A camper stands in a valley between two parallel cliff walls. He claps his hands and notices that the echo from the nearby wall

returns 0.9 s later while the echo from the farther wall returns 1.10 s later. If the air temperature is -10 C, how wide is the valley?

Bumek [7]

Answer:

a)3.5s

b)28.57m/S

c)34.33m/S

d)44.66m/S

Explanation:

Hello!

we will solve this exercise numeral by numeral

a) to find the time the ball takes in the air we must consider that vertically the ball experiences a movement with constant acceleration whose value is gravity (9.81m / S ^ 2), that the initial vertical velocity is zero, we use the following equation for a body that moves with constant acceleration

Y= VoT+0.5gt^{2}

where

Vo = Initial speed =0

T = time

g=gravity=9.81m/s^2

y = height=60m

solving for time

Y=0.5gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{Y}{0.5g} } \\t=\frac{60}{0.5(9.81)} \\

T=3.5s

b)The horizontal speed remains constant since there is no horizontal acceleration. with the value of the distance traveled (100m) and the time that lasts in the air (3.5s) we estimate the horizontal speed

V=\frac{x}{t} =\frac{100}{3.5}=28.57m/s

c)

to find the final vertical velocity we use the equations for motion with constant velocity as follows

Vf=Vo+g.t    

Vf=0+(9.81 )(3.5)=34.335m/S          

d)Finally, to find the resulting velocity, we add the horizontal and vertical velocities vectorially, this is achieved by finding the square root of the sum of its squares

V=\sqrt{Vx^2+Vy^2} =\sqrt{34.33^2+28.57^2} =44.67m/S

qwelly [4]

Answer:0.0133 \Omega

Explanation:

Given

Voltage=12 V

Current(I)=150 A

V_{terminal}=10 V

r_{internal}=\frac{\Delta V}{I}

r_{internal}=\frac{12-10}{150}

r_{internal}=\frac{2}{150}=0.0133 \Omega

Decide whether each statement describes mass or weight.
vova2212 [387]

<u>Mass</u>

  • Mass is measured in kilograms.
  • Mass does not change when gravity changes.
  • Mass is the amount of matter in something.

<u>Weight</u>

  • Before I answer, we have to know weight formula. Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.
  • Therefore, weight is measured in Newtons.
  • Weight changes when gravity changes. This is because weight is dependent on acceleration due to gravity.
  • Weight is a gravitational force.

Hope you could understand.

If you have any query, feel free to ask.

A rocket of mass 1000kg uses 5kg of fuel and oxygen to produce exhaust gases ejected at 500m/s calculate the increase its veloci
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Approximately \rm 2.5\; m \cdot s^{-1}.

Explanation:

Let the increase in the rocket's velocity be \Delta v. Let v_0 represent the initial velocity of the rocket. Note that for this question, the exact value of  v_0 doesn't really matter.

The momentum of an object is equal to its mass times its velocity.

  • Mass of the rocket with the 5 kg of fuel: 1000.
  • Initial velocity of the rocket and the fuel: v_0.
  • Hence the initial momentum of the rocket: 1000\,v_0.
  • Mass of the rocket without that 5 kg of fuel: 1000 - 5 = 995.
  • Final velocity of the rocket: v_0 + \Delta v.
  • Hence the final momentum of the rocket: 995\,(v_0 + \Delta v).
  • Mass of the 5 kg of fuel: 5.
  • Final velocity of the fuel: v_0 - 500 (assuming that the the 500 m/s in the question takes the rocket as its reference.)
  • Hence the final momentum of the fuel: 5\,(v_0 - 500).

Momentum is conserved in an isolated system like the rocket and its fuel. That is:

Sum of initial momentum = Sum of final momentum.

1000\,v_0 = 995\,(v_0 + \Delta v) + 5\,(v_0 - 500).

Note that 1000\, v_0 appears on both sides of the equation. These two terms could hence be eliminated.

0 = 995\, \Delta v - 5\times 500.

\displaystyle \Delta v = \frac{5}{995}\times 500 \approx \rm 2.5\; m \cdot s^{-1}.

Hence, the velocity of the rocket increased by around 2.5 m/s.
