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

At what point in a projectile’s trajectory does it experience a minimum velocity?

ad-work [718]

Minimum velocity occurs at the top of the trajectory, where
the projectile stops rising and starts falling. For a split second,
it has no vertical speed at all, and its velocity is only the horizontal
speed (which doesn't change).

Three pendulums with strings of the same length and bobs of the same mass are pulled out to angles θ1, θ2, and θ3, respectively,

seropon [69]

Answer:

The angular frequencies of all the 3 pendulums shall be same.

Explanation:

The time period of a simple pendulum with the approximation $sin(\theta )\approx \theta$ is given by:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

The angular frequency $\omega$ is given by

$\omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}\\\\\omega =\frac{2\pi}{2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}}\\\\\therefore \omega =\sqrt{\frac{g}{l}}$

As we can see that the angular frequency is independent on the initial angle (valid strictly for small angle approximations) we conclude that the angular frequencies of the 3 pendulums are the same.

Calculate the Kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 15kg while sitting on a shelf that is 20m high.

SOVA2 [1]

Kinetic energy is energy of motion. If the object is sitting still, then it has no kinetic energy. It doesn't matter what its mass is, or how high the shelf is.

KE = 0
