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

MissTica

Answer:

 v_f = 24.3 m / s

Explanation:

A) In this exercise there is no friction so energy is conserved.

Starting point. On the roof of the building

         Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m g y₀

Final point. On the floor

         Em_f = K = ½ m v_f²

         Emo = Em_g

         ½ m v₀² + m g y₀ = ½ m v_f²

        v_f² = v₀² + 2 g y₀

         

let's calculate

        v_f = √(10² + 2 9.8 25)

        v_f = 24.3 m / s

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Class characteristics can be define as the features which are common to the group of objects. Like the make, model, label of the manufacturing company, design, shape and form. The individual characteristics can be define as the features which develop on the object or any other article with it's wear and use. Like tear, cuts, malformation and deposition of dust, dirt, and mud. The individual characteristic indicate towards the ownership of article or evidence to a particular person.

The class characteristics can only support the possibility of the evidence exactly alike that of the evidence found at the scene of crime. But the individual characteristics can directly link the evidence with the cause of crime. Hence, will be useful to prove that a crime has taken place in the court of law.
