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

Explanation:

12) q = mCΔT

125,600 J = (500 g) (4.184 J/g/K) (T − 22°C)

T = 82.0°C

13) Solving for ΔT:

ΔT = q / (mC)

a) ΔT = 1 kJ / (0.4 kg × 0.45 kJ/kg/K) = 5.56°C

b) ΔT = 2 kJ / (0.4 kg × 0.45 kJ/kg/K) = 11.1°C

c) ΔT = 2 kJ / (0.8 kg × 0.45 kJ/kg/K) = 5.56°C

d) ΔT = 1 kJ / (0.4 kg × 0.90 kJ/kg/K) = 2.78°C

e) ΔT = 2 kJ / (0.4 kg × 0.90 kJ/kg/K) = 5.56°C

f) ΔT = 2 kJ / (0.8 kg × 0.90 kJ/kg/K) = 2.78°C

14) q = mCΔT

q = (2000 mL × 1 g/mL) (4.184 J/g/K) (80°C − 20°C)

q = 502,000 J

20) q = mCΔT

q = (2000 g) (4.184 J/g/K) (100°C − 15°C) + (400 g) (0.9 J/g/K) (100°C − 15°C)

q = 742,000 J

24) q = mCΔT

q = (0.10 g) (0.14 J/g/K) (8.5°C − 15°C)

q = -0.091 J

A spherical gas-storage tank with an inside diameter of 8.0 m is being constructed to store gas under an internal pressure of 1.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The minimum wall thickness Tmin required for the spherical tank is 65.90mm

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that,

Tmin = The minimum wall thickness =PD/2бp

where D = diameter of 8.0 m

Internal pressure = 1.62 MPa

Then

The yield strength = 295MPa/3.0 = 98.33

thus,

PD/2бp = 1.62 * 8000/ 2 *98.33

= 12960/196.66 = 65.90

Therefore the wall thickness Tmin required for the spherical tank is 65.90mm

In 10 seconds a car accelerates 4/ms to 60m/s. how fast was the car going before it accelerated?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
Well it seems like this problem gives you what you need.  You said the car was going 4m/s and then accelerated to 60m/s... so 4m/s would be your answer for the initial velocity

What would be the final size of a balloon, at -18*C, if the initial volume is 2.0 L and the initial temperature is 20*C?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

1.7 L

Explanation:

PV = nRT

If P, n, and R are constant:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

(2.0 L) / (293.15 K) = V / (255.15 K)

V = 1.7 L
