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.

As the Earth rotates, it also moves, or revolves, around the Sun. ... As the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon orbits the Earth. The Moon's orbit lasts 27 1/2 days, but because the Earth keeps moving, it takes the Moon two extra days, 29 1/2, to come back to the same place in our sky.

The slope of a Velocity versus Time graph will tell you the object’s what?

Verizon [17]

Hope it helped you.

My name is Charlie.

Today this question is about science,or chemistry.

A. Acceleration is a correct answer. Acceleration is a rate of change in velocity.

It change in velocity/change in time. Next, to slope will be indicated by the acceleration.

B Change in position is a incorrect answer.

C. Velocity is a incorrect answer. Velocity is a displacement of an object during a specific unit of time. It can used two measurements are needed to determine velocity. It displacement or by the time. Displacement it includes a direction, so the velocity will also includes a direction. It can used speed with direction. Velocity it can be average velocity or an instantaneous velocity.

When using a calorimeter, the initial temperature of a metal is 70.4C. The initial temperature of the water is 23.6C. At the end

1) 29.8 C

At the beginning, the metal is at higher temperature (70.4 C) while the water is at lower temperature (23.6 C). When they are put in contact, the metal transfers heat to the water, until they reach thermal equilibrium: at thermal equilibrium the two objects (the metal and the water have same temperature). Therefore, since the temperature of the water at thermal equilibrium is 29.8 C, the final temperature of the metal must be the same (29.8 C).

2) 6.2 C

The temperature change of the water is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:

$\Delta T = T_f - T_i$
