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

A major artery with a cross sectional area of 1.00cm^2 branches into 18 smaller arteries, each with an average cross sectional a
dybincka [34]

Here we can say that rate of flow must be constant

so here we will have

A_1v_1 = 18 A_2v_2

now we know that

A_1 = 1 cm^2

A_2 = 0.4 cm^2

now from above equation

1 cm^2 v_1 = 18(0.400 cm^2)v_2

\frac{v_2}{v_1} = \frac{1}{18\times 0.4}

\frac{v_2}{v_1} = 0.14

so velocity will reduce by factor 0.14

Briefly explain how a resonance tube works​
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

As the tines of the tuning fork vibrate at their own natural frequency, they created sound waves that impinge upon the opening of the resonance tube. These impinging sound waves produced by the tuning fork force air inside of the resonance tube to vibrate at the same frequency.

Consider the numbers 23.68 and 4.12. The sum of these numbers has ____ significant figures, and the product of these numbers has
damaskus [11]

Answer:multiplying will give us 7 significant figures and addition will give us 3 significant figures

Explanation:

After multiplying the two numbers they resulting value will give a value in its 4 decimal places because both given values are in 2 decimal places. The 4 dp is gotten by the addition of the decimal places of both given numbers (2+2) and

The result of its addition will give us a value in its 1dp and 3 significant figures since the addition of 23.68 and 4.12 will give us 27.8
