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.

A positive charge moves in the direction of an electric field. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The electric field does positive work on the charge.

The potential energy associated with the charge decreases.

Explanation:

We know that force due to electric filed on a charge particle q given as

 F = q E          --------1

If the   positive charge is moving in the direction of electric filed it means that force due to electric field and displacement of particle due to motion is in the same direction.So the work done due to electric filed will be positive.

Work = Force . Displacement

W= F.d

F= W/d            ---------2

From equation 1 and 2

W/d = q E

W/ q = E/ d

We know that voltage difference ΔV

ΔV = E/ d

ΔV =W/ q

So the potential difference will be decrease because charge is positive.So the potential energy will be decreases.

The filament is broken in a light bulb. The circuit is now
Zina [86]

Answer:

It is A. Open Circuit.

Explanation:

Filament heats up and produces the light. If the filament breaks, the current does not flow and the circuit will be open. The ammeter will reach zero when this happens.

Which option best describes the average acceleration from 40 to 70 s?
MAVERICK [17]

C. The average acceleration is positive and smaller in magnitude than the initial acceleration.

<h3>What is average velocity?</h3>

Average velocity is defined as the change in position or displacement (∆x) divided by the time intervals (∆t) in which the displacement occurs.

a = Δv/Δt

where;

  • Δv is change in velocity
  • Δt is change in time

a = (250 - 248) / (70 - 40)

a = 0.067 m/s²

Thus, we can conclude that the average acceleration is positive and smaller in magnitude than the initial acceleration.

3. The velocity of sound is 332 m/s. Answer the following questions:
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

20 Hz, 20000 Hz

0.0166 m, 16.6 m

Explanation:

The minimum frequency that a human ear can hear is 20 Hz

The maximum frequency that a human ear can hear is 20000 Hz.

v = Velocity of sound = 332 m/s

Wavelength is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{332}{20}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=16.6\ \text{m}

The longest wavelength that can be heard by the human ear is 16.6 m

\lambda=\dfrac{332}{20000}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=0.0166\ \text{m}

The shortest wavelength that can be heard by the human ear is 0.0166 m.
