Answer:

the speed of the sound in the air is 343.3 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the speed of the sound in the air is shown below:

As we know that

Speed = Distance ÷ time

So, here speed be 515 m

And, the time is 1.50 seconds

So, the speed of the sound is

= 515 m ÷ 1.50 seconds

= 343.3 m/s

hence, the speed of the sound in the air is 343.3 m/s

A uniform rod of length L is pivoted at L/4 from one end. It is pulled to one side through a very small angle and allowed to osc

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

T= 4.24sec

Explanation:

We are going to use the formula below to calculate.

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }$

Where T is period

L is length of rod

g is acceleration due to gravity = $9.8m/s^{2}$

From the problem, the rod is pivoted at 1/4L which means that three quarter of the rod was used for the oscillation. lets call this $L_{O}$

$L_{O} = 3/4 * 5.95m$

= 4.4625m

thus $T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_{O} }{g} }$

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{4.4625 }{9.8} }$

T= 4.24sec

If half of the weight of a flatbed truck is supported by its two drive wheels, what is the maximum acceleration it can achieve o

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Maximum acceleration will be equal to $3.43m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu _k=0.7$

And coefficient of static friction $\mu _s=1$

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

When truck moves maximum force will be equal to $F=\mu _kmg$

It is given that half of the weight is supported by its drive wheels

So force required $=\frac{\mu _kmg}{2}$

From newtons law maximum acceleration will be equal to $a=\frac{\frac{\mu _kmg}{2}}{m}=\frac{\mu _kg}{2}=\frac{0.7\times 9.8}{2}=3.43m/sec^2$
