What is the time lapse between seeing a lightning strike and hearing the thunder if the lightning flash is 47 km away? The speed

of light waves in air is 3 × 108 m/s and the speed of sound waves in air is 333 m/s.

Answer:

141.14098 secs

Explanation:

Time taken to see the lightning flash can be gotten from:

Velocity = distance/time

Time = distance/velocity

Time = (47 * 1000)/(3 * 10^8)

Time = 0.0001567 secs

Time taken to hear the thunder can be gotten from:

Velocity = distance/time

Time = distance/velocity

Time = (47 * 1000)/(333)

Time = 141.14114 secs

The time lapse between the lightning flash and the thunder will be:

141.14114 - 0. 0001567

= 141.14098 secs

SCORPION-xisa [38]
Answer: 134.23g at 0° (horizontal) and 77.5g at 90° (vertical).

Explanation:

1) Since the mass of <span>155 g is suspended at 210 degrees, you need to find the components of its weight on the orthogonal coordinate system (0° and 90°).
</span>

<span>2) You do that using the trignometric ratios sine and cosine.
</span>

<span>Weight is mass × g.
</span>
<span>Weight of the object = 155g × g
</span>
<span>Angle, α = 210°
</span>

<span>Horizontal component (0°)
</span>
<span>cosα = horizontal / hypotenuse ⇒ horizontal = hypotenuse × cosα
</span>
⇒ horizontal = 155g × g × cos(210°) = - 134.23g  × g

Vertical component
sinα = vertical / hypotenuse ⇒ vertical = hypotenuse × sinα
⇒ vertical = 155g × g × sin(210°) = -77.5g × g

3) Conclusion:

Therefore, the masses that must be suspended to balance the forces of the 155g mass are 134.23g at 0° (horizontal) and 77.5g at 90° (vertical).

Which changes involve forming or breaking chemical bonds?
Ivahew [28]

Answer: burning and melting

Combustion (burning of molecules) is an exothermic oxidation-reduction reaction. When the combustion is intense, it results in a flame or an explosion (deflagration or detonation if the flame front exceeds the speed of sound).

This chemical reaction is a recombination of molecules. It goes through an intermediate step during which the molecules are "destructured" but not yet recombined; these are called radicals and are very reactive. In the case of combustion, the radicals are created by chemical bond breakage due to thermal energy, and they will be able to act on the molecules of the product (releasing other radicals) and thus generating a chain reaction that will continue as long as the following two conditions are met: presence of fuel and oxidizer.

Digestion is a food processing that is ingested into smaller particles that can or can not be assimilated by the body.
