Sound travels at a speed of about 340m/s in the air. How long will it take an explosion to be heard from a distance of 20 miles

away ?

First convert the speed of sound from meters/second to miles/second:

340\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\cdot\dfrac{3.281\,\mathrm{ft}}{1\,\mathrm m}\cdot\dfrac{1\,\mathrm{mi}}{5280\,\mathrm{ft}}=0.21\,\dfrac{\mathrm{mi}}{\mathrm s}

Then the time it takes for the sound to travel 20 miles is

\dfrac{20\,\mathrm{mi}}{0.21\,\frac{\mathrm{mi}}{\mathrm s}}=95\,\mathrm s

What is the value of acceleration due to gravity at heght h=4re​
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: Formula for Acceleration Due to Gravity

These two laws lead to the most useful form of the formula for calculating acceleration due to gravity: g = G*M/R^2, where g is the acceleration due to gravity, G is the universal gravitational constant, M is mass, and R is distance.please mark as brainliest

a block of wood has a length of 4 cm a width of 5 cm and a height of 10 cm what is the volume of the wood
geniusboy [140]

Volume= Length X width X height.

Plug in the values for each and solve for the volume.

V= (L)(W)(H)

V=(4cm)(5cm)(10cm).

A block of ice at 0°C is added to a 150g aluminum calorimeter cup which holds 210 g of water at 12°C. If all but 2.0 g of ice me
Over [174]

Answer:

original mass of the block of ice is 38.34 gram

Explanation:

Given data

cup mass = 150 g

ice temperature = 0°C

water mass = 210 g

water temperature = 12°C

ice melt = 2 gram

to find out

solution

we know here

specific heat of aluminum is c = 0.900 joule/gram °C

Specific heat of water C =  4.186 joule/gram °C

so here temperature difference is dt =  12- 0 = 12°C

so here heat lost by water and cup are given by

heat lost  = cup mass × c  × dt + water  mass × C × dt

heat lost  = 150 × 0.900  × 12 + 210 × 4.186 × 12

heat lost  = 12168.72 J

so

mass of ice melt here = heat lost / latent heat of fusion

here we know latent heat of fusion = 334.88 joule/gram

so

mass of ice melt  =  12168.72 / 334.88

mass of ice melt  is 36.337554 gram

so mass of ice is here = mass of ice melt + ice melt

mass of ice  =  36.337554 + 2

mass of ice  =  38.337554 gram

so original mass of the block of ice is 38.34 gram

A cube made Of an unknown material has a height of 9 symeters the mass of this cube is 3645 g. calculate the density of this cub
kherson [118]

Answer: 5 \frac{g}{cm^{3}}

Explanation:

The density \rho of a material is given by:

\rho=\frac{m}{V} (1)

Where:

m=3645 g is the mass of the cube

V is the volume of the cube

Now, the volume of a cube is equal to the length L of its edge to the power of 3:

V=L^{3} (2)

If we know L=9 cm, the volume of this cube is:

V=(9 cm)^{3}=729 cm^{3} (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):

\rho=\frac{3645 g}{729 cm^{3}} (4)

\rho=5 \frac{g}{cm^{3}} This is the density of the cube
