-- The speed of light in air is very close to 3 x 10⁸ m/s.
Whatever the actual number is, it's equivalent to roughly
7 times around the Earth in 1 second. So for this kind of
problem, you can assume that we see things at the same time
that they happen; don't bother worrying about how long it takes
for the light to reach you.
-- For sound, it's a different story. Sound in air only travels at
about 340 m/s. It takes sound almost 5 seconds to go 1 mile.
-- Now, the lightning and thunder happen at the same time.
The light travels to you at the speed of light, so you see the
lightning pretty much when it happens. But the sound of the
thunder comes poking along at 340 m/s, and arrives AFTER
the sight of the lightning.
The length of time between the sight and the sound is about
99.9999% the result of the time it takes the sound to reach you.
If the thunder arrived at you 3 seconds after the light did, then
the sound traveled
(340 m/s) x (3 s) = 1,020 meters .
(about 0.63 of a mile)
(If you're worried about ignoring the time it takes
for the light to reach you ...
It takes light 0.0000034 second to cover the same 1,020 meters,
so including it in the calculation would not change the answer.)
Answer: The specific heat capacity is very low.
Explanation:
The specific heat capacity of a body is defined as the heat energy required by a body to cause a unit change in its temperature. The value is over low that is why it is easier for the desert sand to easily get very hot during the day. Conversely, it is very easy for the desert sand to lose it's heat a cool breeze pass over it in the night making it very cold in the night. This value also defines how long the desert sand can retain heat. Therefore, the desert sand has a low specific heat capacity.
Explanation:
Substances become neutral at the number 7 because at this point, the acid and Base are equal and becomes neutralized
Answer:
The attraction is due to the induced charge.
Explanation:
When we approach a charged rod to a sheet, an induced load is produced in the sheet that is of the same magnitude as the rod of opposite sign, this is because the charges of different sign attract each other, this explains the initial attraction.
This induced load occurs if importing the plate load
The attraction is due to the induced charge.
