An echo is heard from a cliff 3.71 s after a rifle is fired. How many feet away is the cliff

Physics

LenKa [72]3 years ago
3 0

The cliff is 2042 ft away.

We know that the speed of sound in air is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.

First convert the Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius;

 °C = 5/9(44.5 - 32)

°C = 6.9 °C

Applying the formula;

V1/V2 = √T1/T2

Where; V1 = velocity of sound in air at  0°C

V2 = Velocity of sound in air at 6.9 °C

1087/V2 = √273/279.9

V2= 1101 ft/s

Given that; V = 2s/t

Where s is the distance of the cliff

t is the time taken

1101 ft/s = 2s/3.71 s

s = 1101 ft/s × 3.71 s/2

s = 2042 ft

A small sandbag is dropped from rest from a hovering hot-air balloon. (assume the positive direction is upward.) (a) after 1.5 s
marishachu [46]

solution:

We know v0 = 0, a = 9.8, t = 4.0. We need to solve for v

so,

we use the equation:

v = v0 + at

v = 0 + 9.8*4.0

v = 39.2 m/s

Now we just need to solve for d, so we use the equation:

d = v0t + 1/2*a*t^2

d = 0*4.0 + 1/2*9.8*4.0^2

d = 78.4 m

Energy transformation in wound spring of a toy car?<br>give your own answrr​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The work done in winding the spring gets stored in the wound up spring in the form of elastic potential energy (i.e potential energy due to change in shape). ... During this process, the potential energy stored in it gets converted to kinetic energy. This turns the wheels of the toy car.

Martin has severe myopia, with a far point on only 17 cm. He wants to get glasses that he'll wear while using his computer whose
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Far point = 17 cm . That means he can not see beyond this distance .

He wants to see at an object at 65 cm away . That means object placed at 65 has image at 17 cm by concave lens . Using lens formula

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

1 / - 17 - 1 / - 65 = 1 / f

= 1 / 65 - 1 / 17

= -  .0434 = 1 / f

power = - 100 / f

= - 100 x .0434

= - 4.34 D .
