Salutations!

<span>You can see lightning before you can hear the thunder. Which is the best explanation for this?

The best explanation for this statement is the transmission of light in air is faster than the transmission of sound in the air. Light is faster than sound, thus you can see the thunder then you can hear the sound.

Hope I helped :D</span>

A pilot heads his jet due east. The jet has a speed of 475 mi/h relative to the air. The wind is blowing due north with a speed
oksian1 [2.3K]

Explanation:

a. The velocity of the wind as a vector in component form will be represented as v vector:

    v=30j

b.The velocity of the jet relative to the air as a vector in component form will be represented as u vector

    u=475i

c. The true velocity of the jet as a vector will be represented as w:

  w=u+v

  w=475i+30j

d.  The true speed of the jet will be calculated as:

    IwI=\sqrt{(475)^2+(30)^2}

    IwI=\sqrt{225625+900}

    IwI=\sqrt{226525}

    IwI=476 mi/h

e. The direction of the jet will be:

tita=tan^{-1}\frac{30}{475}

tita=tan^{-1}(0.0632)

tita=3.62degrees,or,N86.38degreesS

A bus is traveling with a uniform acceleration of 2.75 meters/second2. If the initial velocity of the bus is 16.5 meters/second,
Kaylis [27]
<span>The velocity will be 41.25 m/s2 after 9 seconds. To find velocity after a specific time period, multiply the acceleration (2.75) times the number of seconds (9) to receive 24.75 m/s, then add that to the initial velocity of 16.5 m/s. 24.75 + 16.5 = 41.25 m/s2.</span>

A spring whose spring constant is 260 lbf/in has an initial force of 100 lbf acting on it. Determine the work, in Btu, required
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

A spring whose spring constant is 200 lbf/in has an initial force of 100 lbf acting on it. Determine the work, in Btu, required to compress it another 1 inch.

Step 1 of 4

The force at any point during the deflection of the spring is given by,

where is the initial force

and x is the deflection as measured from the point where the initial force occurred.

The work required to compress the spring is

Therefore work required to compress the spring is

The work required to compress the spring in Btu is calculated by

Where 1Btu =778

The work required to compress the spring,
