It was a dark and stormy night, when suddenly you saw a flash of lightning. Three-and-a-half seconds later you heard the thunder

. Given that the speed of sound in air is about 340 m/s, how far away was the lightning bolt?

We're going to multiply the time it took for you to hear thunder (3.5 seconds) by the speed of sound in air (340 m/s)

3.5 x 340 = 1190

The lightning bolt was 1,190 meters away.

KiRa [710]

Answer:

\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=0.428*10^{2}

Explanation:

From conservation of energy states that

K_{i}+v_{i}=v_{f}+K_{f}\\ as\\K_{i}=0\\K_{f}=1/2mv^{2}\\ v_{i}=qv\\v_{f}=0\\So\\qv=1/2mv^{2}\\ v=\sqrt{\frac{2qv}{m} }\\ Velocity_{electron}=\sqrt{\frac{2qv}{m_{e}} }\\Velocity_{hydrogen}=\sqrt{\frac{2qv}{m_{h}} }\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{2qv}{m_{e}}}{\frac{2qv}{m_{h}}}}\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=\sqrt{\frac{m_{h}}{m_{e}} }\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=\sqrt{\frac{1.67*10^{-27} }{9.11*10^{-31} } }\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=0.428*10^{2}

You are visiting your friend Fabio's house. You find that, as a joke, he filled his swimming pool with Kool-Aid, which dissolved
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The volume of contaminated water

= cross sectional area x height of water level

3.14 x 9 x 9 x 7.5 ft³

= 1907.55 ft³

mass = density x volume

= 1907.55 x 63.5 lbs

m = 121129.425 lbs

This mass has to be raised to the height of 8 ft before evacuation .

There is a rise of centre of mass of

8 - 7.5/2 ft

h = 4.25 ft

Energy required

= mgh

= 121129.425 x 32 x 4.25

= 16473601.8 unit.

Write whether true or false...
elixir [45]

Answer:

a --> true, b --> false, c --> true, d -->false

Explanation:

a) since it stays floating the gravity force and the upqards push is the same

b) if it's balanced the rocket won't move from the ground, the force of the rocket, has to exceed the force of gravity

c) since it's going in a diretion the force of gravity is exceeding the force pushing it up

d) since that are speeding up at a rate, meaning growing, the force is unbalanced.
