Physics
1 answer:
Sloan [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

v = 340 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

A herdsman yelling out to a fellow herdsman heard his voice reflected by a cliff 4s later.

The cliff is 680 m away

We need to find the velocity of sound in air.

Velocity = distance/time

Distance = 2 × 680 = 1360 m

v=\dfrac{1360\ m}{4\ s}\\\\=340\ m/s

So, the velocity of sound in air is 340 m/s.

Arisa [49]
We will first convert lb to grams and in³ to milliliters. 
350 lb : 2.205 = 158.75733 kg = 158,757.33 grams
1.3 · 10^4 in³ = 13,000 in³ = 13,000 · 0.016387064 = 213.031 liters 
213.031 liters · 1,000 = 213,031 milliliters
Density = m / V = 158,753.33 g / 213,031 ml = 0.7452 g/ ml
Answer: A block of material will float.

A train travels 57 kilometers in 3 hours, and then 87 kilometers in 2 hours. What is its average speed? km/hr
skad [1K]
Average speed (v) = total distance(d) / total time (t)
d = 57 + 87km = 144km
t = 2 + 3hrs = 5hrs
v = d÷t = 144÷5 = 28.8km/hr

The SAME amount of current I passes through three different resistors. R2 has twice the cross-sectional area and the same length
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

resistor R₂ has the lowest current density

Explanation:

The current density is

          j = I / A

now let's analyze each case

a) R₂ has an area 2A₀ and a length L₀ that R₁

b) R₃ has an area Ao and a length 3L₀ what R₁

we can see that all the area is given in relation to the resistance R₁

 

the current density in R₁ is

         j₁ = I / A₀

the current density in R₂

         j₂ = I / 2A₀

         j₂ 2 = ½ I/A₀

the current density in R₃

         j₃ = I / A₀

         j₂ < j₁ = j₃

therefore resistor R₂ has the lowest current density
