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

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

First, let's refer to the distance formula:

d=v*t, where d is distance, v is velocity or speed and t is time.

Now, let's find the distance covered by each individual speed that the car had:

<h3>1. Speed 1.</h3>

In order to use the formula, we need to convert minutes into hours since the speed is given in km/h.

21.1 min/60= 0.35 h.

Now, apply the distance formula.

d=(0.35h)*(86.8km/h)= 30.38 km.

<h3>2. Speed 2.</h3>

Convert minutes to hours again and do the same calculations.

10.6min/60=0.18h

d=(0.18h)*(106km/h)= 19.08 km.

<h3>3. Speed 3.</h3>

36.5min/60= 0.61h

d=(0.61h)*(30.9km/h)= 18.85 km.

<h3>4. Obtain the total distance.</h3>

The total distance must be given by the addition of all individual distances traveled by the car on each speed:

Total distance= 30.38 km + 19.08 km + 18.85 km= 68.31 km.

Technician A says that the radiator should always be inspected for leaks and proper flow before installing a rebuilt engine. Tec
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Both the technicians are right so option C is correct

Explanation:

Both the technicians are right so option C is correct

while installing a rebuilt engine, it is necessary to inspect the leaks and proper flow because if there is leak then cooling oil will flow out of the engine which results in engine heating. Secondly flow should be proper otherwise the oil will not reach to all parts and may cause heating of some parts of engine.

If the cooling fan is defective it won't be suck enough heat from engine and it will also cause heating.

A small cork with an excess charge of +6.0 μC (1 μC = 10 -6 C) is placed 0.12 m from another cork, which carries a charge of -4.
Alex

Answer:

a.16.125 N b. The force is an attractive force. c. 2.68 × 10¹³ electrons d. 3.75 × 10¹³ electrons

Explanation:

a. What is the magnitude of the electric force between the corks?

The electrostatic force of attraction between the two corks is given by

F = kq₁q₂/r² where k = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C², q₁ = +6.0 μC = +6.0 × 10⁻⁶ C, q₂ = -4.3 μC = -4.3 × 10⁻⁶ C and r = distance between the corks = 0.12 m

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

F = kq₁q₂/r²

F = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² × +6.0 × 10⁻⁶ C × -4.3 × 10⁻⁶ C/(0.12 m)²

= -232.2 × 10⁻³ Nm²/(0.0144 m)²

= -16125 × 10⁻³ N

= -16.125 N

So, the magnitude of the force is 16.125 N

b. Is this force attractive or repulsive?

Since the direction of the force is negative, it is directed towards the positively charged cork, so the force is an attractive force.

c. How many excess electrons are on the negative cork?

Since Q = ne where Q = charge on negative cork = -4.3 μC = -4.3 × 10⁻⁶ C and n = number of excess electrons and e = electron charge = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

So n = Q/e = -4.3 × 10⁻⁶ C/-1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 2.68 × 10¹³ electrons

d. How many electrons has the positive cork lost?

We need to first find the number of excess positive charge n'

Q' = n'q where Q = charge on positive cork = + 6.0 μC = + 6.0 × 10⁻⁶ C and n = number of excess protons and q = proton charge = +1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

So n' = Q'/q = +6.0 × 10⁻⁶ C/+1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.75 × 10¹³ protons

To maintain a positive charge, the number of excess protons equals the number of electrons lost = 3.75 × 10¹³ electrons
