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.

Which number is 0.0069 expressed in scientific notation? 6.9 × 10 4 6.9 × 10 –6 6.9 × 10 –4 6.9 × 10 –3
Komok [63]

Given: The number = 0.0069 that has to be expressed in scientific notation

Concept: When we express any number in scientific notation then we shall consider two points.

(i) If we shift the decimal point from left to right after first (non-zero) digit then we count the number of shifted place of decimal and write them in terms of the negative power of 10. For example,  0.004789 = 4.789 ×10⁻³

(ii) If we shift the decimal point from right to left after first (non-zero) digit from the left end then we count the number of shifted place and write then in terms of the positive power of 10. For example,  4789.24 = 4.78924 ×10⁺³ = 4.78924 ×10³ Now, we shall convert the given number 0.0069 in scientific notation

0.0069  = 6.9 ×10⁻³ because we have shifted the decimal from left to right for three places that is after digit 6.

Hence, the last option 6.9 ×10⁻³ will be the correct option.

A 2.0-kg ball rolls to the right at 3.0 m/s. A 4.0-kg ball rolls to the left at 2.0 m/s . What is the momentum of the system aft
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Final momentum after a head on collision is -2kgm/s

Explanation:

         One ball moves to the right and the other moves opposite  and momentum is a vector quantity so that considering the direction

Initial momenta are        P₁=2x3=6kgm/s        P₂=4x(-2)=-8kgm/s      

Final momentum is the vector sum of P(final)= 6-8= -2 kgm/s
