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.

Water flows straight down from an open faucet. The cross-sectional area of the faucet is 2.4 × 10-4m2 and the speed of the water
Ksenya-84 [330]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the continuity equations in the fluid and the kinematic equation for the description of the displacement, velocity and acceleration.

By definition the movement of the Fluid under the terms of Speed, acceleration and displacement is,

v_2^2 = v_1^2 + 2gh

Where,

V_i = Velocity in each state

g= Gravity

h = Height

Our values are given as,

A_1 = 2.4*10^{-4} m^2

v_1 = 0.8 m/s

h = 0.11m

Replacing at the kinetic equation to find V_2 we have,

v_2 = \sqrt{v_1^2 + 2gh}

v_2 = \sqrt{(0.8 m/s)^2 + 2(9.80 m/s2)(0.11 m)}

v_2= 1.67 m/s

Applying the concepts of continuity,

A_1v_1 = A_2v_2

We need to find A_2 then,

A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}

So the cross sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is

A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}

A_2= \frac{(2.4*10^{-4})(0.8)}{(1.67)}

A_2= 1.14*10^{-4} m2

Therefore the cross-sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is 1.14*10^{-4} m2
