You drop a stone down a well that is 19.60 m deep. How long is it before you hear the splash? The speed of sound in air is 343 m

/s and air resistance is negligible.

So, the time needed before you hear the splash is approximately <u>2.06 s</u>.

<h3>Introduction</h3>

Hi ! In this question, I will help you. This question uses two principles, namely the time for an object to fall freely and the time for sound to propagate through air. When moving in free fall, the time required can be calculated by the following equation:

\sf{h = \frac{1}{2} \cdot g \cdot t^2}

\sf{\frac{2 \cdot h}{g} = t^2}

\boxed{\sf{\bold{t = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot h}{g}}}}}

With the following condition :

  • t = interval of the time (s)
  • h = height or any other displacement at vertical line (m)
  • g = acceleration of the gravity (m/s²)

Meanwhile, for sound propagation (without sound reflection), time propagates is the same as the quotient of distance by time. Or it can be formulated by :

\boxed{\sf{\bold{t = \frac{s}{v}}}}

With the following condition :

  • t = interval of the time (s)
  • s = shift or displacement (m)
  • v = velocity (m/s)

<h3>Problem Solving</h3>

We know that :

  • h = height or any other displacement at vertical line = 19.6 m
  • g = acceleration of the gravity = 9.8 m/s²
  • v = velocity = 343 m/s

What was asked :

  • \sf{\sum t} = ... s

Step by step :

  • Find the time when the object falls freely until it hits the water. Save value as \sf{\bold{t_1}}

\sf{t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot h}{g}}}

\sf{t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot \cancel{19.6} \:_2}{\cancel{9.8}}}}

\sf{t_1 = \sqrt{4}}

\sf{\bold{t_1 = 2 \: s}}

  • Find the time when the sound propagate through air. Save value as \sf{\bold{t_2}}

\sf{t_2 = \frac{h}{v}}

\sf{t_2 = \frac{19.6}{343}}

\sf{\bold{t_2 \approx 0.06 \: s}}

  • Find the total time \sf{\bold{\sum t}}

\sf{\sum t = t_1 + t_2}

\sf{\sum t \approx 2 + 0.06}

\boxed{\sf{\sum t \approx 2.06}}

<h3>Conclusion</h3>

So, the time needed before you hear the splash is approximately 2.06 s.

A car is rounding a 100-m-radius curve at 25 m/s.What is the minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires a
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground is 0.64.

Explanation:

if the μ is the coefficient of static friction and R is radius of the curve and v is the speed of the car then, one thing we know is that along the curve, the frictional force, f will be equal to the centripedal force, Fc and this relation is :

Fc = f

m×(v^2)/(R) = μ×m×g

    (v^2)/(R) = g×μ

               μ = (v^2)/(R×g)

                  =  ((25)^2)/((100)×(9.8))

                  = 0.64

Therefore, the minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground is 0.64.

Two subway stops are separated by 1210 m. If a subway train accelerates at 1.30 m/s2 from rest through the first half of the dis
solong [7]

Answer:

Part 1) Time of travel equals 61 seconds

Part 2) Maximum speed equals 39.66 m/s.

Explanation:

The final speed of the train when it completes half of it's journey is given by third equation of kinematics as

v^{2}=u^2+2as

where

'v' is the final speed

'u' is initial speed

'a' is acceleration of the body

's' is the distance covered

Applying the given values we get

v^2=0+2\times 1.30\times \frac{1210}{2}\\\\v^{2}=1573\\\\\therefore v=39.66m/s

Now the time taken to attain the above velocity can be calculated by the first equation of kinematics as

v=u+at\\\\v=0+1.30\times t\\\\\therefore t=\frac{39.66}{1.30}=30.51seconds

Since the deceleration is same as acceleration hence the time to stop in the same distance shall be equal to the time taken to accelerate the first half of distance

Thus total time of journey equalsT=2\times 30.51\approx61seconds

Part b)

the maximum speed is reached at the point when the train ends it's acceleration thus the maximum speed reached by the train equals 39.66m/s
