before she heard thunder
Physics

alekssr [168]3 years ago
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.

What is the restoring force of a pendulum
salantis [7]

Answer:

the Restoring force causes the vibrating object to go slower going further from the equilibrium position and to go faster as it approaches the equilibrium position. the restoring force is what is causing the vibration The tension force comes from the string tugging on the bob of the pendulum.

Two speedboats are traveling at the same speed relative to the water in opposite directions in a moving river. An observer on th
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

a) vboat = 5.95 m/s  b) vriver= 1.05 m/s

Explanation:

a) As observed from the shore, the speed of the boats can be expressed as the vector sum, of the boat speed relative to the water and the river speed relative to the shore, as follows:

vb₁s = vb₁w + vrs

In one case, the boat is moving in the same direction as the water:

vb₁s = vb₁w + vrs = 7.0 m/s (1)

For the other boat, it is clear that is moving in an opposite direction:

vb₂s = vb₂w - vrs = 4.9 m/s (2)

As  we know that vb₁w = vb₂w, adding both sides, we can remove the river speed from the equation, as follows:

vb₁w = vb₂w =  \frac{7.0 m/s + 4.9 m/s}{2} =5.95 m/s

b) Replacing this value in (1) and solving for vriver, we have:

vriver = 7.0 m/s - 5.95 m/s = 1.05 m/s

(we could have arrived to the same result subtracting both sides in (1), and (2))

If you attach a 100 g mass to the spring whose data are shown in the graph, what will be the period of its oscillations?
ycow [4]

if for a force of 0.5 N we have a displacement of -0.02m we can calculate the elastic constant(k) with the formula F=-kx(F=0.5N x=-0.02)

k=F/x k=0.5/0.02=25N/m

now we can calculate the period by the formula

T=2π√(m/k)

in the mass we convert grams to kilograms so 100g=0.1kg

T=6.28√(0.1/25)⇒T=0.39seconds
