Answer:

350 m/s

Explanation:

In order for Boy to hear the sound, the sound  has to travel from his hands to the cliff, and then BACK to him from the cliff to his ears.

So the sound has to travel (<em>2</em> x 420m) = 840 m.

Speed = (distance) / (time)

Speed = (840 m) / (2.4 sec)

<em>Speed = 350 m/s</em>

The 4.5 cm long second hand on a watch rotates smoothly. What is its angular velocity? What is the speed of the tip of the hand?
Vlada [557]
Angular velocity means how many radians/degrees is this hand passing by every second.
First, you realize it goes through a whole revolution (2\pi in radians) in 60 seconds.
This means for every second, it passes by:
\frac{2 \pi }{60 s} = 0.105  \frac{rad}{sec}

For the next part, you need to know this equation:
Tangential velocity=Angular velocity x radius (meters)
velocity=0.105 \frac{rad}{sec} *0.045m
velocity=0.004725  \frac{meters}{sec}

A ball is dropped from a height of 80m. The time, in seconds, it takes to reach the ground is:__________.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

4.04 s

Explanation:

h = vi + 1/2 a t ^2

HERE  h = 80 m , vi = 0 , a =9.81 m/s^2

80 = 0 + 1/2 × 9.81 × t ^2

80 = 4.905 t^2

t^2 = 80/4.905

t ^2 = 16.30988

t = square root of 16.30988

t =  4.0385 s

t = 4.04 s

How does energy transfer by waves differ from energy transfer by moving object
vodomira [7]
Energy transfer by waves: two primary modes = (electromagnetic waves, compression/transverse waves propagating through a medium)

1) electromagnetic waves:

Using a particle model for the wave (photons for light), energy transfer is similar to that by discrete moving object -- particles carry the energy from one place to another in the absence of a medium.

Energy delivery: discrete moving object uses inertia and momentum to transfer the energy from itself to the target. Photons are massless, so the energy delivery mechanism must be different.

2) compression/transverse waves propagating through a medium:

Energy passes through the medium with little to no net flow of the medium itself. In transverse water waves, when the energy wave passes by, to first order, the water particles move in vertical circular paths. This is different from energy transfer by a moving object in that the moving object must displace itself to the target position in order to deliver the energy -- resulting in a net flow of object material.
