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).

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Energy

Explanation:

When an object vibrates, it creates kinetic energy that is transmitted by molecules in the medium. As the vibrating sound wave comes in contact with air particles passes its kinetic energy to nearby molecules. As these energized molecules begin to move, they energize other molecules that repeat the process.

Alex787 [66]
Hey there!

The answer would be B. The sound moves from air to water.

Sound travels through different mediums. It goes fastest in solids, a little slower in liquids, and slowest in air. Sound is a very fast wave, but remember that mediums can differ that. In a vacuum space, there is no sound at all. (ex. outer space)

Hope this helps !

Un proyectil es lanzado horizontalmente desde una altura de 12 metro con una velocidad de 80 m/sg. a.Calcular el tiempo de vuelo
Naily [24]

Answer:

t= 1,56 s ,   x= 124,8 m , v = (80 i^ - 15,288 j ) m/s

Explanation:

Este es un ejercicio de lanzamiento proyectiles, comencemos por encontrar el tiempo que tarda en llegar al piso

        y = y₀ + v_{oy} t – ½ g t²

en este caso la altura inicial es y₀= 12 m y llega a y=0 , como es lanzado horizontalmente la velocidad vertical es cero (v_{oy}=0)

       0 = y₀ – ½ g t²

       t= √ (2 y₀/g)

calculemos

       t= √ ( 2 12 / 9,8)

       t= 1,56 s

El alcance del proyectil es la distancia horizontal recorrida  

        x = v₀ₓ t

        x = 80 1,56

        x= 124,8 m

La velocidad de impacto cuando toca el suelo

        vx = v₀ₓ = 80 ms

        v_{y} = v_{oy} – gt

        v_{y} = - 9,8 1,56

        v_{y} = - 15,288 m/s

la velocidad es

       v = (80 i^ - 15,288 j ) m/s

Traducttion  

This is a projectile launching exercise, let's start by finding the time it takes to reach the ground

        y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

in this case the initial height is i = 12 m and it reaches y = 0, as it is thrown horizontally the vertical speed is zero (v_{oy} = 0)

       0 =y₀I - ½ g t²

       t = √ (2y₀ / g)

let's calculate

       t = √ (2 12 / 9.8)

       t = 1.56 s

Projectile range is the horizontal distance traveled

        x = v₀ₓ t

        x = 80 1.56

        x = 124.8 m

Impact speed when it hits the ground

        vₓ = v₀ₓ = 80 ms

        v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

        v_{y} = - 9.8 1.56

        v_{y} = - 15,288 m / s

the speed is

       v = (80 i ^ - 15,288 j) m / s
