Answer:

Time = 0.317 seconds.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 1.65km to meters = 1.65 * 1000 = 1650 meters

We know that the speed of sound in steel is equal to 5200m/s

To find the time to hear the sound of the whistle;

Time = distance/speed

Substituting into the equation, we have

Time = 1650/5200

Time = 0.317 seconds.

Therefore, it will take him 0.317 seconds to hear the sound of the whistle.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

<em>17 m/s west</em>

Explanation:

Runner 1 has velocity = 10 m/s west

runner 2 has velocity = 7 m/s east

From the frame of reference of runner 2, we can imagine runner 2 as standing still, and runner 1 moving away from him, towards the west with their combined velocity of

velocity = 10 m/s + 7 m/s = <em>17 m/s west</em>

2. Superman is able to fly at an average velocity of 355 m/s. If he begins at a position of
lesya [120]

Answer:

final position = 325 m

Explanation:

distance covered in 1 second = speed x time

                                                 = 355 m/s  x   1 s

                                                 = 355 m

∴  final position =  initial position + distance covered

                          =  - 30 m  +  355 m

                          =  325 m

a car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 65 km/h (18 m/s) in 12s. Find the distance the car travels during this time?
Vinil7 [7]

The car's speed was zero at the beginning of the 12 seconds,
and 18 m/s at the end of it.  Since the acceleration was 'uniform'
during that time, the car's average speed was (1/2)(0 + 18) = 9 m/s.

12 seconds at an average speed of 9 m/s  ==>  (12 x 9) = 108 meters .

==========================================

That's the way I like to brain it out.  If you prefer to use the formula,
the first problem you run into is:  You need to remember the formula !

The formula is        D = 1/2 a T²

                   Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (time in seconds)²

             Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
                                  =        (18 m/s)            /        (12 sec)
                                  =                      1.5 m/s² .

                  Distance  =  (1/2 x 1.5 m/s²) x (12 sec)²
                                  =       (0.75 m/s²)  x  (144 sec²)  =  108 meters .
