AI Thread Summary
An archer fires an arrow that produces a sound after hitting a target, which the archer hears 3.0 seconds later. The arrow travels at 33 m/s, while sound travels at 340 m/s. To find the distance to the target, the problem can be divided into two parts: the time it takes for the arrow to reach the target and the time for the sound to return. By letting "d" represent the distance to the target, the equation can be set up based on the travel times of both the arrow and the sound. Solving this equation will yield the distance separating the archer from the target.

An archer fires an arrow, which produces a muffled "thwok" sound after it hits a target. If the archer hears the "thwok" exactly 3.0 s after firing the arrow and the average speed of the arrow was 33 m/s, what was the distance sepa*rating the archer and the target? Use 340 m/ s for the speed of sound.I have the same problem with different values. If I could see an answer I could then see how to plug in on my other problem.
At least i hope too

Thanks!

For this problem, I would definitely draw a diagram, and label relevant quantities. Then I would probably break the problem up into two parts: arrow to target, and "thwok" sound to archer: treat those two events as one after the other.

Does that give you some ideas?
 
Pretty much the same thing- call the distance to the target, in meters, "d". At 33 m/s how long does it take the arrow to get to the target (in terms of d)? At 340 m/s, how long does it take the sound to get back to you (again in terms of d)? The sum of those two times must be 3 seconds. Solve that equation for d.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
