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>

An engine converts 95% of its energy to mechanical. What happens to the other 5% of its energy?
Elza [17]

Answer:

Here, 5% of energy wasted as a heat lost or work done against frictional forces.

Explanation:

No engine has yet made that can convert its all input energy into mechanical energy. Some of the input energy goes in vain in the form of heat and friction.

If I were to fill a water bottle full of air and go up in elevation, would the water bottle expand or shrink? If I were to fill
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

a. It would shrink

b. It would expand

Explanation:

a. Since the water bottle is filled with air at atmospheric pressure at 20000 ft, and since atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, when we go up in elevation.

The pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle seek to balance out the atmospheric pressure as we go higher. Since the atmospheric pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the atmosphere are greater than that exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle, this causes the volume of the water bottle to decrease and thus shrinks the water bottle until the pressure balances out

b. Since the water bottle is filled with air at atmospheric pressure at 20000 ft, and since atmospheric pressure increases with decreasing altitude, when we go down in elevation.

The pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle seek to balance out the atmospheric pressure as we go lower. The water bottle expands until the atmospheric pressure outside equals the pressure inside the water bottle.this causes the volume of the water bottle to increase and thus expands the water bottle until the pressure balances out

A car travels at uniform acceleration over a tine interval of 20.0s. its initial velocity is 11.0m/s and its final velocity is 3
SIZIF [17.4K]

Since the acceleration is uniform, we can calculate it from the data we are given:

a = (vf - vi)/2

where vf=33 m/s and vi=11 m/s

Then use Suvat's equation:

x(t) = vi*t + 0.5 * a * t

where t=20s
