One gallon of paint (volume = 3.79 103 m3) covers an area of 25.0 m2. What is the thickness of the fresh paint on the wall?
NOTE: for this question, give all answers with 4 significant figures. A motion detector measures distance to the nearest object by using a speaker and a microphone. The speaker clicks 30 times a second. The microphone detects the sound bouncing back from the nearest object in front of it. The computer calculates the time delay between the making of the sound and receiving the echo. It knows the speed of sound (about 343 m/s at room temperature) and from that, it can calculate the distance to the object from the time delay. A. If the nearest object in front of the detector is too far away, the echo will not get back before a second click is emitted. Once that happens, the computer has no way of knowing that the echo isn't an echo from the second click and the detector doesn't give correct results anymore. Once the speaker emits a click, how much time does the echo have to return to the microphone before the next click is emitted? 0.03333 What's the furthest away the object can be so…
