"A rule of thumb for estimating the distance in kilometers between an observer and a lightning stroke is to divide the number of

seconds in the interval between the flash and the sound by 3. Is this rule correct? 1. No; the speed of sound varies rapidly with altitude. 2. Yes; the speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound. 3. Yes; the sound waves are longitudinal waves. 4. No; the speed of light must be considered in this problem".

<h2>Option 1 is correct option .</h2>

Explanation:

The velocity of sound depends upon temperature . The temperature is different at different altitudes .

The velocity of sound has no effect of pressure . Thus at  different altitudes , if pressure is different , it makes no difference .

Therefore the speed of sound varies rapidly with altitude , due to variation of temperature .

It also depends on the nature of medium . which also varies with altitude .

Moreover we cannot get distance by dividing time interval with 3 .

Suppose the stone is thrown at an angle of 39.0° below the horizontal from the same building as in the Example above. If it strikes the ground 47.8 m away, find the following. (Hint: For part (a), use the equation for the x-displacement to eliminate v0t from the equation for the y-displacement.)(a) the time of flight  sThe x coordinate as a function of time is x(t) = vcos(39.0)t, so the initial speed is v0 = Δx/(cos 39.0Δt), where Δx = 47.8 and Δt is the time of flight. Insert this into your equation for y(t) and solve for the time of flight. Note that the answer should be smaller than 3.16227766016838, since the stone is thrown down (and to the right).(b) the initial speed  m/s(c) the speed and angle of the velocity vector with respect to the horizontal at impactspeed  m/sangle °

A 0.200-kilogram ball A is traveling at a velocity of 2 meters/second. It hits a 1-kilogram stationary ball B. Which statement i
ioda

As we know that collision is elastic  so we will have

e = 1 = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{2 - 0}

v_2 - v_1 = 2 m/s

also we can use momentum conservation

P_{1i} + P_{2i} = P_{1f} + P_{2f}

0.200(2m/s) + 0 = 0.200 v_1 + 1v_2

0.4 = 0.2v_1 + v_2

now from above two equations we will have

1.2 v_1 = -1.6

v_1 = -1.33 m/s

also we have

v_2 = 0.66 m/s

so both balls will separate after collision and move in opposite direction as the final velocities are opposite in sign

So correct answer will be

<em>D. The balls separate and move in opposite directions.</em>
