A hunter is standing on flat ground between two vertical cliffs that are directly opposite one another. He is closer to one clif

f than to the other. He fires a gun and, after a while, hears three echoes. The second echo arrives 2.1 s after the first, and the third echo arrives 0.5 s after the second. Assuming that the speed of sound is 343 m/s and that there are no reflections of sound from the ground, find the distance between the cliffs. 445.9 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. m

Answer:

531.65 m

Explanation:

Let d₁ be the distance between the hunter and the closer cliff and d₂ be the distance between the hunter and the farther cliff. The speed of sound v = 343 m/s.

t₁ is the time taken for the sound to reach the neared cliff and return back to the hunter as echo. Hence:

t₁ = 2d₁/343

t₂ is the time taken for the sound to reach the farther cliff and return back to the hunter as echo. Hence:

t₂ = 2d₂/343

t₂ - t₁ = 2.1

2d₂/343 - 2d₁/343 = 2.1

d₂ - d₁ = 360.15        (2)

t₃ is the time taken by the third echo as a result of the second echo reaching the nearer cliff. Hence:

t₃ = 2d₁/343

0.5 = 2d₁/343

d₁ = 85.75 m

d₂ - d₁ = 360.15

d₂ - 85.75 = 360.15

d₂ = 445.9 m

The distance between the two cliffs = d₁ + d₂ = 445.9 + 85.75 = 531.65 m

Answer:

V = U + at

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Initial velocity = 0 (since the stone is starting from rest).

Final velocity = 32 m/s

Acceleration = g = 10 m/s²

Time = 3.2 seconds

To show that the speed of the stone when it hits the ground is 32 m/s, we would use the first equation of motion;

V = U + at

Where;

  • V is the final velocity.
  • U is the initial velocity.
  • a is the acceleration.
  • t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

32 = 0 + 10*3.2

32 = 0 + 32

32 = 32

<em>Proven: 32 m/s = 32 m/s</em>

Zoe read that drinking water from a faucet instead of from a plastic bottle helps overcome a disadvantage of using nonrenewable
Arlecino [84]

The conclusion that is best supported by this information is the water in faucets in healthier.

<h3>Which conclusion is best supported by this information?</h3>

The water in faucets in healthier is the conclusion that is best supported by this information because plastic made of chemical so water can react with the water and make water unhealthier for us.

So we can conclude that the water in faucets in healthier is the conclusion that is best supported by this information

By Ohm's Law, if I have a well working circuit and I swap out the battery for a new battery which has double the Voltage drop, b
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

current would double  

Explanation:

According To Ohm's Law, the current in a conducting wire depends on the voltage drop across the two ends of the wire. It can be expressed as:

I ∝ V

⇒ V = I R

where, R is the resistance and proportionality constant.

In the given case, the resistance of the circuit remains same while the voltage drop has increased to twice the initial value by changing the battery. This will the cause the current to double as well from its previous value.
