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).

A proton moving at 3.0 × 10^4 m/s is projected at an angle of 30° above a horizontal plane. If an electric field of 400 N/C is a
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The time it takes the proton to return to the horizontal plane is 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s

Explanation:

From Newton's second law, F = mg and also from coulomb's law F= Eq

Dividing both equations by mass;

F/m = Eq/m = mg/m, then

g = Eq/m --------equation 1

Again, in a projectile motion, the time of flight (T) is given as

T = (2usinθ/g) ---------equation 2

Substitute in the value of g into equation 2

T = \frac{2usin \theta}{\frac{Eq}{m}} =\frac{m* 2usin \theta}{Eq}

Charge of proton = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

Mass of proton = 1.67 X 10⁻²⁷ kg

E is given as 400 N/C, u = 3.0 × 10⁴ m/s and θ = 30°

Solving for T;

T = \frac{(1.67X10^{-27}* 2*3X10^4sin 30}{400*1.6X10^{-19}}

T = 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s

The prediction that alcohol slows reaction time is:_________.
ddd [48]

Answer:

b) directional

Explanation:

The prediction that alcohol slows reaction time is Directional . This is because for alcohol to be known as one which slows reaction time means there have been various hypothesis conducted which supports this.

In this case, formulation of a null hypothesis is usually necessary which means that alcohol does not slow reaction time and another alternative hypothesis that suggests that alcohol slows reaction time.
