Answer:

The duration of the lightning bolt is 1.65 milliseconds

Explanation:

Current is a physical quantity that tells how much charge (q) pass through a specific surface, and its unit on the International system of units is the ampere (A), that is coulomb over time \frac{C}{t}. So current equation is:

I=\frac{dq}{dt}

If I is constant then the equation becomes:

I= \frac{Q}{t}

With Q the net charge

Solving for t:

t=\frac{Q}{I}=\frac{30.0C}{18.2\times10^3A}

t=1.65\times10^{-3}s=1.65 ms

Answer:

1.65\times {-3} \text { s}

Explanation:

Current is the rate of flow of charge.

I=\dfrac{Q}{t}

t = \dfrac{Q}{I}

t = \dfrac{30.0}{18.2\times10^3} =1.65\times {0-3} = 1.65\times {-3} \text { s}

Andy Petite pitches a 0.8 kg baseball with a velocity of 67 m/s. Josh Hamilton
kodGreya [7K]

The Impulse delivered to the baseball is 89 kgm/s.

To solve the problem above, we use the formula of impulse.

⇒ Formula:

  • I = m(v-u)................. Equation 1

Where:

  • I = Impulse delivered to the baseball
  • m = mass of the baseball
  • v = Final velocity of the baseball
  • u = initial speed of the baseball

From the question,

⇒ Given:

  • m = 0.8 kg
  • u = 67 m/s
  • v = -44 m/s

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 1

  • I = 0.8(-44-67)
  • I = 0.8(-111)
  • I = -88.8
  • I ≈ -89 kgm/s

Note: The negative tells that the impulse is in the same direction as the final velocity and therefore can be ignored.

Hence, The Impulse delivered to the baseball is 89 kgm/s.

You are doing an experiment to determine your reaction time. Your friend holds a ruler. You place your fingers near the sides of
olga2289 [7]
I'm guessing that you mean like this:
-- The ruler is held with zero at the bottom, and the centimeter markings
    increase as you go up the ruler.
-- You place your fingers with the ruler and the zero mark between them.
-- The number where you catch the ruler is the distance it has fallen.

Then, all we have to find is the time it takes for the ruler to fall 11.3 cm .

Here's the formula for the distance an object falls from rest
in a certain time:

                Distance = (1/2) (gravity) (time)²

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So we can write ...

                              11.2 cm  =  (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²
or
                         0.112 meter  =  (4.9 m/s²) (time)²                      

Divide each side
by  4.9 m/s² :        (0.112 m) / (4.9 m/s²)  =  time²

                            (0.112 / 4.9)  sec²  =  time²

Square root
each side:            time = √(0.112/4.9  sec²)

                                  =  √ 0.5488 sec²

                                  =      0.74 second     (rounded)

What is the difference between Weight and Mass?<br>Please give a fair amount of detail!
Sidana [21]
The <em>mass</em> of an object is a measure of how much stuff it's made of.  So it's
a property of the object, like the object's length or color.  It doesn't depend on
where the object is located right now, or on what else is around it..

The <em>weight</em> of an object is the measure of the gravitational force between it
and something else.  The strength of the force depends on the size of both
masses, and also on how far apart they are.  So the weight does depend on
where the object is located right now, and on what else is around it.

I think that sums it up fairly well.
