Answer:

1.0014 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The light travels at 186,291 miles per second (~300,000 km/s), and speed of sound in dry air is equal to 0.21 - 0.22 miles per second (0.33-0.35 km/s), as it varies with the temperature. We can notice the lightning almost immediately even though the storm is far from us, but the thunder needs around 5 seconds to travel one mile and approximately 3 seconds to travel one kilometer. Thanks to this seven orders of magnitude difference in sound and light propagation, we can easily estimate the storm distance

How do you Simplify :(2p^-3)^5

iragen [17]

Answer:

The final simplification is (32p^-15).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(2p^-3)^5 we have to simplify.

Property to be used:(Power rule)

Power rule states that: $(a^x)^y=a^x^y$ ...the exponents were multiplied.

Using power rule.

We have,

⇒ $(2p^-3)^5$

⇒ $(2^5)(p^-3^*5)$ ...taking exponents individually.

⇒ $32(p^-^1^5)$ ... $2^5=2*2*2*2*2=32$

⇒ $32p^-^1^5$

So our final values are 32p^-15

if i have a 65.05% (D) in a class and i get a 100% on an assignment that worth 10% of my grade, what would my grade be

lord [1]

I’m pretty sure you would have a 72% which would be a low C but maybe still passing. My schools passing grade is 70%. You would have to see what a passing grade is in your school.
