Answer:

To summarize, potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position.

According to a rule-of-thumb. every five seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the f
Bond [772]

Answer:

S_{s}=300 m/s

The rule for kilometers is that every three seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the flash in kilometers.

Explanation:

In order to use the rule of thumb to find the speed of sound in meters per second, we need to use some conversion ratios. We know there is 1 mile per every 5 seconds after the lightning is seen. We also know that there are 5280ft in 1 mile and we also know that there are 0.3048m in 1ft. This is enough information to solve this problem. We set our conversion ratios like this:

\frac{1mi}{5s}*\frac{5280ft}{1mi}*\frac{0.3048m}{1ft}=321.87m/s

notice how the ratios were written in such a way that the units got cancelled when calculating them. Notice that in one ratio the miles were on the numerator of the fraction while on the other they were on the denominator, which allows us to cancel them. The same happened with the feet.

The problem asks us to express the answer to one significant figure so the speed of sound rounds to 300m/s.

For the second part of the problem we need to use conversions again. This time we will write our ratios backwards and take into account that there are 1000m to 1 km, so we get:

\frac{5s}{1mi}*\frac{1mi}{5280ft}*\frac{1ft}{0.3048m}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=3.11s/km

This means that for every 3.11s there will be a distance of 1km from the place where the lightning stroke. Since this is a rule of thumb, we round to the nearest integer for the calculations to be made easily, so the rule goes like this:

The rule for kilometers is that every three seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the flash in kilometers.

Please could someone explain this.
icang [17]

This problem is to let you practice using Newton's second law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

-- The airplane's mass when it takes off (before it burns any of its load of fuel) is 320,000 kg.

-- The force available is (240,000 N/per engine) x (4 engines) = 960,000 N.

-- Now you know ' F ' and ' mass '.  Use Newton's second law of motion to calculate the plane's acceleration.

Which sphere of Earth is associated with plate tectonics?
Marrrta [24]

When looking at this question, we can easily start by eliminating certain answers. In the selections you've provided, you've shown atmosphere. We can easily eliminate letter A, as that makes absolutely no sense. Moving on, you also eliminate letter B, as that deals with ecosystems and whatnot. And finally, you can eliminate hydrosphere, letter C - as that's not the same. That deals with water, like oceans or rivers.

That leaves you with D) Lithosphere for your answer. The Lithosphere is the rigid part of the earth, the outermost layer, I would say. The crust / mantle. That's why it would be letter D - plate tectonics seem to have relations with the Lithosphere. The lithosphere is affected.

A monkey has a bit of a heavy for on the gas pedal. As soon as the light turns green the monkey pushes the gas pedal to the floo
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

s=6.86m/s^2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering that the acceleration is computed as follows:

a=\frac{v_{final}-v_{initial}}{t}

Whereas the final velocity is 28.82 m/s, the initial one is 0 m/s and the time is 4.2 s. Thus, the acceleration turns out:

a=\frac{28.82m/s-0m/s}{4.2s}\\ \\s=6.86m/s^2

Regards.

Choose the appropriate words to complete the thought. A solar powered car converts _______________ energy into _________________
Natalija [7]

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the second choice or letter C. A solar-powered car converts light energy to mechanical energy.

Solar cars use photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into energy. Photovoltaic cells are the components in solar panels that convert the sun's energy to electricity<span>. They're made up of semiconductors, usually silicon, that absorb the light.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.
