Actually it's 
and it says that the energy of an object (E) is equal to the mass (m) of the object multiplied with the squared speed of light (
). This theory says that mass can be turned into energy and energy can be turned into mass. This is one of Einstein's theory of relativity.
What is the time required for sound to travel 1.75 km if the temp of the air is 20 C°?
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
The 2 equations we need for this are
and
d = rt. First we need to find the velocity using the first equation, then we will plug it into the distance equation as the rate to find the time.
v = 331.5 + .606(20.0) I used 3 sig figs for the temp instead of the 1 found in 20.
v = 331.5 + 12.1 so
v = 343.6 m/s
Now, before we can find the time in seconds, we need to convert the distance to meters.
1.75 km = 1750 m:
1750 = 343.6t so
t = 5.09 seconds

Answer:
Explanation:
The frequency is 16.0 Hz. That means that 16 of these waves can pass a single point in 1 second. We are given frequency and wavelength. The equation that relates them is
where f is frequency, v is velocity, and λ is wavelength. Putting all this together:
and solving for velocity,
v = 16.0(97.5) so
v = 1560 m/s. This wave can travel 1560 meters in a single second!!! Now that we know this velocity, we can use it in a proportion to find our unknown, which is how long, t, it will take to hear this sound 11000m away. (11 km is 11000m):
and cross multiply to get
1560t = 11000 so
t = 7.1 seconds
