Answer: 9.09 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

speed of sound = 330 m/s

Distance away = 3 km

(since the SI unit of distance is metres, convert 3km to metres

1km = 1000 metres

3km = (3 x 10000) = 3000 metres

Time it take for the sound to reach you = ?

Now, recall that speed is obtained by dividing distance travelled by the time taken.

i.e speed = distance / time

330 m/s = 3000 m / time

Time = 3000 m / 330 m/s

Time = 9.09 seconds

Thus, it will take 9.09 seconds for the sound to reach you.

Frame S' passes frame S in the usual way (positive directions). An object also moves in the positive direction. Which is true? T
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The answer is "The object's speed relative to S can be greater than or less than its speed relative to S', depending on the actual values."

Explanation:

The S' frame and the object are moving in a positive direction. The object is moving with respect to the S frame so the S frame the rest frame

take the velocity of the object with respect to the rest frame as v and the velocity of the S' frame with respect S frame as v2

relative velocity of the object to the S' frame would be

Vrel = v2- v

This means the Vrel of the object with respect to the S' frame is less than the Vrel  of the object with respect to the S frame

However is the S' velocity is greater than that of the object then the Vrel of the object with respect to the S' frame is greater than the Vrel of the object with respect to the S frame.

This would mean the second option is the answer, the relative speed of the object depends on the actual values.

A ball rolls at a speed of 6cm/s. How far does the ball roll in 40 seconds ? ____cm
sesenic [268]

Answer:

240cm

Explanation:

Speed = 6cm/s

Time = 40 seconds

Speed= distance/time

6cm/s = distance/40seconds

Distance = 6×40

Distance = 240cm

Hence, in 40 seconds, the ball must have rolled the distance of 240cm

While bats emit a wide variety of sounds, one type emits pulses of sound at a frequency between 39 kHz and 78 kHz. What is the r
sdas [7]

Answer:

The range of wavelengths of the sound is 7692.30 m and 3846.15 m

Explanation:

A bat emits pulses of sound at a frequency between 39 kHz and 78 kHz. It is required to find the range of wavelengths of this sound.

Bat uses ultrasonic waves. It moves with the speed of light.

If f = 39 kHz,

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{39\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=7692.30\ m

If f = 78 kHz,

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{78\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=3846.15\ m

So, the range of wavelengths of the sound is 7692.30 m and 3846.15 m.
