प्रश्न
Suppose the two photographs, shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, had been taken at an interval of 10 seconds. If a distance of 100 metres is shown by 1 cm in these photographs, calculate the speed of the fastest car.

Figure 2 Position of vehicles shown in Figure 1 after some time

उत्तर
The distance covered by the blue car (as evident from the photograph) from one white strip to another, measured by scale, is 1.4 cm.
It is given that 1 cm is equivalent to 100 m.
Therefore, 1.4 cm is equivalent to 140 m.
Distance travelled by the car = 140 m
The time interval between the two photographs = 10s
Speed = `"Distance covered"/"Time taken"`
= `140/10`
= 14 m/s

A girl had designed a clap switch for a science exhibition that enabled her to switch on or off an alarm just with clapping of hands. While testing her device in a hall, she noticed that once the alarm has sounded it followed with another one due to echo of the clap, that is, the sound reflected by the walls. She recorded the two soundings of alarm with her tape recorder and found out that time difference in between them is 0.1 s. If the distance of the walls be 15 m, calculate the speed of sound.
