Answer:

300 m/s

Explanation:

The difference in time between the two bangs is 1 s.

Thus;

t2 - t1 = 1

We know that distance/time = speed.

Thus;

d2/v - d1/v = 1

Multiply through by v to get;

d2 - d1 = v

Where v is speed of sound in air.

d1 = 350 m

d2 = (150 × 2) + 350 = 650 m

Thus;

v = d2 - d1 = 650 - 350 = 300 m/s

Using the formula 1/2 (m x v2), what is the kinetic energy of a 4 kg rock falling through the air at 5 m/s
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

KE = 50J

Explanation:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} \\\\ KE = \frac{1}{2}(4)(5)^{2} \\\\ KE = 2(25) \\\\ KE = 50J

An electric current through neon gas produces several distinct wavelengths of visible light. What are the wavelengths (in nm) of
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a be grating element

a = 1 x 10⁻² / 11000

= .0909 x 10⁻⁵

= 909 x 10⁻⁹ m

for first order maxima , the condition is

a sinθ = λ where λ is wavelength

909 x 10⁻⁹ sin 49.67 = λ₁

λ₁ = 692.95  nm .

λ₂ = 909 x 10⁻⁹ sin 50.65

= 702.91 nm

λ₃ = 909 x 10⁻⁹ sin 52.06

= 716.88 nm

λ₄ = 909 x 10⁻⁹ sin 52.89

= 724.90 nm

692.95  nm ,  702.91 nm  , 716.88 nm , 724.90 nm .

I have a 3 cc piece of aluminum with a density of steel with a mass of 24.0 g. I cut it into 2 equal pieces. How has the density
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

What happens to the density of an object if the object is cut in half? ... The density remains the same because cutting the object in half will divide the mass & volume by the same amount. Also, the density of a substance remains the same no matter what size it is.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

7.0\cdot 10^{-13}C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged objects is

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

The force is attractive if the charges have opposite sign and repulsive if the charges have same sign.

In this problem, we have:

r=0.070 cm =7\cdot 10^{-4} m is the distance between the charges

q_1=q_2=q since the charges are identical

F=9.0\cdot 10^{-9}N is the force between the charges

Re-arranging the equation and solving for q, we find the charge on each drop:

F=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(9.0\cdot 10^{-9})(7\cdot 10^{-4})^2}{8.99\cdot 10^9}}=7.0\cdot 10^{-13}C
