At room temperature, sound travels at a speed of about 344 m/s in air. You see a distant flash of lightning and hear the thunder

arrive 8.0 seconds later.

Answer:

0.854miles away

Explanation:

The relationship between the speed of the sound (v), the distance between the sound of thunder and the reflector (x) and the time (t) can be expressed as 2x = vt

Given the speed of sound = 344m/s

time = 8.0s

x = ?

Substituting this values into the formula to get x, we have;

2x = 344(8)

x = 344×8/2

x = 1376m

Converting this distance to miles

0.000621miles = 1m

x = 1376m

x = 1376×0.000621

x = 0.854miles

The lightening strikes 0.854miles away.

Answer:

<em>The lighten travels 0.853 miles.</em>

Explanation:

Sound: Sound is a form of wave which is conveyed through an elastic medium from a vibrating body to a listener.

v = 2x/t .......................................... Equation 1

making x the subject of the equation

x = vt/2........................................ Equation 2

Where v = velocity of sound in air, x = distance traveled by the sound, t = time

Given: v = 344 m/s t = 8 s

Substituting into equation 2

x = 344(8)/2

x = 1376 m.

x = 1376×0.00062 miles = 0.853 miles

<em>Thus the lighten travels 0.853 miles.</em>

Feliz [49]

The number of significant digits to the answer of the following problem is four.

<h3>What are the significant digits?</h3>

The number of digits rounded to the approximate integer values are called the significant digits.

The following problem is

(2.49303 g) * (2.59 g) / (7.492 g) =

On solving we get

= 0.86184566204

The answer is approximated to  0.86185

Thus, the significant digits must be four.

The wing of an airplane experiences the forces as depicted in the vector diagram to the right. Using both one and two dimensiona
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

A.) 3605.6 N

B.) 33.7 degree

Explanation:

To find the result force acting on the wing of the airplane, we need to resolve the forces into x and y components

Resolving into x component :

Sum of forces = 3500 - 500 = 3000N

Resolving into y component:

Sum of forces = 2000N

Resultant force Fr = sqrt ( Fx^2 + Fy^2)

Fr = sqrt ( 3000^2 + 2000^2 )

Fr = sqrt ( 9000000 + 4000000 )

Fr = sqrt ( 13000000)

Fr = 3605.6 N

Therefore, resultant force acting on the wing is 3605.6 N

The direction of the vector will be:

Tan Ø = Fy / Fx

Substitute Fx and Fy into the formula

Tan Ø = 2000 / 3000

Tan Ø = 0.66666

Ø = tan^-1(0. 66666)

Ø = 33.7 degree.

What is the speed of light? What is the speed of sound?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

speed of light simulating traveling at the speed of light. Speed of light, speed at which light waves propagate through different materials. In particular, the value for the speed of light in a vacuum is now defined as exactly 299,792,458 metres per second

The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium
