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

Physics
1 answer:
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

The distance between two charged objects is doubled. What happens to the electrostatic force between the two?a)It will double.b)
zzz [600]

Answer:

d) It will be cut to a fourth of the original force.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between the charged objects is

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the separation between the two objects

In this problem, the initial distance is doubled, so

r' = 2r

Therefore, the new electrostatic force will be

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(r')^2}=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(2r)^2}=\frac{1}{4}(k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2})=\frac{1}{4}F

So, the force will be cut to 1/4 of the original value.

A person of mass m will bungee-jump from a bridge over a river where the height from the bridge to the river is h. The bungee co
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}

Explanation:

Given

mass of person is m

Distance between bridge and river is h

chord has an un-stretched length of \frac{2h}{3}

Let spring constant be k

Person will just stop before hitting the river

Conserve energy i.e. Potential Energy of Person is converted in to elastic energy of chord

mgh=\frac{kx^2}{2}

x=h-\frac{2h}{3}=\frac{h}{3}

mgh=\frac{kh^2}{18}

k=\frac{18mg}{h}

Thus k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}

2.(Ramp section) Suppose the height of the ramp is h1= 0.40m, and the foot of the ramp is horizontal, and is h2= 1.5m above the
frozen [14]

Answer:

a) the distance that the solid steel sphere sliding down the ramp without friction is 1.55 m

b) the distance that a solid steel sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.31 m

c) the distance that a spherical steel shell with shell thickness 1.0 mm rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.2 m

d) the distance that a solid aluminum sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.31 m

 

Explanation:

Given that;

height of the ramp h1 = 0.40 m

foot of the ramp above the floor h2 = 1.50 m

assuming R = 15 mm = 0.015 m

density of steel = 7.8 g/cm³

density of aluminum =  2.7 g/cm³

a) distance that the solid steel sphere sliding down the ramp without friction;

we know that

distance = speed × time

d = vt --------let this be equ 1

according to the law of conservation of energy

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv²

v² = 2gh₁  

v = √(2gh₁)

from the second equation; s = ut +  \frac{1}{2} at²

that is; t = √(2h₂/g)

so we substitute for equations into equation 1

d = √(2gh₁) × √(2h₂/g)

d = √(2gh₁) × √(2h₂/g)

d = 2√( h₁h₂ )    

we plug in our values

d = 2√( 0.40 × 1.5 )

d = 1.55 m

Therefore, the distance that the solid steel sphere sliding down the ramp without friction is 1.55 m

b)

distance that a solid steel sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping;

we know that;

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} I_{}ω²

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{5}mR²) ω²

v = √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  )

so we substitute √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  ) for v and  t = √(2h₂/g) in equation 1;

d = vt

d = √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  ) × √(2h₂/g)  

d = 1.69√( h₁h₂ )

we substitute our values

d = 1.69√( 0.4 × 1.5 )  

d = 1.31 m

Therefore, the distance that a solid steel sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.31 m

 

c)

distance that a spherical steel shell with shell thickness 1.0 mm rolling down the ramp without slipping;

we know that;

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} I_{}ω²

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{3}mR²) ω²

v = √( \frac{6}{5}gh₁ )

so we substitute √( \frac{6}{5}gh₁ ) for v and t = √(2h₂/g) in equation 1 again

d = vt

d = √( \frac{6}{5}gh₁ ) × √(2h₂/g)

d = 1.549√( h₁h₂ )

d = 1.549√( 0.4 × 1.5 )

d = 1.2 m

Therefore, the distance that a spherical steel shell with shell thickness 1.0 mm rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.2 m

d) distance that a solid aluminum sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping.

we know that;

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} I_{}ω²

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{5}mR²) ω²

v = √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  )

so we substitute √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  ) for v and  t = √(2h₂/g) in equation 1;

d = vt

d = √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  ) × √(2h₂/g)  

d = 1.69√( h₁h₂ )

we substitute our values

d = 1.69√( 0.4 × 1.5 )  

d = 1.31 m

Therefore, the distance that a solid aluminum sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.31 m
