Given Information:  

Elapsed time = t = 6 seconds

Required Information:

Distance = d = ?

Answer:

Distance = d = 2.058 km

Explanation:

We know that the speed of sound in the air is given by

v = 343 m/s

The relation between distance, speed and time is given by

distance = speed*time

substituting the given values yields,

distance = 343*6

distance = 2058 m

There are 1000 meters in 1 km so

d = 2058/1000

d = 2.058 km

Therefore, the storm is about 2.058 km away when elapse time between the lightning and the thunderclap is 6 seconds.

What kind of image does the lens in a camera produce? real and upside down real and right-side up virtual and upside down virtua
Vlada [557]

Answer:

<u>real and upside down </u>

Explanation:

Lens of a camera gathers light and focuses it on the light detector or film strip. <u>A real and inverted (upside -down) image is formed. </u>This image is then stored and processed and inverted. Thereafter we see an upright image. A chemical reaction on the film strip stores the image. In a digital lens, a light detector such as CCD stores the image.

Arrange the listed objects according to their angular speeds, from largest to smallest.
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 )  tire of radius 0.381 m rotating at 12.2 rpm

12.2 rpm = 12.2 /60 rps

n = .20333 rps

angular speed

= 2πn

= 2 x 3.14 x .20333

= 1.277 rad / s

2 ) a bowling ball of radius 12.4 cm rotating at 0.456 rad/s

angular speed = .456 rad/s

3 ) a top with a diameter of 5.09 cm spinning at 18.7∘ per second

18.7° per second = (18.7 / 180) x 3.14 rad/s

= .326  rad/s

4 )

a rock on a string being swung in a circle of radius 0.587 m with

a centripetal acceleration of 4.53 m/s2

centripetal acceleration = ω²R

ω is angular velocity and R is radius

4.53 = ω² x .587

ω  = 2.78 rad / s

5 )a square, with sides 0.123 m long, rotating about its center with corners moving at a tangential speed of 0.287 m / s

The radius of the circle in which corner is moving

= .123 x √2

=.174 m

angular velocity = linear velocity / radius

.287 / .174

1.649 rad / s

The perfect order is

4 ) > 5> 1 >2>3.

The velocity of an object is equal to the distance divided by time. The equation is velocity = distance/time. If you wanted to c
Korolek [52]

Answer: C) divide: distance ÷ velocity

Explanation:

The velocity V equation is distance d divided by time t:

V=\frac{d}{t}

If we isolate t we will have:

t=\frac{d}{V}

Hence, the correct option is C: distance divided by velocity.

A seesaw made of a plank of mass 10.0 kg and length 3.00 m is balanced on a fulcrum 1.00 m from one end of the plank. A 20.0-kg
lidiya [134]

Answer:

7.5 kg

Explanation:

We are given that

m_1=10 kg

Length of plank, l=3 m

Distance of fulcrum from one end of the plank=1 m

m_2=20 kg

We have to find the mass must be on the other end if the plank remains balanced.

Let m be the mass must be on the other end if the plank remains balanced.

In balance condition

20\times 1=10\times (1.5-1)+m\times (1.5+0.5)

20=10(0.5)+2m

20=5+2m

2m=20-5=15

\implies m=\frac{15}{2}

m=7.5 kg

Hence, mass 7.5 kg   must be on the other end if the plank remains balanced.
