To estimate the distance in kilometers of a flash of lightning, count the number of seconds between seeing the flash and hearing

the accompanying thunder, then divide by:__________
Physics

Triss [41]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Suppose a free-fall ride at an amusement park starts at rest and is in free fall. What is the velocity of the ride after 2.3 s?
horsena [70]

Answer:

V = a * t = 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.3 s = 22.5 m/s   velocity after 2.3 s

S = 1/2 g t^2      since initial speed is zero

S = 1/2 * 9.8 m/s^2 * 5.29 s^2 = 25.9 m

A particle moves along the x axis so that its velocity at time t is given by v(t)=
vodomira [7]

Answer:

a = 0.7267 ,  acceleration is positive therefore the speed is increasing  

Explanation:

The definition of acceleration is

         a = dv / dt

they give us the function of speed

         v = - (t-1) sin (t² / 2)

         a = - sin (t²/2) -  (t-1) cos (t²/2)  2t / 2

         a = - sin (t²/2) - t (t-1)  cos (t²/2)

the acceleration for t = 4 s

          a = - sin (4²/2) - 4 (4-1) cos (4²/2)

          a = -sin 8 - 12 cos 8

remember that the angles are in radians

          a = 0.7267

the problem does not indicate the units, but to be correct they must be m/s²

We see that the acceleration is positive therefore the speed is increasing

Sodium has an atomic mass of 23 and an atomic number of 11, so the
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

12 Neutrons

Explanation:

So the mass of sodium is 22.990. You round it up to get 23(as stated in the problem). So, <em>what exactly is atomic mass?</em>

Atomic Mass is the total amount of neutrons and protons added up to form a total mass. So when you subtract 23-11 you get 12 Neutrons.

<u>Tip: </u>Don't know if you need this but-

The neutrons and protons are typically close in number (unless it's an isotope). So say that you subtract and the numbers of protons and neutrons aren't close at all. Well if that's the case, it's probably wrong.

hope this helps!!

calculating power reach each scenario and then answer the questions scenario a 120 j of work is done in 6 seconds scenario b 160
Molodets [167]

Answer: scenario b and scenario c uses most power

Explanation:

Scenario a:

Work=120J

Time=8 seconds

Power=work ➗ time

Power=120 ➗ 8

Power=15

Power=15 watts

Scenario b:

Work=160J

Time=8 seconds

Power=work ➗ time

Power=160 ➗ 8

Power=20

Power =20 watts

Scenario c:

Work=200J

Time=10 seconds

Power= work ➗ time

Power=200 ➗ 10

Power=20

Power=20 watts

Scenario b and scenario c uses most power
