The answer should be false because it doesnt say if the car is traveling at constant speed. The cars speed can be various so that in total for 2 hours that it travels it passes 80 miles. If however it actually traveled at constant speed than the answer is true.
Answer: 49.5 m
Explanation:
The speed of sound
is given by a relation between the distance
and the time
:
(1)
Where:
is the speed of sound in air (taking into account this value may vary according to the medium the sound wave travels)
since we are told th hunter was initially 412.5 meters from the cliff and then moves a distance
towards the cliff
Since the time given as data (2.2 s) is the time it takes to the sound wave to travel from the hunter's gun and then go back to the position where the hunter is after being reflected by the cliff
Having this information clarified, let's isolate
and then find
:
(2)
(3)
Finding
:
This is the distance at which the hunter is from the cliff.
I would think the answer would be c
The
speed of sound depends on any form of matter or medium in which sound travels
through it and depends on the amount of molecular collisions. Sound travels slowest in gas in the form of steam
because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart making
it harder for the
energy of vibrations hit the particles and make sound.
Moreover,
sound travelling through solids like ice is much faster because the particles
are closer together so the sound waves do not have to travel that far making the
number of collisions greater and sound spread more easily.
-Geographic north and south poles are determined by the earth's spin.
-Magnetic north and south is determined by the direction a compass points.
