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 vertical, solid steel post 25 cm in diameter and 2.50m long is required to support a load of 8000kg. You can ignore the weight
Gwar [14]

(a) The stress in the post is 1,568,000 N/m²

(b) The strain in the post is  7.61 x 10⁻⁶  

(c) The change in the post’s length when the load is applied is 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m.

<h3>Area of the steel post</h3>

A = πd²/4

where;

d is the diameter

A = π(0.25²)/4 = 0.05 m²

<h3>Stress on the steel post</h3>

σ = F/A

σ = mg/A

where;

  • m is mass supported by the steel
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • A is the area of the steel post

σ = (8000 x 9.8)/(0.05)

σ = 1,568,000 N/m²

<h3>Strain of the post</h3>

E = stress / strain

where;

  • E is Young's modulus of steel = 206 Gpa

strain = stress/E

strain = (1,568,000) / (206 x 10⁹)

strain = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶

<h3>Change in length of the steel post</h3>

strain = ΔL/L

where;

  • ΔL is change in length
  • L is original length

ΔL = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶ x 2.5

ΔL = 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

We finds that the winds are coming from the west at 15 miles per hour. This information shows the velocity of the wind. Since, velocity is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. 15 miles per hour shows the speed of wind and west shows the direction of wind motion.

Hence, the given information describes wind velocity.

A positive charge and a negative charge held a certain distance apart are released. as they move, the force on each particle:___
iVinArrow [24]

A positive charge and a negative charge held a certain distance apart are released. as they move, the force on each particle increases

The most common charge carriers are the positively charged proton and the negatively charged electron. The movement of any of these charged particles constitutes an electric current

<h3>What is a Charge ?</h3>

When there are more or fewer protons in an atom than electrons, the substance has an electric charge. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge. If a substance has more protons than electrons, it is positively charged; if it has more electrons, it is negatively charged.

  • The SI units for charge are ampere-second or coulomb. When one ampere of electric current goes through the conductor for one second, one coulomb of charge passes through it. Charge is denoted by the formula Q = I t.
