How many times does lightning strike the empire state building

Physics
1 answer:
Salsk061 [2.6K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Lightning strikes the empire state building at an average of about 23 times a year.

Explanation:

The Empire State Building is one of the tallest buildings in New York. Because of how high it stretches up into the sky, lightning strikes are quite common to it. This is because part of the building touches the clouds which are usually charged during thunder storms.

According to weather reports, and the Empire State Building website, lightning strikes the empire state building about 23 times a year on the average.

A 2 kg object traveling at 5 m s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides head-on with and sticks to a 3 kg object initiall
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: (d)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object m=2\ kg

Speed of object u=5\ m/s

Mass of object at rest M=3\ kg

Suppose after collision, speed is v

conserving momentum

\Rightarrow mu+0=(m+M)v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{2\times 5}{2+3}\\\\\Rightarrow v=2\ m/s

Initial kinetic energy

k_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 5^2\\\\k_1=25\ J

Final kinetic energy

k_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (2+3)\times 2^2\\\\k_2=10\ J

So, it is clear there is decrease in kinetic energy . Thus, energy decreases and velocity becomes 2 m/s.

A ball is launched from ground level and hits the ground again after an elapsed time of 4 seconds and after traveling a horizont
jeka94

Answer:

1)a. It is constant the whole time the ball is in free-fall.

2)b. = 14 m/s

3) e. = 19.6 m/s

Explanation:

1) given that the only force acting on the ball is gravity, gravity acts along the vertical axis. Since no other force acts on the ball then the horizontal velocity will remain constant all through the flight since there is no horizontal force acting on the ball.

2) speed = distance/time

horizontal distance = 56m

Time = 4 seconds

Speed = 56m/4s = 14m/s

3) acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8m/s^2

Initial vertical velocity = u

Final vertical velocity = v = -u

Using the law of motion;

v = u + at

a = acceleration = -g = -9.8m/s^2

t = time of flight = 4

Substituting the values;

-u = u - 4(9.8)

-2u = -4(9.8)

u = -4(9.8)/-2

u = 2(9.8) = 19.6 m/s

Initial vertical velocity = u = 19.6 m/s
