Answer: The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Lightening is defined as steady expansion of air within and surrounding path due to the sudden increase in pressure and temperature that leads to emission of lightning.

Basically, lightning is a state of plasma in which the molecules are very rapidly striking with each other as it also contains positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons.

Lightning always leads to the production of thunder.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement not every lightning strike produces thunder, is false.

A railroad freight car, mass 15,000 kg, is allowed to coast along a level track at a speed of 2.0 m/s. It collides and couples w

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of car 1, m₁ = 15,000 kg

Mass of car 2, m₂ = 50,000 kg

Speed of car 1, u₁ = 2 m/s

Initial speed of car 2, u₂ = 0

Let V is the speed of the two cars after coupling. It is the case of inelastic collision. Applying the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V$

$V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}$

$V=\dfrac{15000\ kg\times 2\ m/s+0}{(15000\ kg+50000\ kg)}$

V = 0.46 m/s

So, the speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

You are asked to design a cylindrical steel rod 50.0 cm long, with a circular cross section, that will conduct 170.0 J/s from a furnace at 350.0 ∘C to a container of boiling water under 1 atmosphere.

Explanation:

Given Values:

L = 50 cm = 0.5 m

H = 170 j/s

To find the diameter of the rod, we have to find the area of the rod using the following formula.

Here Tc = 100.0° C

k = 50.2

H = k × A × $\frac{[T_{H -}T_{C} ] }{L}$
