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

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 man 6 feet tall walks at a rate of 6 feet per second away from a light that is 15 feet above the ground.
Tems11 [23]

Answer:(a)10 ft/s

(b)4 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

height of light =15 feet

height of man=6 feet

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=6 ft/s

From diagram

\frac{15}{y}=\frac{6}{y-x}

5(y-x)=2y

3y=5x

differentiate both sides

3\times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=5\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

Tip of shadow is moving at the rate of

\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{5}{3}\times 6=10 ft/s

(b)rate at which length of his shadow  is changing

Length of shadow is y-x

differentiating w.r.t time

\frac{\mathrm{d} (y-x)}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}-\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

\frac{\mathrm{d} (y-x)}{\mathrm{d} t}=10-6=4 ft/s

An astronaut in space pushes a piece of equipment to get it into the correct position. What does Newton's third law of motion te
Agata [3.3K]

Answer: C and D

The equipment would have stayed in the same exact location indefinitely until the very moment the astronaut applied force to it.

The equipment will continue moving in the same direction indefinitely unless another force is applied to stop it.

Explanation: According to Newton's first law of motion which state that; A body at rest will continue to be at rest, or in linear motion will continue to move in a straight line, unless an external force act on it.

The equipment would have stayed in the same exact location indefinitely until the very moment the astronaut applied force to it.

immediately the astronaut apply force to the object by pushing in, Newton's first law will be manifested in which the equipment will continue moving in the same direction indefinitely unless another force is applied to stop it.
