(1,500 meters) x (1 sec / 330 meters) = (4 and 18/33) seconds

(4.55 sec, rounded)

It will take 4.54545455 minutes for thunder to travel 1,500 meters. Just divide 1,500 by 330

When a rocket is traveling toward a mountain at 100 m/s, the sound waves from this rocket's engine approach the mountain at spee

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial speed of the rocket is $v_i = 100 m/s$

The speed of the rocket engine sound is $V$

The final speed of the rocket is $v_f = 200 \ m/s$

The speed of the sound at $v_f$ would still remain V this because the speed of sound wave is constant and is not dependent on the speed of the observer(The mountain ) or the speed of the source (The rocket ).

A clear example when lightning strikes you will first see (that is because it travels at the speed of light which is greater than the speed of sound) but it would take some time before you hear the sound of the lightning

Here we see that the speed of the lightning(speed of sound) does not affect the speed of the sound it generates

Two equally charged tiny spheres of mass 1.0 g are placed 2.0 cm apart. When released, they begin to accelerate away from each o

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the charge on each sphere is 0.135 μC

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 1.0

Distance = 2.0 cm

Acceleration = 414 m/s²

We need to calculate the magnitude of charge

Using newton's second law

$F= ma$

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

Put the value of F

$a=\dfrac{kq^2}{mr^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$414=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times q^2}{1.0\times10^{-3}\times(2.0\times10^{-2})^2}$

$q^2=\dfrac{414\times1.0\times10^{-3}\times(2.0\times10^{-2})^2}{9\times10^{9}}$

$q^2=1.84\times10^{-14}$

$q=0.135\times10^{-6}\ C$

$q=0.135\ \mu C$

Hence, The magnitude of the charge on each sphere is 0.135μC.

Veronica claims that she can throw a dart at a dartboard from a distance of 2 m and hit the 5 cm wide bullseye if she throws the

wariber [46]

First, find the amount of time for the dart to hit the board using this equation: t = d/v

t = 2 m/ 15 m/s = 0.133 s

Then, find the height the dart has fallen from its initial point using this equation: h = 0.5gt²

h = 0.5(9.81 m/s²)(0.133 s)² = 0.0872 m or 8.72 cm

Since the diameter of the bull's eye is only 5 cm, and you started at the same level of the top of the bull's eye, that means the maximum allowance would only be 5 cm. Since it exceeded to 8.72 cm, it means that <em>Veronica will not hit the bull's eye.</em>
