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.

A block of mass 3.6 kg, sliding on a horizontal plane, is released with a velocity of 1.7 m/s. The block slides and stops at a d

pentagon [3]

Answer:

The block would have slid <u>12.6 m</u> if its initial velocity were increased by a factor of 2.8.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the block (m) = 3.6 kg

Initial velocity (u) = 1.7 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Displacement (S) = 1.6 m

First we will find the acceleration of the block.

Using the equation of motion, we have:

$v^2=u^2+2aS\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2S}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'a'. This gives,

$a=\frac{0-1.7^2}{2\times 1.6}\\\\a=\frac{-2.89}{3.2}=0.903\ m/s^2$

The acceleration is negative as it is resisting the motion.

Now, the initial velocity is increased by a factor of 2.8. So,

New initial velocity = 2.8 × 1.7 = 4.76 m/s

Again using the same equation of motion and expressing the result in terms of 'S'. This gives,

$v^2=u^2+2aS\\\\S=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'S'. This gives,

$S=\frac{0-4.76^2}{2\times -0.903}\\\\S=\frac{-22.6576}{-1.806}=12.6\ m$

Therefore, the block would have slid 12.6 m if its initial velocity were increased by a factor of 2.8

A roller coaster is released from the top of a track that is 57 m high. Find the roller coaster speed when it reaches ground lev

Art [367]

Hi there!

Assuming the track is frictionless:

$E_i = E_f\\\\PE = KE\\\\mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Cancel out the masses and rearrange to solve for velocity:

$gh = \frac{1}{2}v^{2}\\\\v = \sqrt{2gh}\\\\$

Plug in the given height and let g = 9.8 m/s²:

$v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(57)} = \boxed{33.42 m/s}$

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

13 meters

Explanation:

Step one:

given

We are told that Nathalie leaves a history classroom and walks 3 meters North

Then travels another 10 meters south to an art classroom.

Required

The total distance.

Step two:

The total distance can be computed by summing up the 3 meter North distance traveled and the 10 meter south distance traveled

Total distance= 3+10= 13meters
