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 proton is projected toward a fixed nucleus of charge Ze with velocity vo. Initially the two particles are very far apart. When

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The value is $R_f = \frac{4}{5} R$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial velocity of the proton is $v_o$

At a distance R from the nucleus the velocity is $v_1 = \frac{1}{2} v_o$

The velocity considered is $v_2 = \frac{1}{4} v_o$

Generally considering from initial position to a position of distance R from the nucleus

Generally from the law of energy conservation we have that

$\Delta K = \Delta P$

Here $\Delta K$ is the change in kinetic energy from initial position to a position of distance R from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

$\Delta K = K__{R}} - K_i$

=> $\Delta K = \frac{1}{2} * m * v_1^2 - \frac{1}{2} * m * v_o^2$

=> $\Delta K = \frac{1}{2} * m * (\frac{1}{2} * v_o )^2 - \frac{1}{2} * m * v_o^2$

=> $\Delta K = \frac{1}{2} * m * \frac{1}{4} * v_o ^2 - \frac{1}{2} * m * v_o^2$

And $\Delta P$ is the change in electric potential energy from initial position to a position of distance R from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

$\Delta P = P_f - P_i$

Here $P_i$ is zero because the electric potential energy at the initial stage is zero so

$\Delta P = k * \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R} - 0$

$\frac{1}{2} * m * \frac{1}{4} * v_o ^2 - \frac{1}{2} * m * v_o^2 = k * \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R} - 0$

=> $\frac{1}{2} * m *v_0^2 [ \frac{1}{4} -1 ] = k * \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R}$

=> $- \frac{3}{8} * m *v_0^2 = k * \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R} ---(1 )$

Generally considering from initial position to a position of distance $R_f$ from the nucleus

Here $R_f$ represented the distance of the proton from the nucleus where the velocity is $\frac{1}{4} v_o$

Generally from the law of energy conservation we have that

$\Delta K_f = \Delta P_f$

Here $\Delta K$ is the change in kinetic energy from initial position to a position of distance R from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

$\Delta K_f = K_f - K_i$

=> $\Delta K_f = \frac{1}{2} * m * v_2^2 - \frac{1}{2} * m * v_o^2$

=> $\Delta K_f = \frac{1}{2} * m * (\frac{1}{4} * v_o )^2 - \frac{1}{2} * m * v_o^2$

=> $\Delta K_f = \frac{1}{2} * m * \frac{1}{16} * v_o ^2 - \frac{1}{2} * m * v_o^2$

And $\Delta P$ is the change in electric potential energy from initial position to a position of distance $R_f$ from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

$\Delta P_f = P_f - P_i$

Here $P_i$ is zero because the electric potential energy at the initial stage is zero so

$\Delta P_f = k * \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f } - 0$

$\frac{1}{2} * m * \frac{1}{8} * v_o ^2 - \frac{1}{2} * m * v_o^2 = k * \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f }$

=> $\frac{1}{2} * m *v_o^2 [-\frac{15}{16} ] = k * \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f }$

=> $- \frac{15}{32} * m *v_o^2 = k * \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f } ---(2)$

Divide equation 2 by equation 1

$\frac{- \frac{15}{32} * m *v_o^2 }{- \frac{3}{8} * m *v_0^2 } } = \frac{k * \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f } }{k * \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R } }}$

=> $-\frac{15}{32 } * -\frac{8}{3} = \frac{R}{R_f}$

=> $\frac{5}{4} = \frac{R}{R_f}$

=> $R_f = \frac{4}{5} R$

The core of a 400 Hz aircraft transformer has a net cross-sectional area of 13 cm2. The maximum flux density is 0.9 T, and there

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

32.76 Volt

Explanation:

frequency, f = 400 Hz

Area of crossection, A = 13 cm²

Maximum flux density, B = 0.9 tesla

Number of turns in secondary coil, N = 70

Let the maximum induced voltage is e.

According to the Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the induced emf is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux.

e = dФ/dt

$e=\frac{NBA}{t}$

Time is defined as the reciprocal of frequency.

So, e = N B A f

e = 70 x 0.9 x 13 x 10^-4 x 400

e = 32.76 volt

The radius of the aorta is about 1.4cm , and the blood passing through it has a speed of about 40cm/s .

For the average speed of blood flow in the major arteries of the body is mathematically given as

v2 = 117.29m/s

<h3>What is the average speed of blood flow in the major arteries of the body?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the average speed is mathematically given as

A1 v1 = A2 v2

(pi r1^2) v1 = A2 v2

(3.14x(1.4)^2 )x 40 = (2.1) xV2

v2 = 117.29m/s

In conclusion, the average speed of blood flow

v2 = 117.29m/s
