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.

How can you tell that this paragraph uses a quotation?<br> Check all that apply?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer- There are two reasons that we know quotations have been used first is the use of of name of the person who quoted it and secondly the quotation is written inside the quotation marks.

Explanation- Quotation is nothing but using a line that has been already quoted by someone somewhere. Such sentences are normally written inside quotation marks. In the above given paragraph the name of the person who quotes the sentence is also given hence we know that our quotation has been used.

A motorboat heads due east at 16 m/s across a river that flows due south at 9.0 m/s. a.) What is the resultant velocity of the b
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

a)V=18.35 m/s (South -East)

b) t =7.41 m/s

c)D= 66.70 m

Explanation:

Given that

Velocity of boat in east direction = 16 m/s

Velocity of river = 9 m/s

a)The resultant velocity V

V=\sqrt{16^2+9^2}\ m/s

V=18.35 m/s (South -East)

b)

We know that

Distance = Velocity x time

Lets t time takes to cross the river

136 = 18.35 x t

t =7.41 m/s

c)

   The distance covered downstream  

We know that

Distance = Velocity x time

t= 7.41 s

D= 7.41 x 9 m

D= 66.70 m

parallel-plate air capacitor is made from two plates 0.070 m square, spaced 6.3 mm apart. What must the potential difference bet
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

V = 576 V

Explanation:

Given:

- The area of the two plates A = 0.070 m^2

- The space between the two plates d = 6.3 mm

- Te energy density u = 0.037 J /m^3

Find:

- What must the potential difference between the plates V?

Solution:

- The energy density of the capacitor with capacitance C and potential difference V is given as:

                               u = 0.5*ε*E^2

- Where the Electric field strength E between capacitor plates is given by:

                               E = V / d

Hence,

                               u = 0.5*ε*(V/d)^2

Where, ε = 8.854 * 10^-12

                               V^2 = 2*u*d^2 / ε

                               V = d*sqrt ( 2*u / ε )

Plug in values:

                               V = 0.0063*sqrt ( 2 * 0.037 / (8.854 * 10^-12) )

                               V = 576 V

</span><span>a. they are so small that they stay close to the ground due to the attractive properties of charged soil particles.

b. they are easily carried by the wind.

c. they easily dissolve in liquid droplets.

d. it is easier for then to roll along the small crevices in the ground.</span><span>

</span>I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. Only the smallest particles of soil can be displaced by suspension because they are so small that they are easily carried by the wind. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
