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 air pressure inside a car tire is
Valentin [98]

Answer:

0.137m²

Explanation:

Pressure = Force/Area

Given

Force = 41,500N

Pressure = 3.00atm

since 1atm = 101325.00 N/m²

3atm = 3(101325.00)

3atm = 303,975N/m²

Pressure = 303,975N/m²

Get the area

Area = Force/Pressure

Area = 41500/303,975

Area = 0.137m²'

Hence the surface area of the  inside of the tire is 0.137m²

People have proposed driving motors with the earth's magnetic field. This is possible in principle, but the small field means th
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

636.619772368 A

Explanation:

\tau = Torque = 1\times 10^{-3}\ N/m

B = Magnetic field of Earth = 5\times 10^{-5}\ T

A = Area

d = Diameter = 20 cm

Current is given by

I=\dfrac{\tau}{BA}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1\times 10^{-3}}{5\times 10^{-5}\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times 0.2^2}\\\Rightarrow I=636.619772368\ A

The current is 636.619772368 A

Can a solution be separated by filtration?​
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Filtration is a method for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid. When a mixture of sand and water is filtered: the sand stays behind in the filter paper (it becomes the residue ) the water passes through the filter paper (it becomes the filtrate )

Train cars are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Suppose two loaded train cars are moving toward one another, t
wolverine [178]

Answer:

final velocity =  0.08585m/s

Explanation:

We are taking train cars as our system. In this system no external force is acting. So we can apply the law of conservation of linear momentum.

The law of conservation of linear momentum states that the total linear momentum of a system remains constant if there is no external force acting on the system. That is total linear momentum before = total linear momentum after

total linear momentum before = linear momentum of first train car + linear momentum of second train car

We know that linear momentum = mv

where,

m = mass

v = velocity

thus,

total linear momentum before = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

m₁ = mass of first train car = 135,000kg

v₁ = velocity of first train car = 0.305m/s

m₂ = mass of first second car =  100,000kg

v₂ = velocity of second train car =  −0.210m/s

Note: Momentum is a vector. So while adding momentum we should take account of its direction too. Here since second train car is moving in a direction opposite to that of the first one, we have taken its velocity as negative.

total linear momentum before = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

                                                  = 135,000x0.305 + 100,000x(−0.210)

                                                  = 135,000x0.305 - 100,000x0.210

                                                  = 20,175 kgm/s

Now we have to find total linear momentum after bumping. After the bumping both the train cars will be moving together with a common velocity(say v).

Therefore, total linear momentum after = mv

m = m₁ + m₂ = 135,000 + 100,000 = 235,000

total linear momentum before = total linear momentum after

235,000v = 20,175

v =  \frac{20,175}{235,000}

  = 0.08585m/s

A large insulating sheet has a surface charge density σ. what is the electric field strength near the insulating sheet?
MakcuM [25]
Free insulative sheets and insulative sheets backed by a grounded conductor are the only cases in which it is possible to extract reliable information from a noncontacting measurement of the charged state of an insulator. In both cases, the electric field from the charge is the deciding factor.<span>
