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.

An irrigation canal has a rectangular cross section. At one point whare the canal is 16.0 m wide, and the water is 3.8 m deep, t
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The depth of the water at this point is 0.938 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

At one point

Wide= 16.0 m

Deep = 3.8 m

Water flow = 2.8 cm/s

At a second point downstream

Width of canal = 16.5 m

Water flow = 11.0 cm/s

We need to calculate the depth

Using Bernoulli theorem

A_{1}V_{1}=A_{2}V_{2}

Put the value into the formula

16.0\times3.8\times2.8=16.5\times x\times 11.0

x=\dfrac{16.0\times3.8\times2.8}{16.5\times11.0}

x=0.938\ m

Hence,  The depth of the water at this point is 0.938 m.

zysi [14]

Answer:

Yes , i also need answer

Explanation:

n earthquake emits both P-waves and S-waves that travel at different speeds through the Earth. A P-wave travels at 9 000 m/s and an S-wave at 4 000 m/s. If P-waves are received at a seismic station 34.0 s before an S-wave arrives, how far is the station from the earthquake center

A bee flies at a constant rate of 5 m s until it notices a flower. It then comes to rest in 5 seconds. Find the acceleration of
JulsSmile [24]
Vi=5m/s because that was the speed before it started decelerating
Vf=0m/s because it says it comes to rest
t=5s because it says in the question

a=Vf-Vi/t
a=5m/s/5s
a=1m/s^2
