Explanation:

<u>How to find the speed of an object</u>

Calculate speed, distance, or time using the formula d = st, distance equals speed times time. The Speed Distance Time Calculator can solve for the unknown SDT value given two known values.

Time can be entered or solved for in units of second S (s), minutes (min), hours (hr), or hours and minutes and seconds (hh:mm: ss). See shortcuts for time formats below.

To solve for distance use the formula for distance D = st, or distance equals speed times time.

distance = speed x time

Rate and speed are similar since they both represent some distance per unit time like miles per hour or kilometers per hour. If rate r is the same as speed s, r = s = d/t. You can use the equivalent formula d = rt which means distance equals rate times time.

distance = rate x time

To solve for speed or rate use the formula for speed, s = d/t which means speed equals distance divided by time.

speed = distance/time

To solve for time use the formula for time, t = d/s which means time equals distance divided by speed.

time = distance/speed

Therefore, the speed = 63360 miles per hour

= 63360 mi/h

14. A rocket is shot up into the air and then comes back down and hits the ground 9.2 second later.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

105.8 m

46 m/s

Explanation:

From the time the rocket is launched to the time it reaches its maximum height:

v = 0 m/s

a = -10 m/s²

t = 9.2 s / 2 = 4.6 s

Find: Δy and v₀

Δy = vt − ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (4.6 s) − ½ (-10 m/s²) (4.6 s)²

Δy = 105.8 m

v = at + v₀

0 m/s = (-10 m/s²) (4.6 s) + v₀

v₀ = 46 m/s

Answer:

$v \approx 9.312\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The Free Body Diagram of the system is presented in the image attached below. The final speed is determined by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem:

$K_{A} + U_{g,A} = K_{B} + U_{g,B} + W_{loss}$

$K_{B} = K_{A} + U_{g,A}-U_{g,B} - W_{loss}$

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2} = m\cdot g \cdot s\cdot \sin \theta - \mu_{k}\cdot m \cdot g \cdot s \cos \theta$

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot v^{2} = g\cdot s \cdot (\sin \theta - \mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta)$

$v = \sqrt{2\cdot g \cdot s \cdot (\sin \theta - \mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta)}$

$v = \sqrt{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (10\,m)\cdot (\sin 37^{\textdegree} - 0.2\cdot \cos 37^{\textdegree})}$

$v \approx 9.312\,\frac{m}{s}$

A hiker determines the length of a lake by listening for the echo of her shout reflected by a cliff at the far end of the lake.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

L = 499 m

Explanation:

If we assume that the speed of sound is constant, that travels along a straight line, and that the echo is instantaneous, we can find the total distance travelled by the sound, as follows, just applying the definition of average velocity:

$\Delta x = v_{s} * t = 343 m/s* 2.91 s = 998 m$

If we assume that the time needed to reach to the cliff, is the same used for the return travel, the length of the lake will be exactly half of the total distance calculated:

$l_{lake} = \frac{\Delta x}{2} = \frac{998m}{2} = 499 m$

The length of the lake is 499 m.

The noise level coming from a pig pen with

sweet [91]

Answer:

The decibel of the remaining pigs is 51.5 dB.

Explanation:

Decibel (dB) is a unit of measure of the intensity of a given sound.

Number of pigs = 199, noise level = 74.3 dB.

Given that the intensity (I) of the sound from the pen is proportional to the number of pigs (N), thus:

I $\alpha$ N

I = kN

where k is the constant of proportionality.

⇒ k = $\frac{I}{N}$

= $\frac{74.3}{199}$

k = 0.3734

When 61 numbers of pigs were removed, the number of remaining pigs (N) squealing at their original level is 138.

Thus, the becibel level (I) of the remaining pigs can be determined by:

I = kN

= 0.3734 × 138

= 51.53 dB

The becibel level (I) of the remaining pigs is 51.53 dB.
