Answer:

We know that the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air

we are also given the distance of the boat from the shore

From the provided data, we can easily find the time taken by the sound to reach the shore using the second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at²

since the acceleration of sound is 0:

s = ut + 1/2 (0)t²

s = ut    <em>(here, u is the speed of sound , s is the distance travelled and t is the time taken)</em>

Replacing the variables in the equation with the values we know

1200 = 343 * t

t = 1200 / 343

t = 3.5 seconds (approx)

Therefore, the sound of the gun will be heard at the shore, 3.5 seconds after being fired

morpeh [17]

Answer:

<em>a) Fvt cosθ</em>

<em>b) Fv cosθ</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Each horse exerts a force = F

the rope is inclined at an angle = θ

speed of each horse = v

a) In time t, the distance traveled d = speed x time

i.e d = v x t = vt

also, the resultant force = F cosθ

Work done W = force x distance

W = F cosθ x vt = <em>Fvt cosθ</em>

<em></em>

b) Power provided by the horse P = force x speed

P = F cosθ x v

P = <em>Fv cosθ</em>

Which trailer has more downward pressure where it attaches to the car?
VARVARA [1.3K]

The one that is loaded worst. The overall weight is not important; tongue weight is a matter of loading. Our 12,000 lb snow cat trailer, which has stops to position the cat properly, has under 100 lbs tongue weight. Excessive tongue weight is a Bad Thing because it reduces weight on the towing vehicle's front wheels, leading to instability.
