Suppose you fire a rifle bullet (speed= 1600 m/s) in a shooting gallery and hear the gong on the target ring 0.731 seconds later. If the speed of sound is 343 m/s, how far away is the target? Hint: the 0.731 s refers to the time it takes the bullet to travel to the target AND the time it takes the sound to travel back.

Agas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes three processes in series: process 12: compression with pv= constant from 1 bar and 1 liter to 4 bar. process 23: constant pressure expansion to 1 liter. process 31: constant volume calculate the pressure and volume at each state, and sketch the processes on a p-vdiagram labeled with pressure and volume values at each numbered stat

Which type of basaltic lava flow has a fairly smooth

In a game of pool, ball a is moving with a velocity v0 of magnitude v0 = 15 ft/s when it strikes balls b and c, which are at rest and aligned as shown. knowing that after the collision the three balls move in the directions indicated and assuming frictionless surfaces and perfectly elastic impact (that is, conservation of energy), determine the magnitudes of the velocities va, vb, and vc.
