Whenever you watch a high-flying aircraft overhead, it seems that its sound comes from behind the craft rather than from where y

ou see it. Why is this?
Physics

exis [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It takes more time for sound to travel to location, thus one "hear" aircraft at  one of the previous positions. Since light travels at much much speed, the plane is seen at its current position.

Explanation:

The speed of the sound in air = 344 m/s

The speed of the light in air = 3×10⁸  m/s

Since the speed of the light is way more than the speed of the sound in air and this when a high flying aircraft is being watched overhead , the person first sees the aircraft because the speed of light is much faster and <u>the sound of the aircraft come from behind the craft rather than from it is being seen because the speed of sound is very less as compared to that of light.</u>

A low-luminosity star has a small and narrow ________, whereas a high-luminosity star has a large and wide one.
vova2212 [387]

A low-luminosity star has a small and narrow ​<u>habitable zone</u>, whereas a high-luminosity star has a large and wide one.

<h3>What is luminosity of a star?</h3>

The radiant power emitted by a light-emitting item over time is measured as luminosity, which is an absolute measure of radiated electromagnetic power (light).

The total quantity of electromagnetic energy released per unit of time by a star, galaxy, or other celestial object is referred to as luminosity in astronomy.

Recalculate 100 km/h to m/s
qwelly [4]

= 27.777

Explanation:

A kilometer has 1,000 meters, and an hour has 3,600 seconds, so 100 kilometers per hour is: 100 x 1,000 / 3,600 = 27.777... m/s.

A high power line carries a current of 1.0 kA. What is the strength of the magnetic field this line produces at the ground, 10 m
solmaris [256]

Answer:

The strength of the magnetic field that the line produces is 2x10^{-5} Tesla.

Explanation:

From Biot-Savart law, the equation to determine the strength of the magnetic field for any straight wire can be deduced:

           

B = \frac{\mu_{0}I}{2\pi r} (1)      

                                     

Where \mu_{0} is the permiability constant, I is the current and r is the distance from the wire.    

             

Notice that it is necessary to express the current, I, from kiloampere to ampere.

I = 1.0kA \cdot \frac{1000A}{1kA} ⇒ 1000A

Finally, equation 1 can be used:

B = \frac{(4\pi x10^{-7}T.m/A)(1000A)}{2\pi (10m)}    

           

B = 2x10^{-5}T    

Hence, the strength of the magnetic field that the line produces is 2x10^{-5} Tesla.
