According to a rule-of-thumb, each five seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the fl

ash in miles. (a) Assuming that the flash of light arrives in essentially no time at all, estimate the speed of sound in m/s from this rule. (b) What was your average speed?

<span>There are approximately 1600 meters/mile. Estimating a five second per mile delay in the arrival of the sound, then the estimate of the speed of sound is (a)1600/5 or 320 meters/sec or (B) 320 x 60 sec x 60 min / 1600 m/mile or about 720 miles/hour.</span>

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Student c's belief is fulfilled only for the movement of the earth with respect to the sun. But it has no validity or does not exist when it is necessary to explain other physical phenomena with respect to other satellites. For example, how would you explain the phases of the moon, if the Earth is located in the center of the Galaxy?, another serious question regarding the observations made by scientists millions of years ago, where they observed that the distances of the Earth from other planets were changing, with respect to time. If the Earth was in the center, all the planets and the sun would revolve around it preserving a constant distance (radius), at all times.

Other phenomena to explain would be the seasons on Earth, these are due to the axis of inclination of the Earth and the rotation of it around the sun.

What is the speed of light in (a) crown glass n= 1.52, (b) Lucite n = 1.51, and (c) ethyl alcohol n = 1.36?
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

(a)\\1.97\times 10^8 m/s\\(b)\\1.99\times 10^8 m/s \\(c)\\2.21 \times 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

According to the definition of refractive index, the refractive index of the material is defined as the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in medium.

(a) refractive index, n = 1.52

n=\frac {c}{v}\\\\1.52 = \frac{3\times 10^8}{v}\\\\v = 1.97\times 10^8 m/s

(b) refractive index, n = 1.51

n=\frac {c}{v}\\\\1.51 = \frac{3\times 10^8}{v}\\\\v = 1.99\times 10^8 m/s

(c) refractive index, n = 1.36

n=\frac {c}{v}\\\\1.36 = \frac{3\times 10^8}{v}\\\\v = 2.21\times 10^8 m/s
