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.

Light travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 300000 m/s. What is the acceleration of light?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

As light travels in a straight line at a constant speed, it's acceleration is <u>0 m/s²</u>.

There is no rate of change of speed, so there is no acceleration.

  • <u>0 m/s²</u> is the right answer.

A 3600 kg rocket traveling at 2900 m/s is moving freely through space on a journey to the moon. The ground controllers find that
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

m=417.24 kg

Explanation:  

Given Data

Initial mass of rocket  M = 3600 Kg

Initial velocity of rocket vi = 2900 m/s  

velocity of gas vg = 4300  m/s

Θ = 11° angle in degrees

To find

m = mass of gas  

Solution

Let m = mass of gas    

first to find Initial speed with angle given

So

Vi=vi×tanΘ...............tan angle

Vi= 2900m/s × tan (11°)

Vi=563.7 m/s

Now to find mass

m = (M ×vi ×tanΘ)/( vg + vi tanΘ)

put the values as we have already solve vi ×tanΘ

m = (3600 kg ×563.7m/s)/(4300 m/s + 563.7 m/s)

m=417.24 kg

A sled starts from rest,
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

25.6 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the sled.  There are two forces acting on the sled:

Normal force pushing perpendicular to the hill

Weight force pulling straight down

Take sum of the forces parallel to the hill:

∑F = ma

mg sin θ = ma

a = g sin θ

a = (9.8 m/s²) (sin 38.0°)

a = 6.03 m/s²

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 6.03 m/s²

t = 4.24 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (6.03 m/s²) (4.24 s) + (0 m/s)

v = 25.6 m/s
