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.

If an object in motion, experiences a net zero unbalanced force, the the body
RSB [31]

Answer:

4) moves with constant velocity

Explanation:

If an object is in motion, three things can happen:

1. The object slows down in speed.

This means a net force is needed to be able to slow the object down in speed.

2. The object increases in speed.

This means a net force is needed to be able to increase the speed of the object.

3. The object remains in motion at the same speed.

No net zero unbalanced force is needed.

This is the given situation. So this is the right answer.

An object is dropped onto the moon (gm = 5 ft/s2). How long does it take to fall from an elevation of 250 ft.?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

10 seconds

Explanation:

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

250 = 0 + (0) t + ½ (5) t²

250 = 2.5 t²

t² = 100

t = 10

It takes 10 seconds to land from a height of 250 ft.
