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

Summarize the Venn diagram.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

If this is a multiple choice question, then the answer is D.

Explanation:

Compounds are composed of atoms, which are composed of subatomic particles and consist of matter. Since they are composed of atoms rather than vice-versa, compounds cannot be found inside atoms and are not the most basic form of matter (ruling out A and C). A pure substance contains atoms, which are each composed of subatomic particles. Therefore, a pure substance must have atoms if it contains subatomic particles (ruling out B). The only answer left is D.
