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.

A car is designed to get its energy from a rotating
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

(a). The kinetic energy stored in  the fly wheel is 46.88 MJ.

(b). The time is 1.163 hours.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 1.50 m

Mass = 475 kg

Power P= 15.0 hp = 15.0\times746=11190 watt

Rotational speed = 4000 rev/min

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

I=\dfrac{1}{2}mr^2

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{1}{2}\times475\times(1.50)^2

I=534.375\ kg m^2

(a). We need to calculate the kinetic energy stored in  the fly wheel

Using formula of K.E

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2

Put the value into the formula

K.E = \dfrac{1}{2}\times534.375\times(4000\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60})^2

K.E=46880620.9\ J

K.E =46.88\times10^{6}\ J

K.E =46.88\ MJ

(b). We need to calculate the length of time the car could run before the flywheel  would have to be brought backup to speed

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{46.88\times10^{6}}{11190}

t=4189.45\ sec

t=1.163\ hours

Hence, (a). The kinetic energy stored in  the fly wheel is 46.88 MJ.

(b). The time is 1.163 hours.

Leftover planetesimals that formed in the region of the solar system now occupied by the jovian planets are called
rewona [7]

Answer:

Comets

Explanation:

Comets are planetary celestial bodies consisting of ice and dust, sometimes rocky particles  formed in the region of the solar system. Long-period comets propagate towards the Sun by gravitational perturbations caused by passing stars. Some comets usually hyberbolic comets, move through the inner Solar System  prior to entering the interstellar region. Short period comet lies beyond the orbit of the Neptune.

The Jovian planets include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Therefore, leftovers of comets (planetesimal bodies) formed in the region of the solar system that are now occupied by the Jovian planets is due to the dusty particles  associated with the comets.

What are the average velocity and average acceleration of the tip of a 2.4 cm long hour hand of a clock?
ra1l [238]
A circle has a revolution of 360°. Since there are 12 hour markings, each hour interval has an angle of 30°. In radians, that would be equal to π/6 radians. So, in every 1 hour that passes, it covers π/6 of an angle. So, the angular velocity denoted as ω is π/6 ÷ 1 hour = π/6 rad/h. We can compute the average linear velocity, v, from the relationship:

v = rω, where r is the radius of the circle which is the length of the hour hand
v = (2.4 cm)(π/6 rad/h)
v = 1.257 cm/hour

Therefore, the average velocity is 1.257 cm per hour.

For the average acceleration, it is equal to zero. The hands of the clock move at a constant velocity. Since acceleration is the change of velocity per unit time, there is no change of velocity because it's constant. That's why it is zero.
