Answer: 5/17 seconds or roughly .3 seconds

Explanation:

We will hear our echo once it has traversed the canyon to reach the end, bounce off, then return back to our ears.

To find how long it travels in one direction:

\frac{50m}{340 \frac{m}{s}} = \frac{5}{34} s (or about .14 seconds)

For it to return back to us we double that time.

The time for it to reach our ears would be 5/17 seconds or roughly .3 seconds.

Naddik [55]

Answer: (2) Use the Momentum Principle.

Explanation:

In fact, it is called the <u>Conservation of linear momentum principle,</u> which establishes the initial momentum p_{i} of the asteroids before the collision must be equal to the final momentum p_{f} after the collision, no matter if the collision was elastic or inelastic (in which the kinetic energy is not conserved).

In this sense, the linear momentum p of a body is defined as:

p=mV

Where m is the mass and V the velocity.

Therefore, the useful approach in this situation is<u> option (2)</u>.

zimovet [89]
1. Find the spring constant k:

F = mg = kx
68 * g = k * 0.0055m

k = 121287.273

2.Find the frequency f:
ω = 2πf = √k/m 

f = √(k / m)/ 2π =  1.7
