Answer:

1.6031 miles

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed = 344 m/s

Time = 7.5 seconds

To find how many miles away was the lighting strike;

Mathematically, the distance travelled by an object is calculated by using the formula;

Distance = speed * time

Distance = 344 * 7.5

Distance = 2580 meters

Next, we would have to convert the value of the distance travelled in meters to miles;

Conversion:

1609.344 metres = 1 mile

2580 meters = X mile

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X * 1609.344 = 2580

X = 2580/1609.344

X = 1.6031 miles

A 2.50 gram rectangular object has measurements of 22.0 mm, 13.5 mm, and 12.5 mm. what is the objectâs density in units of g/ml?
navik [9.2K]
<span>To calculate the density, we must first calculate the volume of the object. For a rectangle, the volume is equal to V=l*w*h. In this case, V=22*13.5*12.5=3712.5 mm^3. Next we have to convert the mm^3 to mL using the conversion factor of 1 mm^3=.001 mL. To get mL, we set up the expression 3712.5 mm^3 * (.001mL/1mm^3) = 3.7125 mL. Finally, to get the density, we know density is mass over volume, so we set the expression p=m/V=2.5g/3.7125mL=.6734 which rounded to 3 significant figures is .673. The answer will be .673</span>

Two identical cans, one filled with lead shot and the other with feathers, are dropped from the same height by a student standin
Serga [27]

Answer:

<em></em>

<em>The lead shot-filled can experiences a greater force due to gravity because it contains more mass.</em>

Explanation:

The gravitational attractive force that acts on two different bodies on Earth depends on the body's masses. The greater the mass, the stronger the force of gravity acts on the body. The smaller the mass, the weaker the force of gravity acts on the body.

The can with the lead shot in it has a greater mass than that of the can that is filled with feathers. Therefore,<em> the can with the lead shot will experience a greater force due to gravitational attraction of the Earth</em> than that of the can that is filled with feathers.

Please help! What is physical property and what is chemical property?
sladkih [1.3K]
PHysical properties are properties that do not involve changes in the molecular level. In this case, malleability and magnetism are physical. 
Chemical properties involve changes to the substance at the molecular level or change its identity. In this case, reacting with oxygen and nonflammability is a chemical property.
