<span>A light-year measures the distance that light travels in 1 year.
Answer : B ) Distance
-Hope this helps.</span>
Let the observer be 'd' distance away from the thunderstorm and let light take 't' time to reach the observer
Since the speed of sound and light remains constant in a particular medium, we can use
Speed = Distance/Time
For light,
3 x 10^8 = d/t
t = d/(3 x 10^8) -1
For sound,
339 = d/(t + 30) -2
Putting value from 1 in 2.
d = 10^4 m(approx)
Answer: a) vcar= 7 m/s ; b) a train= 0.65 m/s^2
Explanation: By using the kinematic equation for the car and the train we can determine the above values of the car velocity and the acceletarion of the train, respectively.
We have for the car
distance = v car* t, considering the length of train (81.1 m) travel by the car during the first 11.6 s
the v car = distance/time= 81.1 m/11.6s= 7 m/s
In order to calculate the acceleration we have to use the kinematic equation for the train from the rest
distance train = (a* t^2)/2
distance train : distance travel by the car at constant speed
so distance train= (vcar*36.35)m=421 m
the a traiin= (2* 421 m)/(36s)^2=0.65 m/s^2
