Answer:

t=1.25\,s

Explanation:

In a thunderstorm the lightening is seen first then the roar of the lightening is heard because of the fact that speed of the light is much greater than the speed of the sound.

Given that:

Relation   M=t\times 5.6

M= 7 miles

t=?

where:

t= time in seconds

M= distance in miles

Now,

Putting the given values in the relation above

7=t\times 5.6

t=1.25\,s

A block of ice is sliding down a ramp of slope 40 to the horizontal. What is the rate of acceleration of the block? Assume the f
uysha [10]

The given problem can be exemplified in the following diagram:

Since there is no friction or any other external force, the only force acting in the direction of the movement is the component of the weight of the block, therefore, applying Newton's second law:

\Sigma F=ma

Replacing the values:

mg\sin 40=ma

We may cancel out the mass:

g\sin 40=a

Using the gravity constant as 9.8 meters per square second:

9.8\frac{m}{s^2}\sin 40=a

Solving the operations:

6.3\frac{m}{s^2}=a

Therefore, the acceleration is 6.3 meters per square second.

A parallel-plate capacitor is constructed of two square plates, size L×L, separated by distance d. The plates are given charge ±
gladu [14]

Answer:

E(final)/E(initial)=2

Explanation:

Applying the law of gauss to two parallel plates with  charge density equal σ:

E=\sigma/\epsilon_{o}=Q/(L^{2}*\epsilon_{o})\\

So, if the charge is doubled the Electric field is doubled too

E(final)/E(initial)=2

There are a variety of waves from light waves to mechanical waves. Waves can exhibit different effects like the Doppler Effect.

All light waves behave in a similar manner. They either get  transmitted, reflected, absorbed, refracted, polarized, diffracted, or scattered based off of the composition of the object and the wavelength of the light.

According to Wikipedia, “One important property of mechanical waves is that their amplitudes are measured in an unusual way, displacement divided by (reduced) wavelength. When this gets comparable to unity, significant nonlinear effects such as harmonic generation may occur, and, if large enough, may result in chaotic effects.” Mechanical waves are chaotic and its “amplitudes” are measured unusually.

Diffraction is when light bends around objects and spread after passing out through small openings. “Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as light that the eye can see.”-Wikipedia. Here is the formula to Diffraction: <em>d </em>sin <em>θ </em>= <em>nλ</em>

Doppler effect can occur for any type of wave like sound or water waves. An example of this is when we hear a police car with its sirens on, coming towards us. The closer you are to the police car, the higher the wavelength, but the farther away you are, the lower the wavelength.
