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>

You are considering developing a new food-chopping appliance which uses an Arduino with a touchscreen to control the motor. You
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The food chopping appliances in this scenario should adapt use of digital image processing systems to capture the images after the chopping begins. Certain variables can be defined like food particles size, area etc. This will help deciding a threshold for the variable and then the comparator used in the system will(run by real time operating system) compare the threshold size with the digital image size of particles. If the size is found small then the speed of motor should reduce meaning we have chopped the food as per our need. In case the chopping is not done aptly, the same can be enhanced by increasing the speed of motor till the final outcome is reached

Why would you expect the speed of light to be slightly less in the atmosphere then in a vacuum?
azamat

The speed of light to be slightly less in atmosphere then in vacuum because of absorption and re-emission of light by the atmospheric molecules occurred when light travels through a material

<u>Explanation:</u>

When light passes through atmosphere, it interacts or transmits through the transparent molecules in atmosphere. In this process of transmission through atmosphere, the light will be getting absorbed by them and some will get re-emitted or refracted depending upon wavelength.

But in vacuum the absence of any kind of particles will lead to no interaction and no energy loss, thus the speed of the light will be same in vacuum while due to interactions with molecules of atmosphere, there speed will be slightly less compared to in vacuum.

Why is Tycho Brahe often called “the greatest naked-eye astronomer” of all time?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:Explained Below

Explanation:

Tycho Brahe saw a super nova which inspired him to study astronomy.His observations are 5 times more accurate than other astronomers of his time   and thus he was given a private island to study about astronomy  .He made most accurate naked eye measurements ever.

So he can be said to be the "greatest naked eye astronomer of all time"

A hamster eats a carrot before using its hamster wheel. The hamster wheel is connected to a generator which powers a light bulb.
Andrei [34K]

Answer: Chemical → Mechanical → Electrical → Radiant

Explanation:

First, the Hamster eats the carrot, then the hamster is getting chemical energy.

Now the hamster starts using his wheel, then he "transforms" the chemical energy into mechanical energy.

Now the mechanical energy is connected to a generator, this means that the mechanical energy (the rotation of the wheel) is being converted into electrical energy.

And we know that there is a light bulb powered by this electrical energy, then we have electrical energy being transformed into radiant energy.

Then the correct option is:

Chemical → Mechanical → Electrical → Radiant
