A person, with his ear to the ground, sees a huge stone strike the concrete pavement. A moment later two sounds are heard from the impact: one travels in the air and the other in the concrete, and they are 0.90s apart. The speed of sound in air is343 m/s, and in concrete is 3000 m/s.
How far away did the impact occur?
We apply d = vt for the two sounds, and the distance is the same for both...
Thus vt = vt
(3000)(t) = (343)(t + .9)
3000t = 343t + 308.7
2657t = 308.7
t = .116 sec
d = vt
d = (3000)(.116)
d = 348.6 m
Considering time taken by the light is almost nill
lets assume the distance is x
==> Time taken by sound in air(t1) = x/v = x/343
==> Time taken by sound in concrete(t2) = x/v = x/3000
It is given that t1-t2=0.55 s
==> x*(1/343 - 1/3000) = 0.55
==> x*0.00258 = 0.55
==> x = 213 m

A person with his ear to the ground, sees a huge stone strikethe concrete pavement. A moment later two sounds are heard from theimpact: one travels n the air and the other in the concrete, andthey are 2.2 s apart. How far away did the impact occur? *The speed of sound for air is 343 m/s, for concrete˜3000. Please show how you set up the problem and how you got youranswer.
A person, with his ear to the ground, sees a huge stone strike the concrete pavement. A moment later two sounds are heard from the impact: one travels in the air and the other in the concrete, and they are 0.65 s apart. The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, and in concrete is 3000 m/s. Part A How far away did the impact occur? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. MÅ...
There is a delay from the time someone sees a flash of lightning to the time that thunder is heard due to the time it takes for sound to travel from where the lightning struck to where you are when you hear the thunder. If you hear thunder 13.6 seconds after seeing the lightning, how far away did the lightning bolt strike? Take the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s. Answer in metres.
In order to defeat Bowser, suppose Mario launched a stone from his sling with an initial velocity of 30.5 m/s at an angle θ=20 degrees above the horizontal. The stone flies through the air and strikes Bowser between the eyes exactly 2.00 seconds after it was released. Assume Mario and Bowser are standing on flat ground, and the stone strikes Bowser on its way back down (after reaching its maximum height). You may neglect air resistance. A) how far away...
What are the Solutions to Part B of Chapter 2 of Tillery Physics 9th edition.......kinda pointless for you guys to only have the solutions that the book has already. 1. What was the average speed in km/h of a car that travels 400.0 km in 4.5 h? 2. What was the average speed in km/h of a boat that moves 15.0 km across a lake in 45 min? 3. How much would a 80.0 kg person weigh (a) on Mars,...
need help with all these problems please 2. An iceskater is turning at a PERIOD of (1/3) second with his arms outstretched. a) What is his ANGULAR VELOCITY o? b) If he pulls his arms towards his body to reduce his MOMENT OF INTERTIA by 16 what is his ANGULAR VELOCITY ? c) How much does his ROTATIONAL KINETIC ENERGY change? That is, if the initial Kinetic Energy is (KE) initial, what is the final KE? d) Where did that...

Please answer the following physic questions. Thank you! 1. A dog sees a flowerpot sail up and then back past a window 5.0 ft high. If the total time the pot is in sight is 1.0 seconds, find the height above the window that the pot rises. 2. An elevator ascends with an upward acceleration of 4.0 ft/s2. At the instant its upward speed is 8.0 ft/s, a loose bolt drops from the ceiling of the elevator 9.0 ft from...
There was a car accident. Someone stopped and the person behind them rear ended them. The car that stopped slid away about 30 feet and the car that did the rear ending stopped right about where the collision happened. Was this a perfectly inelastic collision? Why or why not? A perfectly elastic collision is one in which kinetic energy is conserved. How exactly is kinetic energy not conserved though? Sometime KE can be used up compressing/bending things and making heat,...
