Answer:
Inertia
F=ma
Action, reaction
All of the above
A heavy object requires more force to push than a lighter object.
Answer: B
Explanation:
It's not the time it took to heat the substance, so that rules out A and C.
This means that we only have to choose between
B. the area of contact
D. the area of the substances
(since everything else in each of those answers are the same)
Area of contact matters more (e.g. an object with greater surface area is exposed to the air more, will lose/gain heat quicker than an object with less surface area).
Answer:
We know that the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air
we are also given the distance of the boat from the shore
From the provided data, we can easily find the time taken by the sound to reach the shore using the second equation of motion
s = ut + 1/2 at²
since the acceleration of sound is 0:
s = ut + 1/2 (0)t²
s = ut <em>(here, u is the speed of sound , s is the distance travelled and t is the time taken)</em>
Replacing the variables in the equation with the values we know
1200 = 343 * t
t = 1200 / 343
t = 3.5 seconds (approx)
Therefore, the sound of the gun will be heard at the shore, 3.5 seconds after being fired
