Answer:

Width = 680 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must know the speed of sound in the air, conducting an internet search, we find that this speed has a value of v = 340 [m/s].

We apply the following kinematic equation, which relates space to time, to define speed.

v = x /t

where:

x = distance [m]

t = time [s]

v = velocity [m/s]

Now replacing:

x = 340 * 4

x = 1360 [m]

But the width of the cannon is calculated when the sound wave hits the wall of the canyon, so this width is half the distance.

Width = 1360 / 2 = 680 [m]

A 20~\mu F20 μF capacitor has previously charged up to contain a total charge of Q = 100~\mu CQ=100 μC on it. The capacitor is t

sertanlavr [38]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

C = $20 \times 10^{-6} F$

R = $100 \times 10^{3}$ ohm

$Q_{o} = 100 \times 10^{-6}$ C

Q = $13.5 \times 10^{-6} C$

Formula to calculate the time is as follows.

$Q_{t} = Q_{o} [e^{\frac{-t}{\tau}]$

$13.5 \times 10^{-6} = 100 \times 10^{-6} [e^{\frac{-t}{2}}]$

0.135 = $e^{\frac{-t}{2}}$

$e^{\frac{t}{2}} = \frac{1}{0.135}$

= 7.407

$\frac{t}{2} = ln (7.407)$

t = 4.00 s

Therefore, we can conclude that time after the resistor is connected will the capacitor is 4.0 sec.

What is 34 + (5) × (1.2465) written with the correct number of significant figures?

bonufazy [111]

Answer: 40

Explanation:

= 34 + 5 * 1.2465

= ‭40.2325‬

= 40

The number of significant figures in the answer should be the same as the number with the least number of significant figures that any of the digits in the equation have.

32 has 2 significant figures so the answer has to be 2 significant figures which is 40.
