    Echo-based Valley Width Calculation - Knowing the Speed of Sound

    Need some help with this question. I think I know how to do it but I don't know the speed of sound. Could someone let me know what it is? A rifle is fired in a valley with parallel vertical walls. The echo from one wall is heard 6.0 s after the rifle was fired. The echo from the other wall is...

    What is the relationship between force and surface area when pushing a crate?

    You are pushing a wooden crate across the floor at constant speed.You decide to turn the crate on end, reducing by half the surface area in contact with the floor. In the new orientation, to push the same crate across the same floor with the same speed, the force that you apply must be what...

    Tension on each side of scaffold with window washer

    I first converted calculated the Force Weight because the answer needs to be in Newtons. Then I put a pivoit on the side closest to the window washer and balanced the forces. (754.6 * 1.7) + (666.4 * 3.05) = 6.1x 543.5 = x Then I subtracted that from the...

    Calculating Distance, Velocity and Gravity

    An archer stands 42.0 m from the target. If the arrow is shot horizontally with a velocity of 95.0 m/s, how far above the bull's-eye must he aim to compensate for gravity pulling his arrow downward? A beach ball, moving with a speed of +1.30 m/s rolls off a pier and hits the water 0.73 m from...
