At room temperature, sound travels at a speed of about 344 m/s in air. You see a distant flash of lightning and hear the thunder

arrive 7.8 seconds later.
How many miles away was the lightning strike? (Assume the light takes essentially no time to reach you.)

Answer:

d=1.67mi

Explanation:

Assuming the light takes essentially no time to reach you, the distance at which the lightning occurred can be calculated by multiplying the speed of sound by the time it takes to hear the thunder:

d=v_st\\d=344\frac{m}{s}(7.8s)\\d=2683.2m*\frac{1mi}{1609.34m}=1.67mi

The potential difference between the surface of a 3.0-cm-diameter power line and a point 1.0 m distant is 3.9 kV. Find the line
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The linear charge density is 5.19 X 10⁻⁶ C/m

Explanation:

The potential difference between two cylinders, is given as

V = (λ/2πε)ln(b/a)

where;

λ is the line charge density on the power line.

b is the distance between the power line = 1 m

a is the radius of the wire = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m

ε is the permittivity of free space = 8.9 X 10⁻¹² C

V*2πε = λ* ln(b/a)

3900 *(2π*8.9 x10⁻¹²)= λ *ln(1/0.015)

2.1812 X 10⁻⁷ = 4.1997* λ

λ = 5.19 X 10⁻⁶ C/m

Therefore, the linear charge density is 5.19 X 10⁻⁶ C/m

A ball of mass 0.50 kg is fired with velocity 160 m/s into the barrel of a spring gun of mass 1.8 kg initially at rest on a fric
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

All fraction of kinectic energy is lost to barrel of a spring gun of mass 1.8 kg

Explanation:

A ball of mass 0.50 kg is fired with velocity 160 m/s ...

The kinetic energy is given by 1/2mv²

Kinectic energy of the ball = 1/2 *0.5*160²

Kinectic energy = 1/4 *25600

Kinectic energy = 6400 joules.

If no energy is lost to fiction, and the ball sticks to a barrel of a spring gun of mass 1.8 kg with initial velocity zero, all kinetic energy is lost to the barrel of a spring gun of mass 1.8 kg.
