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

Suppose a police officer is 1/2 mile south of an intersection, driving north towards the intersection at 40 mph. At the same tim
blagie [28]

Answer:

75.36 mph

Explanation:

The distance between the other car and the intersection is,

x=x_{0}+V t \\ x=\frac{1}{2}+V t

The distance between the police car and the intersection is,

y=y_{0}+V t

y=\frac{1}{2}-40 t

(Negative sign indicates that he is moving towards the intersection)

Therefore the distance between them is given by,

z^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}(\text { Using Phythogorous theorem })

z^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}+V t\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}-40 t\right)^{2} \ldots \ldots \ldots(1)

The rate of change is,

2 z \frac{d z}{d t}=2\left(\frac{1}{2}+V t\right) V+2\left(\frac{1}{2}-40 t\right)(-40)

2 z \frac{d z}{d t}=V+2 V^{2} t-40+3200 t \ldots \ldots \ldots

Now finding z when t=0, from (1) we have

z^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}+V(0)\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}-40(0)\right)^{2}

z^{2}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \\ z=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \approx 0.7071

The officer's radar gun indicates 25 mph pointed at the other car then, \frac{d z}{d t}=25 when t=0, from

From (2) we get

2(0.7071)(25)=V+2 V^{2}(0)-40+3200(0)

2(0.7071)(25)=V+2 V^{2}(0)-40

35.36=V-40

V=35.36+40=75.36

Hence the speed of the car is 75.36 mph

If an object has a mass of 14 kg, what is it’s weight
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Weight = 137.2 kg.m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Given

mass of an object, m = 14 kg

Weight (W) is given by the formula:

W = mg , where m is mass of the object and g is acceleration due to gravity and the value is 9.8 m/s^{2}

Hence W = 14 kg x 9.8 m/s^{2}

                = 137.2 kg.m/s^{2}
