Explanation:

It took t_1 =1.5\:\text{s} for the sound to reach the 1st wall and at the same time time, the same sound took t_2 = 2.5\:\text{s} to reach the 2nd wall. Assuming that the sound travels at 343 m/s, then let x_1 be the distance of the person to the 1st wall and x_2 be the distance to the 2nd wall. So the distance between the walls X is

X = x_1 + x_2 = v_st_1 + v_st_2 = v_s(t_1 + t_2)

\:\:\:\:\:= (343\:\text{m/s})(4.0\:\text{s}) = 1372\:\text{m}

A truck moving at 13.3 m/s hits a concrete wall. As a result of the collision, a 6-kg wrench moves forwards and strikes the wall
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The velocity of the wrench must be equal to the velocity of the truck . So momentum of the wrench before it hits the wall

= mv = 6 x 13.3 = 79.8 kg m /s

If resisting force of wall be F , impulse on the wrench = F x time

= F x .07

Impulse = change in momentum of the wrench = mv - 0 = mv = 79.8 kgm/s

So F x .07 = 79.8

F = 1140 N .

Explain why a diverging lens is used to correct nearsightedness (difficulty seeing objects far away).
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

so that it can diverge the light to make sure that it focused on the ratina and the image is formed.

Explanation:

nearsightedness is when the light is focused in front of the ratina and for an image to be formed in the eye, the light must be focused on the ratina so to correct that we use the diverging lenses so that it will diverge the light and allow the cornea and the lens to converge it so it is focused on the ratina.

Capacitors C1 = 6.45 µF and C2 = 2.50 µF are charged as a parallel combination across a 250 V battery. The capacitors are discon
denpristay [2]

Answer:

For C1, Q =  1.6125×10⁻³ C

For C2, Q =  6.25×10⁻⁴ C

Explanation:

Note: Since the capacitors are connected in parallel, The voltage across each of them is equal.

From the question,

Q = CV........................ Equation 1

Where Q = Charge on the capacitor, V = Voltage across the capacitor, C = Capacitance of the capacitor.

For the first capacitor,

Q = C1V............. Equation 2

Where C1 = 6.45 μF= 6.45×10⁻⁶ F, V = 250 V

Substitute into equation 2

Q = (6.45×10⁻⁶ )(250)

Q = 1.6125×10⁻³ C.

For the the second capacitor,

Q = C2V............. Equation 3

Given: C2 = 2.50 μF = 2.5×10⁻⁶ F, V = 250 V

Q = (2.5×10⁻⁶ )(250)

Q = 6.25×10⁻⁴ C
