An engine approaches a hill with a constant speed. When it is at a distance of \(0.9\, km\), it blows a whistle whose echo is heard by the driver after \(5\, seconds\). If the speed of sound in air is \(330\, m/s\), then the speed of the engine is .... \(m/s\)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(30\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let after 5 sec engine at point \(C\)
\(t=\frac{A B}{330}+\frac{B C}{330}\)
\(5=\frac{0.9 \times 1000}{330}+\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{330}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{BC}=750 \mathrm{m}\)
Distance travelled by engine in \(5\, sec\)
\(=900 \mathrm{m}-750 \mathrm{m}=150 \mathrm{m}\)
Therefore velocity of engine
\(=\frac{150 \mathrm{m}}{5 \mathrm{sec}}=30 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\)
