QC Suppose you hear a clap of thunder 16.2s after seeing the associated lightning strike. The speed of light in air is 3.00× 10⁸
1 answer:
If you hear a clap of thunder in a time of 16.2s after seeing the associated lightning strike, you are: 5508 m far from the lightning strike
To solve this problem we must consider that the speed of light is greater than the speed of sound, therefore to calculate the distance we must use the speed of sound (340 m/s).
The formula and procedure we will use to solve this exercise is:
x = v * t
Where:
- x = distance
- t = time
- v = velocity
Information about the problem:
- v(sound) = 340 m/s
- t = 16.2 s
- x=?
Applying the distance formula we have that:
x = v * t
x= 340 m/s * 16.2 s
x = 5508 m
<h3>What is velocity?</h3>It is a physical quantity that indicates the displacement of a mobile per unit of time, it is expressed in units of distance per time, for example (miles/h, km/h).

Answer : The correct option is, (d)
Explanation :
In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.
where,
= specific heat of copper =
= specific heat of water =
= mass of copper = 120 g
= mass of water = 300 g
= final temperature of mixture =
= initial temperature of copper = ?
= initial temperature of water =
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Therefore, the temperature of the kiln was,
Answer:
R = 1.8 m
Explanation:
This is a simple harmonic movement exercise, at the bottom of the swing the acceleration is vertical upwards and the speed is tangential to the trajectory, that is horizontal; the expression for the centralized acceleration is
= v² / R
R = v² /a_{c}
where the radius is equal to the length of the swing
let's calculate
R = 8.1 / 4.5
R = 1.8 m
