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.

Can someone help me?
Alik [6]

Answer:

Resultant = 3.05N

Explanation:

r =  \sqrt{{5}^{2} + 5^{2} - 2(5)(5) \cos(120) }

r =  \sqrt{25 + 25 - 50(0.8142)}

r =  \sqrt{50 - 40.71}  =  \sqrt{9.29}

r = 3.05
