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

Answer:

W = 2.200 Joules

Explanation:

Datos (data):

  • Fuerza [force] (F) = 110 N
  • Metros [meters] (m) = 20 m
  • Trabajo [work] (W) = ?

Usar la fórmula (use formula):

  • \boxed{\bold{W = F*d}}

Reemplazar (replace):

  • \boxed{\bold{W = 110\ N*20\ m}}

Resolver la multiplicación, recuerda que 1 N * 1 m = 1 J (resolve the multiplication, remember that 1 N * 1 m = 1 J:

  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{W =2.200\ J}}}

If someone is riding in the back of a pickup truck and throws a softball straight backward, is it possible for the ball to fall
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The person on the truck would have the same speed as that of the truck. Also, before the ball is thrown, the ball would have the speed as that of the truck.

It is possible for a person standing at the side of the road to view the falling straight down.  This would be possible if the ball is thrown backwards with the same magnitude of velocity as that of truck.

To the person on the truck, the ball would appear to have forward motion with the speed of the truck.
