A hunter is standing on flat ground between two vertical cliffs that are directly opposite one another. He is closer to one clif

f than to the other. He fires a gun and, after a while, hears three echoes. The second echo arrives 1.6 s after the first, and the third echo arrives 1.1 s after the second. Assuming that the speed of sound is 343 m/s and that there are no reflections of sound from the ground, find the distance between the cliffs.?

Answer:

652 m

Explanation:

Let the distance between the hunter and the closer cliff be d1 and the distance from the hunter to the further cliff be d2.

Let t1 be the time taken by first echo after travelling distance d1 and return to hunter  

 t1=2d1/343      <em>where 343 is speed of sound in air. </em>

Similarly let <em>t2</em> be the time taken by second echo after travelling distance <em>d2</em> and return to hunter  

<em>t2=2</em>d2/343

The second echo arrives 1.6 second after first and hence  

t2-  t1=1.6

2d2/343-2d1/343=1.6

d2-d1=274.4

Let t3 be the time taken by third echo, which arises from sound of second echo which is reflected from closer cliff.  

t3=2d1/343

d1=189 m                                               given t3=1.1 sec

The equation first becomes as  

d2-189=274.4

        =463 m

thus the distance between cliff is determined as

d1+d2=189+463

         =652 m

Account for each of the following properties of solids: (a) the definite volume, (b) the relatively high density, (c) the extrem
9966 [12]

Answer:

<em>a. The molecules of solid are closely packed together</em>

<em>b. particles are so close, hence a high density</em>

<em>c.rate of diffusion is slow due to strong force of attraction between molecules of solid.</em>

Explanation:

(a)The molecules of solids are very much packed together hence very hard to compress and the force of attraction between molecules is strong hence very hard to expand . For this reason solids occupy a definite volume.

b. Because the molecules of solid is more closer than those of liquid and gas. Solids have a much higher density, hence a higher relative density. Density = mass/volume. for solids a huge amount of mass occupies a low volume space. A low volume and huge mass will result in high density

c. The diffusion of solids is very slow due to the strong force of attraction between the molecules of solids. However this diffusion can be made faster by the application of heat. This will increase the kinetic energy of the solid molecules.

A World-class sprinter can reach a top speed of about 11.5 m/s in the first 18.0 m of a race. What is the average acceleration o
irina [24]

Answer

a = 3.674 m / s ^ 2


t = 3.13 s

Using the kinematic equations for the movement we have:


h(t) = P_{0} + Vot + \frac{1}{2}at ^ 2 (1)


V_{f} = V_{0} + at (2)


Where:


P_{0} = initial position


V_{0}} = initial velocity


a = acceleration


t = time in seconds


V_{f} = final speed


We know:


P_{0}=0


V_{0}= 0

h = 18 m


V_{f} = 11.5\frac{m}{s}

  So:

 From (2) we have that: t =\frac{V_{f}}{a}


t =\frac{11.5}{a}

From (1) we have to:


h (t) = 0.5at ^ 2\\h = 18 = 0.5at ^ 2

Then we clear "a" to find the acceleration.


\frac{36}{t^2} = a\\a = \frac{36}{(\frac{11.5}{a})^2} \\\\a =\frac{11.5^2}{36}\\a = 3.674 m / s ^2

Then, the time it takes to reach this speed is:


t =\frac{V_{f}}{a}\\t =\frac{11.5}{3.674}\\t = 3.13 s
