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

if the train is accelerating and the bisicle is traveling at a constant velocity, what do you know about their speed?
Vanyuwa [196]
The train is accelerating meaning there is a change in the velocity so the speed is either increasing or decreasing depending. The bicycle is travelling at a constant velocity meaning it is travelling at a constant speed.

A man does 500 j work pushing a car a distance of 2m how much force does he apply
olasank [31]

Answer: 250 N

Explanation:

Use equation for work

W=F*d

d=2m

W=500J

F=?

-----------------------

W=Fd

F=W/d

F=500J/2m

F=250N

A 38-kg canoe breaks free from its dock and floats downriver at a speed of 2.2 m/s. What is the momentum of the canoe? 48.0 m/s
Brut [27]
Momentum of a body is calculated by multiplying the mass of a moving body with its velocity. When a body is at rest it has zero momentum since the velocity is also zero.
In this case the momentum of the canoe will be;
 38 kg × 2.2 m/s = 83.6 kgm/s
Therefore, the correct answer is 83.6 kg m/s
