Depends on how far away the event is and what the temperature is as this affects the speed of sound.

For example, let's say you're 600 meters away and the temperature has no affect.

The speed of sound would be roughly 340 m/s so the time it would take to hear the sound would be 600/340 = 1.76 seconds

The speed of light (c) is 3.0 X 10^8 m/s so the time it would take to see the event would be 600/3 X 10^8 = 2 X 10^-7

Subtract: 1.76 - (2 X 10^-7) = approx. 1.76

A wheel that is rotating at 33.3 rad/s is given an angular acceleration of 2.15 rad/s 2. Through what angle has the wheel turned

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The angle through which the wheel turned is 947.7 rad.

Explanation:

initial angular velocity, $\omega _i$ = 33.3 rad/s

angular acceleration, α = 2.15 rad/s²

final angular velocity, $\omega_f$ = 72 rad/s

angle the wheel turned, θ = ?

The angle through which the wheel turned can be calculated by applying the following kinematic equation;

$\omega_f^2 = \omega_i^2 + 2\alpha \theta\\\\\theta = \frac{\omega_f^2\ -\ \omega_i^2}{2\alpha } \\\\\theta = \frac{(72)^2\ -\ (33.3)^2}{2(2.15)}\\\\\theta = 947.7 \ rad$

Therefore, the angle through which the wheel turned is 947.7 rad.

Why is radiation fog more likely near the center of an anticyclone than near the center of a cyclone?

Zigmanuir [339]

Radiation fog is the fog that is formed when the heat absorbed the Earth's surface is released into the atmosphere producing fog. This only occurs when the air is clear and calm. In the center of an anticyclone, the conditions of the air are clear and calm which is favorable for the formation of radiation fog. The center of cyclones, on the other hand, is turbulent and cloudy which prevents the formation of radiation fogs.
