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

Answer:

The answer is 10.857mJ

Explanation:

The energy stored in this solenoid is given by the below mentioned equation,

U = L*I^{2}/2

where L the inductance of this solenoid is given by the below mentioned equation,

L = u_{0} *N^{2}*A/L

Plugging this into the energy equation you obtain the equation for the total energy stored in the magnetic field of the solenoid, given by,

U = u_{0} *N^{2}*A*I^{2}/(2*L)

where u_{0} is the permeability of free space which equals to u_{0} = 4*\pi *10^{-7} T.m/A. Plugging all the quantities into the above equation from the data in the question after converting to standard units. of meters instead of centimeters, we get for the energy stored in the coil,

U = 10.857mJ

jolli1 [7]

The magnitude of the vector C is 96.32m

<h3>How to solve for the magnitude of vector c</h3>

Ax = AcosθA

= 40 cOS 20

= 37.59

Ay = AsinθA

-40sin20

= -13.68

Bx = B cos θ B

= 75Cos50

= 48.21

By = BsinθB

= 75sin50

= 57.45

Cx = AX + Bx

= 37.59 + 48.21

= 85.8

Cy = Ay + By

= -13.65 + 57.45

= 43.77

The magnitude is solved by

|c| = \sqrt{Cx^{2}+Cy^{2}  }

= √85.8² + 43.77²

= 96.32m

The magnitude of the vector c is 96.32m
