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

wariber [46]

Answer:

a) ω = 9.86 rad/s

b) ac = 194. 4 m/s²

c) minimum coefficient of static friction, µs = 19.8

Explanation:

a) angular speed, ω = 2πf, where f is frequency of revolution

1 rps = 6.283 rad/s, π = 3.142

ω = 2 * 3.14 * 0.25 * 6.28

ω = 9.86 rad/s

b) centripetal acceleration, a = rω²

where r is radius in meters; r = 200 cm or 2 m

a = 2 * 9.86²

a = 194. 4 m/s²

c) µs = frictional force/ normal force

frictional force = centripetal force = ma; where a is centripetal acceleration

normal force = mg; where g = 9.8 m/s²

µs = ma/mg = a/g

µs = 194.4 ms⁻²/9.8 ms⁻²

c) minimum coefficient of static friction, µs = 19.8

A 1980-kg car is traveling with a speed of 15.5 m/s. What is the magnitude of the horizontal net force that is required to bring
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: 6067.5 N

Explanation:

Work = Change in Energy. To start, all of the energy is kinetic energy, so find the total KE using: KE = 1/2(m)(v^2). Plug in 1980 kg for m and 15.5 m/s for v and get KE = 237847.5 J.

Now, plug this in for work: Work = Force * Distance; so, divide work by distance to get 6067.5 N.

Vanyuwa [196]

Since bulb is connected in the closed circuit at the position of D

as well as switch B is also closed in that position so the current will flow through the bulb and bulb will glow in that position

So the most appropriate correct option will be

D. The light bulb will be on
