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 proton with a speed of 3.2 x 106 m/s is shot into a region between two plates that are separated by a distance of 0.23 m. As t
harina [27]

Answer:

<h2>The magnitude of the magnetic is 0.145 T</h2>

Explanation:

Given :

Speed of proton v = 3.2 \times 10^{6}\frac{m}{s}

Mass of proton m = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} Kg

The force on the proton in magnetic field is given by,

  F = q (v \times B)

  F = qvB \sin \theta

But \sin 90 = 1    (∵ Force is perpendicular to the velocity so \theta = 90)

  F = qvB

When particle enter in magnetic field at the angle of 90° so particle moves in circle

So force is given by,

  F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

Where r = radius but in our case 0.23 m, q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

By comparing above two equation,

  B = \frac{mv}{qr}

  B = \frac{1.67 \times 10^{-27} \times 3.2 \times 10^{6}  }{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 0.23 }

  B = 0.145 T

a car travels from station A to B at 30kmph during its return trip A it travels 30 km pH for the first half distance and it 70 k
8_murik_8 [283]

Explanation:

If you cannot visualize it, just assume that the distance from station A to B is 420km. Each half is 210km.

When the car travels from A to B, it takes 420/30 = 14 hours.

When the car travels from B to the halfway point, it takes 210/30 = 7 hours.

When the car travels from the halfway point to A, it takes 210/70 = 3 hours.

Total time taken = 14 + 7 + 3 = 24 hours.

Total distance = 420km * 2 = 840km.

Hence, the average speed of the car is 840/24 = 35km/h.

What is the difference between current and voltage besides their units of measurement
kondor19780726 [428]
"Voltage" is the "pressure" that makes electrons want to leave where they are
and head in some direction, if there's conducting material in that direction.

"Current" is the rate at which they all migrate in that direction.
