Answer:

The horse power is 0.1340 hp.

Explanation:

Given that,

Horse power = 745 watts

One horsepower is about 745 watts.

Since the bulb consume 100 watt of power

We need to calculate the horse power

$P_{hp}=\dfrac{P_{w}}{745}$

$P_{hp}=\dfrac{100}{745}$

$P_{hp}=0.1342\ hp$

Hence, The horse power is 0.1342 hp.

Seven seconds after a brilliant flash of lightning, thunder shakes the house. How far was the lightning strike from the house? S

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

About two kilometers away

$\rm distance=2.401\ km$

Explanation:

Given:

The time gap between the light and sound to travel to the house, $t=7\ s$

<em>Since the clouds are formed in the troposphere region of the atmosphere which extends from 8 kilometers to 12 kilometers above the earth-surface and the velocity of light is 300000 kilometers per second so it is visible almost instantly, hence we neglect the time taken by the light to travel to the house from the clouds.</em>

<u>∴Distance between the lightning-strike and the house:</u>

$\rm distance=v\times t$
