A hiker is at the bottom of a canyon facing the canyon wall closest to her. She is 280.5 meters from the wall and the sound of h

er voice travels at 340 m/s at that location. How long after she shouts will she hear her echo? (Be careful to consider why echoes happen.)

Answer:

4.80 seconds

Explanation:

The velocity of sound is obtained from;

V= 2d/t

Where;

V= velocity of sound = 329.2 ms-1

d= distance from the wall = 790.5 m

t= time = the unknown

t= 2d/V

t= 2 × 790.5/ 329.2

t= 4.80 seconds

How will the electrostatic force between two electric charges change if the first charge is doubled and the second charge is onl
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

B) \frac{2}{3}

Explanation:

The electric force between charges can be determined by;

F = \frac{kq_{1} q_{2} }{r^{2} }

Where: F is the force, k is the Coulomb's constant, q_{1} is the value of the first charge, q_{2} is the value of the second charge, r is the distance between the centers of the charges.

Let the original charge be represented by q, so that;

q_{1} = 2q

q_{2} = \frac{q}{3}

So that,

F = q_{1}q_{2} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = 2q x \frac{q}{3} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = \frac{2q^{2} }{3} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = \frac{2}{3} x \frac{kq}{r^{2} }

F = \frac{2}{3} x \frac{kq}{r^{2} }

The electric force between the given charges would change by \frac{2}{3}.

A carbon rod with a radius of 1.9 mm is used to make a resistor. What length of the carbon rod should be used to make a 3.7 Ω re
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Length = 2.32 m

Explanation:

Let the length required be 'L'.

Given:

Resistance of the resistor (R) = 3.7 Ω

Radius of the rod (r) = 1.9 mm = 0.0019 m [1 mm = 0.001 m]

Resistivity of the material of rod (ρ) = 1.8\times 10^{-5}\ \Omega\cdot m

First, let us find the area of the circular rod.

Area is given as:

A=\pi r^2=3.14\times (0.0019)^2=1.13\times 10^{-5}\ m^2

Now, the resistance of the material is given by the formula:

R=\rho( \frac{L}{A})

Express this in terms of 'L'. This gives,

\rho\times L=R\times A\\\\L=\frac{R\times A}{\rho}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for length 'L'. This gives,

L=\frac{3.7\ \Omega\times 1.13\times 10^{-5}\ m^2}{1.8\times 10^{-5}\ \Omega\cdot m}\\\\L=\frac{4.181}{1.8}=2.32\ m

Therefore, the length of the material required to make a resistor of 3.7 Ω is 2.32 m.

Because the pressure falls, water boils at a lower temperature with increasing altitude. Consequently, cake mixes and boiled egg
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

1) The boiling point of water reduces by 3.28°C at 1,000 m above sea-level

2) The boiling point of water reduces by 6.56°C at 2,000 m above sea-level

Explanation:

The variation of the boiling point of water with elevation is given as follows

The boiling point reduces by 0.5°C for every 152.4 meter increase in elevation

At sea-level, the boiling point temperature of water = 100°C

1) At 1,000 m elevation, the boiling point temperature, T = 100 - (1,000/152.4) × 0.5 ≈ 96.72 °C

Therefore, the boiling point of water reduces by 100° - 96.72° = 3.28°C at 1,000 m above sea-level

2) At 2,000 m elevation, the boiling point temperature, T = 100 - (2,000/152.4) × 0.5 ≈ 93.44°C

The boiling point of water reduces by 100° - 93.44° = 6.56°C at 2,000 m above sea-level

A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 5.7 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the rid
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

0.76

Explanation:

we are given:

radius (r) =5.7 m

speed (s) = 1 revolution in 5.5 seconds

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

coefficient of friction (Uk) = ?

 we can get the minimum coefficient of friction from the equation below

centrifugal force = frictional force

m x r x ω^{2} = Uk x m x g

r x ω^{2} = Uk x g

Uk = \frac{ r x ω^{2} }{g}

where ω (angular velocity) = \frac{2π}{time}

= \frac{2π }{5.5} = 1.14

Uk = \frac{ 5.7 x 1.14^{2} }{9.8} = 0.76
