Cycler's speed = 400/20 = 20 meters per second.

Skier's speed = 1500/60 = 25 meters per second.

The skier's average speed during his minute is 25% faster

than the cyclist's average speed during his 20 seconds.

Which is travelling faster a cyclist who travels 400m in 20s or a skier who travels 1500m in 1 min workings?

The cyclist is traveling faster as they cover 400m in 20 seconds, which means they are going at a speed of 20m/s. The skier covers 1500m in 1 minute, which is equivalent to 25m/s. Therefore, the skier is traveling faster.


What is the water pressure in depth of 1500m?

The water pressure at a depth of 1500m is approximately 147 atmospheres or 2200 pounds per square inch (psi). This high pressure is due to the weight of the water above exerting a force on the water below.


How much time would it take for the sound of thunder to travel 2000 meters if sound travels a speed of 330 meters per second?

If sound travels at a speed of 330 miles per second, that's equivalent to about1,188,000 miles per hour, and it takes the sound of thunder 0.002824 secondto travel 1,500 meters.But it doesn't. In order to arrive at a reasonable solution, we need to get ourconstants straight. The speed of sound is not 330 miles per second. It's morelike 330 meters per second.1,500/330 = 4.545 seconds.(rounded)


A sound wave with a frequency of 260 Hz has a wavelength of 1.30m what is the speed of the wave?

Speed of the wave = frequency x wavelength So c = 260 x 1.30 = 338 m/s +++ IN air at standard temperature & pressure. That is important because the speed varies with the density of the medium through which it travels. In sea-water the mean speed of sound is just under 1500m/s, varying slightly with salinity and temperature hence density.


Is the speed of sound faster in low salinity water then in high?

Wikipedia tells the speed of sound in fresh water 1497 m/s, and in salt water 1500 m/s. In terms of experimental uncertainty and the myriad of factors affecting the speed of sound - pressure, temperature, salinity, etc., these are essentially the same value. And since the density of seawater is only 2.5% greater than that of fresh water, it's not surprising that other factors turn out to be more significant. Furthermore, there is one reference that claims the speed of sound in distilled water is an order of magnitude greater than the speed of sound in seawater.

What determines how fast or slow a sound wave is moving?

The density of the medium through which it is travelling: for example, about 343m/s in air; almost 1500m/s in sea-water.


A good time to run the 1500m?

4.25 is a good 1500m in grade 8. 4.25 is amazing! 6min is still a great goal. even 7min is hard to achieve. Naturally however, boys wil usually have a faster pace than girls at this age.

1500m = 150000cm so it is more

How long does it take for the sound of thunder to travel 1485 m?

First of all, let's get our constants straight. "Miles" is not a speed, and thespeed of sound is not 330 miles per anything. 330 meters per second is areasonable value to use for the speed of sound.1,500/330 = 4.545 seconds.(rounded)
