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

an object moving at 10. km/hr has a kinetic energy of 10. J. what is the kinetic energy of the same object if it is moving at 20
Schach [20]
Kinetic energy is related to velocity by:
KE = (1/2)mv^2

solve for mass m
10 = (1/2)m(10)^2
10 = (1/2)m(100)
10= 50m
10/50 = m
1/5 = m

at 20 km/hr

KE = (1/2)(1/5)(20)^2
KE = (1/10)(400)
KE = 40 J

Energy is released during the fission of pu-239 atoms as a result of the
pav-90 [236]
<h2>Answer: process of converting matter into energy</h2><h2></h2>

Nuclear fission consists of dividing a heavy nucleus into two or more lighter or smaller nuclei, by means of the bombardment with neutrons to make it unstable. In this process that takes place in the atomic nucleus, neutrons, gamma rays and <u>large amounts of energy are emitted.  </u>

Then, with this division a great release of energy occurs and the emission of two or three neutrons, other particles and gamma rays.  

This means fission is a process in which energy is released by  the separation of the components of the nucleous of the atom.

In other words:

<h2>Matter is converted to energy .</h2>

Hypothetically speaking, if an object were located at the center of the Earth, the gravitational force on that object due to the
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

D. ) The force would be zero newtons

Explanation:

Because

If you are at the center of the earth, gravity is zero because all the mass around you is pulling "up" (every direction there is up!)

So F=mg so if g is zero F is also zero
