3 0

Explanation:

It is based upon the fact that " The light travels faster then sound." As the speed of light is faster then the speed of sound, light travels 300,000 km per second and sound travels 1192 km per hour. That is why we observe the lightening first and hear the the sound of thunder later.

        You can do this experiment by yourself. Once you see the lightening start counting the seconds until you hear the sound of thunder.Then divide the seconds by 5, you will find out how many miles away the lightening strike was.

the initial velocityof a particle along x axis is u at t=0 x=0 and its acceleration is given by a =2x then whats the correct equ
miskamm [114]

Answer:

v² = u² + 2x²

Explanation:

v² = u² + 2as​ is only valid for constant acceleration.  Here, the acceleration is a function of position.  We can find the function of velocity by integrating.  Acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time:

a = 2x

dv/dt = 2x

Apply chain rule:

dv/dt = dx/dt × dv/dx

dv/dt = v × dv/dx

Therefore:

v dv/dx = 2x

Separate the variables and integrate:

v dv = 2x dx

½ v² |ᵤᵛ = x² |₀ˣ

½ (v² − u²) = x²

v² − u² = 2x²

v² = u² + 2x²

According to Einstein's prediction, which of the following happens to the mass of an object in a moving internal reference frame
avanturin [10]

Answer:

option (A)

Explanation:

The a body having rest mass is mo is moving with velocity v which is of the order of velocity of light in vacuum, so the mass of the body increases. According to the formula

m=\frac{m_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}} \right )}}

As the velocity increases, the mass m of the body increases. As the velocity of the object is equal to the velocity of light in vacuum, then the mass of the body becomes infinite.

what does 1N equal? It happens to be one of the questions on my "Newton's Laws of Motion Exercises" paper. ​
san4es73 [151]
1 Newton is equal to the amount of force required to accelerate an object at a rate of 1 metre per second, every second. One newton is the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in direction of the applied force.
