A common acoustic phenomenon is thunder, the rapid heating and supersonic expansion of air created by a lightning stroke. Becaus

e the speed of light reaches almost any point on Earth instantly while sound travels more slowly, the time lag between lightning and thunder can be used to estimate distance to the lightning. This delay time is ______ seconds per kilometer (5 sec/mi).

Answer:

Δt ≈ 2.9137 ≈ 3 seconds per kilometer

Explanation:

The speed of light is approximately 300000 km /s, while the speed fo the sound in the air is 0.3432 km/s.

The light takes  therefore  this time to travel one kilometer

x = vt              t = \frac{x}{v}

t = \frac{1}{300000}

t = 3.33 x 10^{-6} s

On the other hand the sound takes this time to travel one kilometer

t = \frac{1}{0.3432}

t = 2.9137 s

Then the delay time is 2.9137 - 3.33 x 10^{-6} s

Δt ≈ 2.9137 ≈ 3 s

A total of 25.6 kJ of heat energy is added to a 5.46 L sample of helium at 0.991 atm. The gas is allowed to expand against a fix
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

(a) W = 1329.5 J = 1.33 KJ

(b) ΔU = 24.27 KJ

Explanation:

(a)

Work done by the gas can be found by the following formula:

W = P\Delta V

where,

W = Work = ?

P = constant pressure = (0.991 atm)(\frac{101325\ Pa}{1\ atm}) = 100413 Pa

ΔV = Change in Volume = 18.7 L - 5.46 L = (13.24 L)(\frac{0.001\ m^3}{1\ L}) = 0.01324 m³

Therefore,

W = (100413 Pa)(0.01324 m³)

<u>W = 1329.5 J = 1.33 KJ</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Using the first law of thermodynamics:

ΔU = ΔQ - W (negative W for the work done by the system)

where,

ΔU = change in internal energy of the gas = ?

ΔQ = heat added to the system = 25.6 KJ

Therefore,

ΔU = 25.6 KJ - 1.33 KJ

<u>ΔU = 24.27 KJ</u>

An electron is moving in the presence of an electric field of 400 N/C. What force does the electron experience?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Electric Field strength E=400\ N/C

charge of electron q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Force on the charge particle is given by

F=qE

F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 400

F=640\times 10^{-19}\ N

but this force will be acting in the direction opposite to the direction of Electric field because electron is negatively charged

Phantasy [73]

Force equals mass time acceleration. Weight is a force and it can replace force in the equation. The acceleration would be gravity, which is an acceleration.

1.)

Fw (weight) = m (mass) · g (gravity, 9.8 m/s²)

Fw = m * 9.81 m/s²

560N = m · 9.81 m/s²

m ≈ 57.08 kg

2.)

d = 350 meters

t = 65 seconds

velocity = d/t

velocity = 350 meters / 65 seconds

velocity ≈ 5.38 meters/sec

3.)

Force = 35N

Distance = 2 meters

Work = Force · Distance

Work = 35N · 2 meters

Work = 70 J
