Suppose you hear a clap of thunder 14.4 s after seeing the associated lightning strike. The speed of light in air is 3.00 ✕ 108

m/s. (a) How far are you from the lightning strike? (The speed of sound waves in air is 343 m/s.)(b) Do you need to know the value of the speed of light to answer?

Answer

Given,

Time to hear the clap = 14.4 s

speed of the light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Speed of sound = 343 m/s

a) distance where lightning strike

    D = s x t

    D = 14.4 x 343

   D = 4939.2 m

b) No, we do not need to know the value of speed of light. Because we need to calculate the distance where we hear the sound. To calculate that we need to know the speed of sound.

The flash unit in a camera uses a special circuit to "step up" the 3.0 V from the batteries to 290 V, which charges a capacitor.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Therefore the capacitance of the capacitor is 2.38 * 10⁻⁵F

Explanation:

We apply the concepts related to Power and energy stored in a capacitor.

By definition we know that power is represented as

P = \frac{E}{t}

Where,

E= Energy

t = time

to find the Energy we have,

E = P*t

P = 1*10^5Wt = 10*10^{-6}s

E= (1*10^5)(10*10^{-6})E = 1.0J

With the energy found we can know calculate the Capacitance in a capacitor through the energy for capacitor equation, that is

E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

C = \frac{2E}{V^2}\\\\\\\frac{2\times 1 }{290^2 - 3^2\\} \\= 2.38 \times 10^-^5F

Therefore the capacitance of the capacitor is 2.38 * 10⁻⁵F

An object is dropped near the earth's surface. At the end of 4.0 s, how fast is it falling in m/s? (Ignore air resistance.)
Sati [7]
For free falling bodies, the final velocity may be calculated through the equation,
                                   Vf = gt
Where g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²) and t is the time elapsed. Substituting the known values,
                                   Vf = (9.8 m/s²) x (4 s) = 39.2 m/s
Therefore, the object's velocity is approximately 39.2 m/s.
