Answer:
d = 375 m
Explanation:
The speed of sound is constant in any medium, therefore we can use the uniform motion relationships
v = x / t
x = v t
In this case it indicates that the time since the sound is emitted and received is t = 0.50 s, in this time the sound traveled a round trip distance
x = 2d
2d = v t
d = v t/2
let's calculate
d = 1500 0.5 / 2
d = 375 m
Answer:
The top of the mountian is colder
Explanation:
As air rises, the pressure decreases. It is this lower pressure at higher altitudes that causes the temperature to be colder on top of a mountain than at sea level.
The position of the centre of gravity of an object affects its stability. The lower the centre of gravity (G) is, the more stable the object. The higher it is the more likely the object is to topple over if it is pushed. Racing cars have really low centres of gravity so that they can corner rapidly without turning over.
Increasing the area of the base will also increase the stability of an object, the bigger the area the more stable the object. Rugby players will stand with their feet well apart if they are standing and expect to be tackled.
