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.

How can gravitational energy play an important part of my life
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Well, lets say you park your car on the top of a hill, gravitational energy prevents it from the car falling back. Or a snow pack, aka before a potential avalanche. Though gravity cannot keep it safe forever, gravitational energy keeps it from crashing asap. In this case, it gives you time to escape. Altogether, gravitational force keeps the earth in it's atmosphere.

Three heavy rods are all made of the same uniform material. These rods have lengths 3 m, 4 m, and 5 m, and compose the sides of
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

[ 2.67 , 1 ] m

Explanation:

Given:-

- The side lengths of the rods are as follows:

                             a = 4 m , b = 4 m , c = 5 m

                             a = Base , b = Perpendicular , c = Hypotenuse

- All rods are made of same material with uniform density. With  

Find:-

Find the coordinates of the center of mass of the triangle.

Solution:-

- The center of mass of any triangle is at the intersection of its medians.

- So let’s say we have a triangle with vertices at points (0,0) , (a,0) , and (0,b).

  • Median from (0,0) to midpoint (a/2,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

                                       bx−ay=0

  • Median from (a,0) to midpoint (0,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

                                      bx+2ay=ab

  • Median from (0,b) to midpoint (a/2,0) of opposite side has equation:

                                     2bx+ay=ab

  • Solve all three equations simultaneously:

                                     bx−ay=0  , bx = ay

                                     ay + 2ay = ab , 3ay = ab , y = b/3

                                     bx = b/3

                                     x = a / 3

  • So the distance from the median to each leg of the triangle is 1/3 length of other leg.

- So the coordinates of the centroid for right angle triangle would be:

                                   [ 2a/3 , b/3 ]

                                   [ 2.67 , 1 ] m

What type of plate boundary do most volcanoes occur along
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Subducting convergent boundary

Explanation:

Generally, volcanoes occurs in both divergent and convergent boundaries. But the convergent boundary it occurs is usually associated with subduction.

Divergent boundary, plates move away from each other creating a new crust in the process. The diverging plates creates the space for magma to be squeezed through cracks and fissures. The magma's erupt to form volcanoes. In the Atlantic ocean the spreading of the plates causes an upwelling of magma through the crest of the Atlantic ridges. New oceanic crust are formed through this process. Sometimes the magma eruption forms volcanoes  that are higher than the sea level.

Convergent boundary , plates collides with each other . But in the case of volcanoes existence , the collision should be between a denser  plate(oceanic plates) and a less dense plates(continental plates) so that subduction can take place. The subducted plates (oceanic plates)  creates trenches and get expose to high temperature and pressure as it sinks toward the mantle. The upper mantle rocks melts and migrate to the earth surface forming volcanoes . Over 75% of the volcanoes occur along the pacific basin where convergent boundary is dominant. Pacific ring of fire has one of the most number of volcanoes.

For a sound coming from a point source, the amplitude of the sound is inversely
gayaneshka [121]

Answer ) Sound level equation

The intensity of a sound wave is related to its amplitude squared by the following relationship: I=(Δp)22ρvw I = ( Δ p ) 2 2 ρ v w . Here Δp is the pressure variation or pressure amplitude (half the difference between the maximum and minimum pressure in the sound wave) in units of pascals (Pa) or N/m2.
