Suppose that you hear a clap of thunder 16.2 s (seconds) after seeing the associated lightning stroke. The speed of sound waves

in air is 343 m/s and the speed of light in air is 3.00*10^8 m/s. How far are you from the lightning stroke?

Since the speed of sound is very high, we consider the time period of thunder and lightening negligible.

Now, d = vt

thus, d = 343 x 16.2

thus, d = 5556.6 metres

Thus, we are 5556.6 metres away from lightening ( approximately)

A bullet with a mass of 0.3 kg is fired out of a gun with a mass of 4 kg at 600 m/s. What is the recoil velocity on the gun?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

According to the Conservation of Momentum,

Momentum of the gun = momentum of the bullet

M(gun)×V(gun)=m(bullet)×v(bullet)

4kg × V = 0.3kg × 600m/s²

V = (0.3 × 600)/4 = 45 m/s

The recoil velocity on the gun is <em><u>45 m/s</u></em>

<h3><u>45 m/s</u> is the right answer.</h3>

you travel 4.0km east, 4.0km north, then 5.0km at 53.1 degrees north of west in a total of 5 hours. What is the magnitude and di
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall convert all the displacement in vector form .

i and j represents east and north respectively .

D₁ = 4 i

D₂ = 4 j

D₃ = - 5 cos 53.1 i + 5 sin 53.1 j

= -3i + 4 j

Total displacement = D₁ + D₂ + D₃

= 4i + 4 j - 3i + 4 j

= i + 8j

magnitude of displacement = √( 1² + 8² )

= 8.06 km

velocity = 8.06 / 5

= 1.61 km / h

Direction from x axis in anticlockwise direction .

Tanθ =  8 / 1 = 8

θ = 83° north of east .

The mass of 29000 N elevator is
Lana71 [14]

<span>In this case we are given a force of 29,000 N. We know that the equation we  can use is:</span>

Force = mass * acceleration

 

However this is not just any type of force, because this is the weight of the elevator. So when the force is equal to weight, the acceleration acting is simply gravity. Therefore:

 

weight = mass * gravity

 

Calculating for mass:

mass = 29,000 N / (9.8 m/s^2)

<span>mass = 2,959.18 kg</span>

A 2.0m long pendulum is released from rest when the support string is at an angle of 25 degrees with the vertical. What is the s
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

v=1.92m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Length h=2.0m

Angle α=25°

To find

Speed of bob

Solution

From conservation of energy we know that:

P.E=K.E\\mgh=(1/2)mv^{2}\\ gh=(1/2)v^{2}\\v^{2}=\frac{gh}{0.5}\\ v=\sqrt{\frac{gh}{0.5}}\\ v=\sqrt{\frac{(9.8m/s^{2} )(2.0-2.0Cos(25^{o} ))}{0.5}}\\v=1.92m/s

Marking as brainliest last attempt
arsen [322]

Answer:

Bullying in the schools has negative effects on individual students and on the school climate as a whole. Bullying can cause long-term problems for both the victims of bullying and the bullies themselves. To explore the effects of bullying on adolescents, we will define bullying, identify the characteristics of bullies and victims, outline the extent and consequences of bullying, and present resources for further information and assistance.

Bullying is any behavior that is initiated by one or more students against a victim or victims that causes physical or psychological intimidation. Bullying behaviors can be classified as either direct (such as teasing, threatening, hitting, or stealing) or indirect (such as rumor spreading or social isolation). Boys typically employed direct methods of bullying, while girls tend to use in direct methods. Either way, behaviors must occur repeatedly overtime to be classified as bullying.

Characteristics of Bullies and Victims

There are specific behaviors that bullies tend to exhibit. The bullies often need to feel powerful and in control. They may feel no remorse when they inflict injury and suffering on others. Bullies tend to defy authority and are likely to break school rules. They seem to have little anxiety and appear to possess high self-esteem. Students who come from homes characterized by physical punishment tend to be more likely to exhibit these types of behaviors.

Victims also tend to exhibit specific characteristics. They are often anxious, insecure, cautious, and have low self-esteem. Victims tend to be socially isolated, and may lack social skills and friends. Because they tend to be weaker than their peers, either physically or socially, victims rarely retaliate against bullies. Students who have close ties with their parents/guardians or who have overprotective parents/guardians are more likely to be victimized by bullies.
