Answer:

The answer is 3597501.48 km

Explanation:

The speed of light is 299792 km/s.

The speed of sound is 0.343 km/s

The difference is 299791.76 km/s

and of there is 12 second difference between sound and the light. The distance will be:

299791.76*12=3597501.48

What are possible units for impulse? Check all that apply.
Neporo4naja [7]

Units of impulse: N • s, kg • meters per second

Explanation:

Impulse is defined in two ways:

1)

Impulse is defined as the product between the force exerted in a collision and the duration of the collision:

I=F\Delta t

where

F is the force

\Delta t is the time interval

Since the force is measured in Newtons (N) and the time is measured in seconds (s), the units for the impulse are

[I] = [N][s]

So,

N • s

2)

Impulse is also defined as the change in momentum experienced by an object:

I=\Delta p

where the change in momentum is given by

\Delta p = m\Delta v

where m is the mass and \Delta v is the change in velocity.

The mass is measured in kilograms (kg) while the change in velocity is measured in metres per second (m/s), therefore the units for impulse are

[I]=[kg][m/s]

so,

kg • meters per second

B. La velocidad de los electrones en los conductores metálicos es muy pequeña, del orden de algunos mm por segundo. ¿Cómo podría
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

electromagnetic wave. this energy is what lights the bulb.

Explanation:

When you close an electrical circuit, the electrons have a small drag speed, but the fluctuation of the electric field that is created originates by Lenz's law a magnetic field and the appearance of this magnetic field creates a fluctuating elective field, these two fields together forms a wave called an electromagnetic wave.

 This electromagnetic wave has a speed given by the relation

               v = √1 /ε μ

in a vacuum this speed is equal to the speed of light, which is worth 3 10⁸ m/s this very high value so the energy transported by this wave can travel the distance of 10 m in less than 10⁻⁷ s, This energy is what lights the bulb.

Match each scenario to the form of energy it represents.
Pachacha [2.7K]
<span>Correct pairs:

a man jogging in the park --> motion energy (the energy is the kinetic energy of the man, moving with speed v)

a fully charged camera battery --> electric potential energy (the battery is fully charged, so it can deliver electrical energy when the camera is turned on)

a stove burner that’s turned on --> radiant energy (the stove burner emits energy by radiation)

an apple on a tree --> gravitational potential energy (when the apple is on the tree, it has gravitational potential energy equal to U=mgh, where m is the apple's mass and h its height from the ground)

A 45 kg object has a momentum of 225 kg-m/s northward. What is the object's velocity?
melomori [17]

Answer: 5 m/s North

Explanation:

Velocity = Momentum/Mass

Velocity = 225 kg*m/s/45kg

Velocity = 5 m/s North

A brick is dropped (zero initial speed) from the roof of a building. The brick strikes the ground in 1.90 s. You may ignore air
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: Height of building = 17.69m, velocity of brick = 18.6m/s

Explanation: From the question, the body has a zero initial speed, thus initial velocity (u) all through the motion is zero.

By ignoring air resistance makes it a free fall motion thus making it to accelerate constantly with a value of a = 9.8m/s^{2}.

Time taken to fall = 1.90s

a)

thus the height of the building is calculated using the formulae below

H = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^{2}

but u = 0 , hence

H = \frac{1}{2} gt^{2}

H = \frac{1}{2} *9.8* 1.9^{2} \\\\H = 17.69m

b)

to get the value of velocity (v) as the brick hits the ground, we use the formulae below

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2aH

but u= 0, hence

v^{2} = 2gH\\

v^{2} = 2 * 9.8 * 17.69\\v = \sqrt{2 *9.8* 17.69} \\v = 18.62m/s
