Total time in between the dropping of the stone and hearing of the echo = 8.9 s

Time taken by the sound to reach the person = 0.9 s

Time taken by the stone to reach the bottom of the well = 8.9 - 0.9 = 8 seconds

Initial speed (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2

Time taken (t) = 8 seconds

Let the depth of the well be h.

Using the second equation of motion:

$h = ut + \frac{1}{2}\times a \times t^2$

$h = 0 \times 8 + \frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 8^2$

h = 313.6 m

Hence, the depth of the well is 313.6 m

A 16-Ω loudspeaker, an 8.0-Ω loudspeaker, and a 4.0-Ω loudspeaker are connected in parallel across the terminals of an amplifier

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

2.286 ohm

Explanation:

R1 = 16 ohm

R2 = 8 ohm

R3 = 4 ohm

They all are connected in parallel combination

Let the equivalent resistance is R.

1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

1/R = 1/16 + 1/8 + 1/4

1/R = (1 + 2 + 4) / 16

1/R = 7 / 16

R = 16/7 = 2.286 ohm

An automobile accelerates from zero to 30 m/s in 6.0 s. The wheels have a diameter of 0.40 m. What is the average angular accele

leva [86]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to angular motion equations. Therefore we will have that the angular acceleration will be equivalent to the change in the angular velocity per unit of time.

Later we will use the relationship between linear velocity, radius and angular velocity to find said angular velocity and use it in the mathematical expression of angular acceleration.

The average angular acceleration

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_0}{t}$

Here

$\alpha$ = Angular acceleration

$\omega_{f,i} =$ Initial and final angular velocity

There is not initial angular velocity,then

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f}{t}$

We know that the relation between the tangential velocity with the angular velocity is given by,

$v = r\omega$

Here,

r = Radius

$\omega$ = Angular velocity,

Rearranging to find the angular velocity

$\omega = \frac{v}{r}}$

$\omega = \frac{30}{0.20} \rightarrow$ Remember that the radius is half te diameter.

Now replacing this expression at the first equation we have,

$\alpha = \frac{30}{0.20*6}$

$\alpha = 25 rad /s^2$

Therefore teh average angular acceleration of each wheel is $25rad/s^2$

Suppose that a sound source is emitting waves uniformly in all directions. If you move to a point twice as far away from the sou

Helen [10]

Answer:

<em>d. unchanged.</em>

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is dependent on the speed of the wave and the wavelength of the wave. The frequency is characteristic for a wave, and does not change with distance. This is unlike the amplitude which determines the intensity, which decreases with distance.

In a wave, the velocity of propagation of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency. The speed of sound does not change with distance, except when entering from one medium to another, and we can see from

v = fλ

that the frequency is tied to the wave, and does not change throughout the waveform.

where v is the speed of the sound wave

f is the frequency

λ is the wavelength of the sound wave.

In order for the ball to be able to make a complete circle around the peg, there must be sufficient speed at the top of its arc

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let T be the tension in the swing

At top point $mg-T=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

where v=velocity needed to complete circular path

r=distance between point of rotation to the ball center=L+\frac{d}{2} (d=diameter of ball)

Th-resold velocity is given by $mg-0=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

To get the velocity at bottom conserve energy at Top and bottom

At top $E_T=mg\times 2L+\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Energy at Bottom $E_b=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}$

Comparing two as energy is conserved

$v_0^2=4gr+gr$

$v_0^2=5gr$

$v_0=\sqrt{5gr}$

$v_0=\sqrt{5g\left ( \frac{d}{2}+L\right )}$
