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

Physics

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

If a 4.5 kg object is dropped from a height of 6.0 m, what will be its velocity when it is halfway toward the ground? (Use g = 9
dangina [55]
When an object falls or is dropped from rest it's initial velocity is zero.
Using the equations for a motion in straight line. I can find the time it takes to reach 3.0 m down (half way).
x = vt - 4.9t²
-3 = 0 - 4.9t²
-3/-4.9 = t²
0.6122 = t²
0.7825 sec = t

v = v - gt
v = 0 - 9.8(0.7825)
v = -7.67 m/s
the negative denotes downward direction.

You  could also solve the problem using potential and kinetic energy.

Since it starts with maximum PE and gets converted to KE when it hits the ground. mgh = mv²/2
mass cancels, use 3 meters for the halfway distance
-9.8(-3) = v²/2
29.4 * 2 = v²
√(58.8) = 7.67 m/s downwards

Calculate the size of the image of a tree that is 8m high and 80 m a pinhole camera that is 20 cm long . what is its magnificati
Vladimir79 [104]

1) Size of the image: 2 cm

In order to calculate the size of the image, we can use the following proportion:

p:q = h_o : h_i

where

p = 80 m is the distance of the tree from the pinhole

q = 20 cm = 0.2 m is the distance of the image from the pinhole

h_o = 8 m is the heigth of the object

h_i is the height of the image

By re-arranging the proportion, we find

h_i = \frac{h_o \cdot q}{p}=\frac{(8 m)(0.2 m)}{80 m}=0.02 m=2 cm


2) Magnification: 0.0025

The magnification of a camera is given by the ratio between the size of the image and the size of the real object:

M=\frac{h_i}{h_o}

so, in this problem we have

M=\frac{0.02 m}{8 m}=0.0025
