A girl is standing 150m in front of a tall building, fires a shot with starting pistol. A boy standing 350m behind her, hears tw

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

The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °c. at higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be
Scilla [17]
   <span> The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °C. At higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be.....
a) higher, because the altitude is greater.
b) lower, because temperatures are lower.
c) the same, because water always boils at 100 °C.
d) higher, because there are fewer water molecules in the air.
==> e) lower, because the atmospheric pressure is lower.
--------------------------
Water boils at a lower temperature on top of a mountain because there is less air pressure on the molecules.

If the Earth and distant stars were stationary (motionless) in space, what would we observe about the wavelength from these star
torisob [31]
There's no such thing as "stationary in space".  But if the distance
between the Earth and some stars is not changing, then (A) w<span>avelengths
measured here would match the actual wavelengths emitted from these
stars. </span><span>

</span><span>If a star is moving toward us in space, then (A) Wavelengths measured
would be shorter than the actual wavelengths emitted from that star.

</span>In order to decide what's actually happening, and how that star is moving, 
the trick is:  How do we know the actual wavelengths the star emitted ?

An escalator and an elevator can transport a person from one floor to the next. the escalator does it in 15 s and the elevator t
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The escalator does more work and the elevator has a greater power output.

Explanation:

The escalator does more work on the person because it is carrying them up. It also gives the person a chance to walk up the escalator making it a little more challenging than using just an elevator. The elevator has a greater power output because it can transport a person from one floor to another in just 10 seconds where as the escalator can do it in 15.

Hope this helps!

3. A concrete highway is built of slabs 12 m long (20o C). How wide should the expansion cracks between the slabs be (at 20o C)
lesantik [10]

Answer:

\Delta x=2.304\times 10^{-2}\ m=2.304\ cm is the minimum gap between the slabs

Explanation:

Given:

  • length of the concrete highway, l=12\ m
  • coefficient of thermal expansion, \alpha=12\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C^{-1}
  • range of temperature variation, (-30^{\circ}C\ to\ 50^{\circ}C) \Rightarrow \Delta T=80^{\circ}C

<u>Now form the equation of thermal expansion:</u>

\Delta l=l\times \alpha\times \Delta T

\Delta l=12\times (12\times 10^{-6})\times 80

\Delta l=1.152\times 10^{-2}\ m

Since each slab of the highway expands by the above length so the minimum gap between the slabs to prevent buckling:

\Delta x=2\times \Delta l

\Delta x=2\times( 1.152\times 10^{-2})

\Delta x=2.304\times 10^{-2}\ m=2.304\ cm is the minimum gap between the slabs

People, animals, and all matter on Earth are
NemiM [27]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

To answer this, we can use process of elimination.

B: This question states that all matter has gravity. This is not correct. All matter is *effected* by gravity, but we do not have gravity inside of us.

C: If this were the case, we would all be floating off into space.

D: Same issue as question B.
