Answer:

d=5.376km

Explanation:

Since <em>light is so fast</em> we can assume no time passes between the lightning strikes and we observe it. We want to know then how far away did the strike occur for the sound to take 16s to reach our ears. Since the definition of velocity tells us that v=d/t, we can write d=vt=(336m/s)(16s)=5376m=5.376km

The hot glowing surfaces of stars emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. It is a good approximation to assume tha
belka [17]

Given that,

Energy H=2.7\times10^{31}\ W

Surface temperature = 11000 K

Emissivity e =1

(a). We need to calculate the radius of the star

Using formula of energy

H=Ae\sigma T^4

A=\dfrac{H}{e\sigma T^4}

4\pi R^2=\dfrac{H}{e\sigma T^4}

R^2=\dfrac{H}{e\sigma T^4\times4\pi}

Put the value into the formula

R=\sqrt{\dfrac{2.7\times10^{31}}{1\times5.67\times10^{-8}\times(11000)^4\times 4\pi}}

R=5.0\times10^{10}\ m

(b). Given that,

Radiates energy H=2.1\times10^{23}\ W

Temperature T = 10000 K

We need to calculate the radius of the star

Using formula of radius

R^2=\dfrac{H}{e\sigma T^4\times4\pi}

Put the value into the formula

R=\sqrt{\dfrac{2.1\times10^{23}}{1\times5.67\times10^{-8}\times(10000)^4\times4\pi}}

R=5.42\times10^{6}\ m

Hence, (a). The radius of the star is 5.0\times10^{10}\ m

(b). The radius of the star is 5.42\times10^{6}\ m

A block of mass 3 kg slides down a frictionless inclined plane of length 6 m and height 4 m. If the block is released from rest
Ludmilka [50]
(if it's frictionless the length doesn't even matter :) )
It would have the same kinetic energy down as the potential energy up. That is, mgh=\frac{mv^2}{2} or 2gh=v^2 (the mass doesn't even matter). The result is \sqrt{2gh}, so only the height matters really. It is almost 9 (it is \sqrt{80}=4\sqrt{5}).

What is the largest four subsystems?​
AnnZ [28]

Explanation:

Everything in Earth's system can be placed into one of four major subsystems: land, water, living things, or air. These four subsystems are called "spheres." Specifically, they are the "lithosphere" (land), "hydrosphere" (water), "biosphere" (living things), and "atmosphere" (air).
