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

A student has a thin copper beaker containing 100 g of a pure metal in the solid state. The metal is at 215°C, its exact melting
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The metal will melt but their will be no change in temperature.

Explanation:

The metal is at its melting temperature which means it is still in solid phase but have to cross the enthalpy of its condensation at this same temperature to convert into liquid phase.

<u>On supplying heat, the metal's temperature will not change as the heat will be required as enthalpy of condensation to melt the solid to liquid at the melting temperature.</u>

A car travels along a straight line at a constant speed of 60.0 mi/h for a distance d and then another distance d in the same di
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

velocity during second d = 20.0 mi/h

Explanation:

Total distance travelled is 2d, with an average velocity of 30.0 mi/h you can express the time travelled in terms of d:

distance = velocity * time

time = distance / velocity

time = 2d/30.0

The time needed for the first d at 60.0 is:

time = d/60.0

The time in the second d you can get it by substracting both times (total time - time for the first d)

second d time = 2d/30.0 - d/60.0

= 4d/60.0 - d/60.0

= 3d/60.0

and with the time (3d/60.0) and the distance travelled (d) you can get the velocity:

velocity = distance / time

velocity = d / (3d/60.0)

= 60.0/3 = 20.0 mi/h

What force must the worker exert to get the box moving &amp; what force must the worker exert to accelerate the box at 0.1 meter
photoshop1234 [79]

Since static friction is the minimum force required to just start the motion of a stationary object.

Here if we need to start an object from rest then we required F = 700 N

So for the first part of the above problem Force will be F = 700 N

Now if the box is already moving then we will have to use kinetic friction force between box and floor

now we can write the equation of net force as

F - F_k = m*a

here

F_k = kinetic friction = 220 N

m = mass = 500 kg

a = acceleration = 0.1 m/s^2

now we will have

F - 220 = 500* 0.1

F = 220 + 50 = 270 N

Which of the following is an example of a safe laboratory produced?
Step2247 [10]
I think you meant to say "procedure" instead of "produced". 

Choice B is the answer as it is the safest and most sensible (to prevent damage to clothing or start a fire for example). The other choices are nonsensical or silly.
