Answer:

About two kilometers away

\rm distance=2.401\ km

Explanation:

Given:

The time gap between the light and sound to travel to the house, t=7\ s

<em>Since the clouds are formed in the troposphere region of the atmosphere which extends from 8 kilometers to 12 kilometers above the earth-surface and the velocity of light is 300000 kilometers per second so it is visible almost instantly, hence we neglect the time taken by the light to travel to the house from the clouds.</em>

<u>∴Distance between the lightning-strike and the house:</u>

\rm distance=v\times t

we have the speed of sound as: v=343\ m.s^{-1}

So,

\rm distance=343\times 7

\rm distance=2401\ m

\rm distance=2.401\ km

During a race, a runner runs at a speed of 6 m/s. 2 seconds later, she is running at a speed of 10 m/s. What is the runner’s acc
Lapatulllka [165]
Let's calculate the average acceleration. It is the rate of changing speeds. Hence, we need to calculate the difference of speeds. 10-6=4 m/s. The rate is now \frac{4m/s}{2s} =2m/s^2.
In general, the formula for the mean acceleration between two times 1 and 2 is given by:
\frac{u_2-u_1}{T} where v1 and v2 are the speeds at the respective points and T is the time interval between them.

A 0.5-kg ball moving at 5 m/s strikes a wall and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 2 m/s. If the impulse occurs
mart [117]

<em>Given that:</em>

                       mass of the ball (m) = 0.5 Kg ,

                    ball strikes the wall (v₁) = 5 m/s ,

rebounds in opposite direction (v₂) = 2 m/s,

                                time duration (t) = 0.01 s,

        <em> Determine the force (F) = ?</em>

We know that from Newton's II law,

                                <em>F = m. a</em>  Newtons  

                                  (velocity acting in opposite direction, so <em>a = ( (v₁ + v₂)/t</em>

                                   = m × (v₁ + v₂)/t

                                   = 0.5 × (5 + 2)/0.01

                                  = 350 N

<em>The force acting up on the ball is 350 N</em>
