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 2.0-kg laptop sits on the horizontal surface of the seat of a car moving at 8.0 m/s. The driver starts slowing down to stop. F
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: 32.65\ m

Explanation:

Given

mass of laptop m=2 kg

The velocity of car u=8 m/s

The coefficient of static friction is \mu_s=0.4

The coefficient of kinetic friction is \mu_k=0.2

As the car is moving, so the coefficient of kinetic friction comes into play

deceleration offered by friction \mu_kg=0.2\times 9.8\ m/s^2

Using the equation of motion v^2-u^2=2as\\

insert the values

0^2-8^2=2(-0.2\times 9.8)s\\\\s=\dfrac{64}{1.96}\\\\s=32.65\ m

A block lies on a frictionless floor. a force of 5 n pulls toward the east while a force of 4 n pulls toward the north. what is
sveticcg [70]

Given below the arrangement of loading on the larger boat by two tug boats.

F₁ = 5 N

F₂ = 4 N

Angle between them θ = 90⁰

Resultant between two vectors, F=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2cos\theta }

Substituting

   F = \sqrt{5^2+4^2+2*5*4*cos 90} \\ \\ = 6.403 N

So magnitude of the net force on the block = 6.403 N

It is estimated that uranium is relatively common in the earth's crust, occurring in amounts of 4 g / metric ton. A metric ton i
timama [110]

Answer:

The mass of Uranium present in a 1.2mg sample is 4.8 \cdot 10^{-6}\,mg

Explanation:

The ration between Uranium mass and total sample mass is: \frac{4g}{1000kg} =\frac{4g}{1000000g}=\frac{1}{250000}

For a sample of mass 1.2 mg, the amount of uranium is:

1.2\, mg \cdot \frac{1}{250000}=4.8 \cdot 10^{-6}\,mg
