Answer:

0.056 miles away

Explanation:

From sound wave,

v = 2x/t .................................. Equation 1

Where v = velocity of sound in air, x = distance of echo, t = time.

making x the subject of the equation,

x = 2v/t........................... Equation 2.

Given: v = 344 m/s, t = 7.6 s.

Substituting into equation 2

x = 2(344)/7.6

x = 90.53 m.

x = 90.53/1609.344

x = 0.056 mile.

Thus the lighting strike 0.056 miles away

mafiozo [28]

Work = (force) x (distance)

Each time she lifts the weight, she does

          (550 N) x (0.5 m) = 275 joules of work against gravity.

Each time she lets the bar down gently, gravity does

          (550 N) x (0.5 m) = 275 joules of work against her muscles. 

If the human physical muscular system were 100% efficient, and capable
of absorbing work as well as spending it, then the bodybuilder would do
exactly zero work in the process of 1-up followed by 1-down.

A 2.3 m long wire weighing 0.075 N/m is suspended directly above an infinitely straight wire. The top wire carries a current of
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnetic field near current carrying wire

= \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{2i}{r}

i is current , r is distance from wire

B =  10⁻⁷ x \frac{2\times49}{r}

force on second wire per unit length

B I L , I is current in second wire , L is length of wire

=  10⁻⁷ x \frac{2\times49}{r} x 33 x 1

= 3234 x \frac{10^{-7}}{r}

This should balance weight of second wire per unit length

3234 x \frac{10^{-7}}{r} = .075

r = \frac{3234}{.075} x 10⁻⁷

= .0043 m

= .43 cm .

2. Find the time taken by the bus to reach the stop. need only group B, 2 answer
Molodets [167]

Answer:

t = 2 seconds

Explanation:

In 2nd question, the question is given the attached figure.

Initial speed of the bus, u = 0

Acceleration of the bus, a = 8 m/s²

Final speed, v = 16 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the car to reach the stop. Acceleration of an object is given by :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

t is time taken

t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{16-0}{8}\\\\t=2\ s

The bus will take 2 seconds to reach the stop.
