lightning strikes in the distance and six seconds later Thunder is heard how far away was the lightning strike

1 answer:

8 0

The speed of sound really depends on the temperature and moisture in the air,
and the sound of the thunder doesn't necessarily travel straight from the lightning
to where you are. So we can't say exactly.

But if we use the nominal speed of 340 m/s, then 6 seconds means 2,040 meters,
or about 6,700 feet, or about 1.27 miles.

A 2000 kg car slams on the brakes and slows down at a rate of -10 m/s2. How much force are the brakes applying?

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

-20,000N

Explanation:

Force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s²)

So,

Force = 2000 x -10

= -20,000N (Newtons)

(i). A ball of mass 1.500 kg is attached to the end of a cord 1.50 m long. The ball moves in a horizontal circle. If the cord ca

Aleks04 [339]

(a) Let $v$ be the maximum linear speed with which the ball can move in a circle without breaking the cord. Its centripetal/radial acceleration has magnitude

$a_{\rm rad} = \dfrac{v^2}R$

where $R$ is the radius of the circle.

The tension in the cord is what makes the ball move in its plane. By Newton's second law, the maximum net force on it is

$F = (1.500\,\mathrm{kg}) a_{\rm rad}$

so that

$(1.500\,\mathrm{kg}) \dfrac{v^2}{1.50\,\rm m} = 64.0\,\mathrm N$

Solve for $v$ :

$v^2 = \dfrac{(64.0\,\mathrm N)(1.50\,\mathrm m)}{1.500\,\rm kg} \\\\ \implies \boxed{v = 8.00 \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}$

(b) The net force equation in part (a) leads us to the relation

$F = \dfrac{mv^2}R \implies v = \sqrt{\dfrac{FR}m}$

so that $v$ is directly proportional to the square root of $R$ . As the radius $R$ increases, the maximum linear speed $v$ will also increase, so the cord is less likely to break if we keep up the same speed.

a 700k/g race car slowed down from 30m/s to 15m/s what is the impulse and what was the average force applied by the brakes

posledela

So impulse is a change in momentum.

Mass*(final velocity - initial velocity)

I dont think you will be able to find the average force with the given info because you need to know the time it takes for the car to slow down.
