Answer:

d = 1700 meters

Explanation:

During a rainy day, as a result of colliding clouds an observer saw lighting and a heard thunder sound.  The time between seeing the lighting and hearing the sound was 5 second, t = 5 seconds

Speed of sound, v = 340 m/s (say)

Let d is the distance of the colliding cloud from the observer. The distance covered by the object. It is given by :

d=v\times t

d=340\ m/s\times 5\ s  

d = 1700 meters

So, the distance of the colliding cloud from the observer is 1700 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

1. increases

2. increases

3. increases

Explanation:

Part 1:

First of all, since the box remains at rest, the horizontal net force acting on the box must equal zero:

F1 - fs = 0.

And this friction force fs is:

fs = Nμs,

where μs is the static coefficient of friction, and N is the normal force.

Originally, the normal force N is equal to mg, where m is the mass of the box, and g is the constant of gravity. Now, there is an additional force F2 acting downward on the box, which means it increases the normal force, since the normal force by Newton's third law, is the force due to the surface acting on the box upward:

N = mg + F2.

So, F2 is increasing, that means fs is increasing too.

Part 2:

As explained in the part 1, N = mg + F2. F2 is increasing, so the normal force is thus increasing.

Part 3:

In part 1 and part 2, we know that fs = Nμs, and since the normal force N is increasing, the maximum possible static friction force fs, max is also increasing.

An open diving chamber rests on the ocean floor at a water depth of 60 meter. Find the air pressure (gage pressure relative to t
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Gauge Pressure required = 606.258 kPa

Explanation:

Water will not enter the chamber if the pressure of air in it equals that of the water which tries to enter it.

Thus at a depth of 60m we have pressure of water equals

P(z)=P_{0}+\rho _wgh

Now the gauge pressure is given by

P(z)-P_{0}=\rho _wgh

Applying values we get

P(z)-P_{0}=\rho _wgh\\\\P_{gauge}=1.03\times 1000\times 9.81\times 60Pa\\\\P_{gauge}=606258Pascals\\\\P_{gauge}=606.258kPa

A flat sheet of ice has a thickness of 1.4 cm. It is on top of a flat sheet of crown glass that has a thickness of 3.0 cm. Light
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

t = 2.13 10-10 s , d = 6.39 cm

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the definition of refractive index

        n = c / v

Where n is the refraction index, c the speed of light and v the speed in the material medium.

The refractive indices of ice and crown glass are 1.13 and 1.52, respectively, therefore the speed of the beam in the material medium is

        v = c / n

As the beam strikes perpendicularly, the beam path is equal to the distance of the leaves, there is no refraction, so we can use the uniform motion relationships

        v = d / t

        t = d / v

        t = d n / c

Let's look for the times on each sheet

Ice

        t₁ = 1.4 10⁻² 1.31 / 3 10⁸

        t₁ = 0.6113 10⁻¹⁰ s

Crown glass (BK7)

        t₂ = 3.0 10⁻² 1.52 / 3.0 10⁸

        t₂ = 1.52 10⁻¹⁰ s

Time is a scalar therefore it is additive

         t = t₁ + t₂

         t = (0.6113 + 1.52) 10⁻¹⁰

         t = 2.13 10-10 s

The distance traveled by this time in a vacuum would be

        d = c t

       d = 3 10⁸ 2.13 10⁻¹⁰

       d = 6.39 10⁻² m

       d = 6.39 cm
