A student witnesses a flash of lightning and then t=2.5s later the student hears assiciated clap of thunder. (please show work)

(Part A) Sound travels at 343 m?s in the air, What distance from the student is the lightning strikes, in meters? (Part B) Light travels at 3.0x108 m/s in the air. How long, t1, in seconds did it take the light to reach the student's eyes after the flash?

Answer:

857.5 m

2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds

Explanation:

Time taken by the sound of the thunder to reach the student = 2.5 s

Speed of sound in air is 343 m/s

Speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s

Distance travelled by the sound = Time taken by the sound × Speed of sound in air

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 2.5×343 = 857.5 m

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 857.5 m

Time taken by light = Distance the light travelled / Speed of light

\text{Time taken by light}=\frac{857.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow  \text{Time taken by light}=2.8583\times 10^{-6}

Time taken by light = 2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds

What is the mathematical relationship among voltage current and resistance​
loris [4]

Answer:

The relationship between voltage, current, and resistance is described by Ohm's law. This equation, i = v/r, tells us that the current, i, flowing through a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage, v, and inversely proportional to the resistance, r.

Que unidad de medida se utiliza para expresar la capacidad o volumen de un objeto? Da un ejemplo
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

<em>Explicado a continuación</em>

Explanation:

Hay una pequeña diferencia conceptual entre la capacidad y el volumen de un objeto, a saber:

El volumen hace referencia al espacio que ocupa un objeto, mientras que la capacidad hace referencia al espacio que este contiene. Calcular el volumen de un cuerpo es medir cuánto ocupa mientras que calcular su capacidad es medir cuánto cabe en él.

En la práctica, ambos conceptos son usados indistintamente, ya que tienen unidades equivalentes.

El volumen tiene unidades de longitud al cubo, como por ejemplo:

m^3,\ cm^3\ ,dm^3,\ pie^3\ , pulg^3

y la capacidad se suele expresar en litros o unidades derivadas: litro, mililitro, centilitro, etc.

Como mencionamos, hay equivalencia engre los dos grupos de unidades. Entre las más conocidas están:

1\ lt=1\ dm^3,\ 1\ m^3=1000\ lt

Why is it necessary that all three thermometers were at approximately the same distance from the light bulb
iris [78.8K]
I'm assuming it was to keep the data consistent? The further you are from a heat source the less heat will get to you as the temperature tries to reach equilibrium and the waves start to spread out, so you should keep everything the same distance to get consistent results. I don't have any information so this is just my assumption

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground. Its distance in feet from the ground in t seconds is s equals negative 16 t
marishachu [46]

Answer:

t₁ = 3 s

Explanation:

In this exercise, the vertical displacement equation is not given

        y = 240 t + 16 t²

Where y is the displacement, 240 is the initial velocity and 16 is half the value of the acceleration

Let's replace

      864 = 240 t + 16 t²

Let's solve the second degree equation

    16 t² + 240 t - 864 = 0

Let's divide by 16

    t² + 15 t - 54 = 0

The solution of this equation is

     t = [-15 ± √(15 2 - 4 1 (-54)) ] / 2 1

     t = [-15 ±√(225 +216)] / 2

     t = [-15 + - 21] / 2

We have two solutions.

     t₁ = [-15 +21] / 2

     t₁ = 3 s

     t₂ = -18 s

Since time cannot have negative values, the correct t₁ = 3s
