Answer:

d = 375 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound is constant in any medium, therefore we can use the uniform motion relationships

          v = x / t

          x = v t

In this case it indicates that the time since the sound is emitted and received is t = 0.50 s, in this time the sound traveled a round trip distance

           x = 2d

          2d = v t

          d = v t/2

     

let's calculate

          d = 1500 0.5 / 2

          d = 375 m

What is the relationship between balancing equations and the law of conservation of matter
harkovskaia [24]
Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.

Sound waves travel at the rate of 343 m/s at 20°C. If a man standing 450 meters away from the wall of a canyon yells, “Hello,” h
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

2.62seconds

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the ratio of the distance covered by a body with respect to time.

Speed v = Distance (s)/Time (t)

For a traveling sound wave, the distance between the source of a sound and the reflector is '2S'.

Speed v = 2 × distance (S)/Time (T)

V = 2S/t

2S = vt

Given speed of the wave = 342m/s

Distance covered = 450m

t = 2S/v

t = (2×450)/343

t = 900/343

t = 2.62seconds

It will take him 2.62seconds for him to hear his own voice echo off of the wall.

Do rolling down a grassy hill has kinetic energy or potential energy
Ann [662]

If you're moving, then you have kinetic energy.

If you're not at the bottom yet, then you still have
some potential energy left.

A fire engine is moving south at 35 m/s while blowing its siren at a frequency of 400 Hz.
vodomira [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other. Mathematically it can be described as

f_d= f_s \frac{(v+v_d)}{(v-v_s)}

Here,

f_d=frequency received by detector

f_s=frequency of wave emitted by source

v_d=velocity of detector

v_s=velocity of source

v=velocity of sound wave

Replacing we have that,

f_d = 400(\frac{(343+18)}{(343-35)})

f_d=422 Hz

Therefore the frequencty that will hear the passengers is 422Hz
