Answer:

Divide by 3

Explanation:

In order to estimate the distance traveled by a lightening flash in kilometers, we follow these simple steps:

  1. Make a count of the number of seconds in between the period a flash occur and the thunder accompanied by the lightening flash is heard.
  2. Dive the total number of seconds by 3 to get the distance traveled by the flash. This is because in order to cover 1 km, it roughly takes 3 seconds.

A water balloon is thrown at 20 m/s from the top of a 20 m high building, what is its speed when it hits the ground? Does the an
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The final velocity is 28.14 m/s

Yes the angle of projection matters

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the water balloon, u = 20 m/s

height of the building, h = 20 m

let the final speed of the ball when it hits the ground = v

The final speed is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = (20)²  +  2(9.8)(20)

v² = 400 + 392

v² = 792

v = √792

v = 28.14 m/s

Yes the angle matters, if the balloon had been dropped at a certain angle, the final velocity would have been estimated using the following formula;

v_y^2 = u_y^2 sin^2(\theta) + 2gh_y

where;

θ is the angle of projection, which accounts for the vertical component of the velocity.

Which of the following statements about language is true?
ohaa [14]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Language is defined as a medium through which a person can deliver its thoughts, ideas, or perceptions to one or more individuals.

For example, Leslie is feeling sad and that is why she is crying. Therefore, listening a cry sound her friend sitting in the next room came immediately to console her.

Hence, sound of crying is also a sign of language that tells Leslie is sad about something.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement languages use spoken sounds, written words, and signs to represent ideas and events, is true about language.
