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.

A light string is wrapped around the edge of the smaller disk, and a 1.50 kg block is suspended from the free end of the string.
LenaWriter [7]

Answer: 7.41 m/s

Explanation: By using the law of of energy, kinetic energy of the brick as it falls equals the potential energy before falling.

Kinetic energy = mv²/2, potential energy = mgh

mv²/2 = mgh

v²/2 = gh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

Where g = 9.8 m/s², h = 2.80m

v = √2×9.8×2.8 = 7.41 m/s

zheka24 [161]
An image that appears upside down behind the focal point is an image that is reflected on a concave mirror. Mirrors reflect different kinds of images based on the placement of an object that is reflected towards it. There are two kinds of mirrors, concave and a convex mirrors, the latter makes objects seem smaller and farther than where it is exactly.

An iron bar has more mass than a plastic bar of the same volume. so the iron bar will have greater inertia.
Irina-Kira [14]

The response is False, both bars, iron bars and plastic bars have de same inertia, this characteristic does not depend on the type of material, the inertia depends on his transverse section, since we can estimate in the following formula

<span>Area moment of inertia Ixx = BH3/12</span>

<span>Area moment of inertia Iyy= HB3/12</span>
