Answer:

<em>The speed of sound at 20°C is 343.42 m/s.</em>

<em>You have to wait 1.75 seconds to hear the sound of the bat hitting the ball</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Speed of Sound</u>

The speed of sound is not constant with temperature. Generally speaking, the greater the temperature, the greater the speed of sound.

The approximate speed of sound in dry air at temperatures T near 0°C is calculated from:

\displaystyle v_{\mathrm {s} }=(331.3+0.606\cdot T )~~~\mathrm {m/s}

The air is at T=20°C, thus the speed of sound is:

\displaystyle v_{\mathrm {s} }=(331.3+0.606\cdot 20 )~~~\mathrm {m/s}

v_{\mathrm {s} }=343.42\ m/s

The speed of sound at 20°C is 343.42 m/s.

To calculate the time to hear the sound after the batter hits the ball, we use the formula of constant speed motion:

\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}

Where d is the distance and t is the time. Solving for t:

\displaystyle t=\frac{d}{v}

Substituting the values v=343.42 m/s and d=600 m:

\displaystyle t=\frac{600}{343.42}

t = 1.75 s

You have to wait 1.75 seconds to hear the sound of the bat hitting the ball

Can someone explain this to me please will give brainliest
KATRIN_1 [288]
The answer is A. for this, you have to set up a system of equations. the first one will be the area equation. since you know area=length x width, your equation will be LxW=50. the next equation is L=2W, since the length is two times the width. then, plug in 2W for the L in the other equation and you get 2W^2=50. divide by 2 and get W^2=25. square root both sides and you get W=5. plug back into the other equation to find L=10. Then, add the sides of the rectangle for the perimeter. 10+5+10+5=30.
