and and moving over very small wavelengths then these small wavelength will be encountered continuously by the boat in short interval of times

#2

As we are changing the amplitude in the simulation there is no change in the speed frequency and wavelength.

So amplitude is independent of all these parameter

Amplitude of wave will decide the energy of wave

So light of greater intensity is the light of larger amplitude

#3

In our daily life we deal with two waves

1 sound waves

2 light waves

Liam throws a water balloon horizontally at 8.2 m/s out of a window 18 m from the ground.
Alecsey [184]

Time taken by the water balloon to reach the bottom will be given as

h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

here we know that

h = 18 m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

now by the above formula

18 = \frac{1}{2}*9.8* t^2

18 = 4.9 t^2

t = 1.92 s

now in the same time interval we can say the distance moved by it will be

d = v_x * t

d = 8.2 * 1.92 = 15.7 m

so it will fall at a distance 15.7 m from its initial position

a container of water is knocked off a 10.0 meter high ledge with a horizontal velocity of 1.00 meters/second. calculate the time
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1.43 s

Explanation:

The time it takes for the container to reach the ground is determined only by the vertical motion of the container, which is a free-fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion with a constant acceleration of g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground.

The vertical distance covered by an object in free fall is given by

S=ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where

u = 0 is the initial vertical speed

t is the time

a= g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

since u=0, it can be rewritten as

S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

And substituting S=10.0 m, we can solve for t, to find the duration of the fall:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(10.0 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=1.43 s
