Answer:

Speed of air = 1106.38 ft/s

Explanation:

Speed of sound in air with temperature

$v_{air}=331.3\sqrt{1+\frac{T}{273.15}} \\$

Here speed is in m/s and T is in celcius scale.

T = 50°F

$T=(50-32)\times \frac{5}{9}=10^0C \\$

Substituting

$v_{air}=331.3\sqrt{1+\frac{10}{273.15}}=337.31m/s \\$

Now we need to convert m/s in to ft/s.

1 m = 3.28 ft

Substituting

$v_{air}=337.31\times 3.28=1106.38ft/s \\$

Speed of air = 1106.38 ft/s

Saturn has a greater gravity than Earth. Saturn = 10.44 m/s^2 and Earth = 9.81 m/s^2
The gravity of Saturn would be many times greater if it wasn’t fir its huge size! That means in the surface of Saturn you are many times further away from the centre if it’s mass.

In 1780, in what is now referred to as "Brady's Leap," Captain Sam Brady of the U.S. Continental Army escaped certain death from

zysi [14]

The minimum speed with which Captain Brady had to run off the edge of the cliff to make it safely to the far side of the river is around 6 meters per second.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

This is a free fall 2-dimensional type of problem, therefor we can write equations for both dimensions which model the fall of captain Brady. Let's call <em>x </em>the distance travelled by the captain on the horizontal direction and <em>y </em>the distance travelled on the vertical direction.

Lets suppose that Brady jumped with a complete horizontal velocity from a point which we will call the origin (meaning zero horizontal and vertical displacement), and let's call <em>ta</em> the time it took for captain Brady to reach the river (meaning the time he spent on the air). The equations of motion for the captain will be:

$x= V \cdot t$

$y= - \frac{g \cdot t^2}{2}$

We know that at time <em>ta</em> the captain would have traveled 6.7 m on the horizontal direction, and 6.1 m in the vertical direction. Therefor we can write that:

$6.7= V \cdot ta$

$-6.1= - \frac{g \cdot {ta}^2}{2}$

Which gives us a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns (<em>V</em> and <em>ta</em>). From the second equation we can solve for <em>ta</em> as:

$ta = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot 6.1}{g}} =1.12 s$

And solving for <em>V</em> on the first equation, we find that:

$V= \frac{6.7}{1.12} = 5.98 \frac{m}{s}$

Which is almost 6 meters per second.

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t

Lisa [10]

Explanation:

Let us assume that piece 1 is $m_{1}$ is facing west side. And, piece 2 is $m_{2}$ facing south side.

Let $m_{1} \text{and} m_{2}$ = m and $m_{3}$ = 2m. Hence,

$2mv_{3y} = m(21)$

$v_{3y} = \frac{21}{2}$

= 10.5 m/s

$2mv_{3x} = m(21)$

$v_{3x} = \frac{21}{2}$

= 10.5 m/s

$v_{3} = \sqrt{v^{2}_{3x} + v^{2}_{3y}}$

= $\sqrt{(10.5)^{2} + (10.5)^{2}}$

= 14.84 m/s

or, = 15 m/s

Hence, the speed of the third piece is 15 m/s.

Now, we will find the angle as follows.

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{v_{3y}}{v_{3x}})$

= $tan^{-1}(\frac{10.5}{10.5})$

= $tan^{-1} (45^{o})$

= $45^{o}$

Therefore, the direction of the third piece (degrees north of east) is north of east.

How is Venus similar to Earth?

hoa [83]

Answer: D

Explanation: I have my answers VS. Go0gle answers (go0gle answers are pics)

(A) Both have the same day length. Well, Venus doesn't havve the same amount of days. (I already know off the top of my head, but I still searched it up)

(B) Both rotate in the same direction. In school (before Virus) they would always show diagrams of the planets on the projector and Venus doesn't rotate

(C) Both have ample water. No. Venus doesn't have much water >_>

(D) Both have a solid inner core and a liquid outer core. Yesh. In my lessons (before), Venus has a solid inner core and liquid outer core.
