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 dog can hear sounds in the range from 15 to 50,000 Hz. What wavelength corresponds to the upper cut-off point of the sounds at

Svet_ta [14]

Give that,

The frequency range the dog can hear is 15Hz to 50,000Hz

The wavelength of sound in air at 20°C =?

Speed of sound is 344

The frequency corresponding to the lower cut-off point is the lowest frequency which his 15Hz

F=15Hz

The relationship between the wavelength, speed and frequency is given as

v=fλ

Then,

λ=v/f

λ=344/15

λ=22.93m

if the angle btw the incline and horizontal surface is increased what will happen the magnitude of force needed to hold the obje

Scilla [17]

Answer:

The force needed will be greater to hold the object at rest.

Explanation:

For a better understanding let's take a look at the attached image.

In the image there is an example of this condition, we have an object of 3 kg-f mass, the first angle between the horizontal and the inclined plane is 35°. When we increase the angle to 45°. We can realize that we need to hold the object with a stronger force.

The calculation and the equations based on Newton's laws can be found in the attached image.

mojhsa [17]

It will not explode since the mass of the cotton balls is so low but rather will most likely break the lock and hinges and come out.
