Answer:

300 m/s

Explanation:

The difference in time between the two bangs is 1 s.

Thus;

t2 - t1 = 1

We know that distance/time = speed.

Thus;

d2/v - d1/v = 1

Multiply through by v to get;

d2 - d1 = v

Where v is speed of sound in air.

d1 = 350 m

d2 = (150 × 2) + 350 = 650 m

Thus;

v = d2 - d1 = 650 - 350 = 300 m/s

In the combo circuit diagrammed, R1 = 19.2 Ω, R2 = 20.7 Ω, and R3 = 25.8 Ω. Find the equivalent resistance of the circuit.
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Equivalent resistance: 13.589 Ω

Explanation:

R series = R1 + R2 + R3 ...

\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = \frac{1}{R1} +\frac{1}{R2} +\frac{1}{R3} ...

Find the equivalent resistance of the right branch of the circuit:

R_{eq}  = R_{2} +R_{3} \\R_{eq} = 20.7 + 25.8 = 46.5 ohms

\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = \frac{1}{19.2} +\frac{1}{46.5}\\\\\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = 0.0735887097\\\\R_{eq} = 13.5890411

An office window has dimensions 3.1 m by 2.1 m. As a result of the passage of a storm, the outside air pressure drops to 0.954 a
Virty [35]

Answer:

Net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Dimension of the office window.

Length of the window = 3.1 m

Width of the window = 2.1 m

Area of the window = (3.1\times 2.1) = 6.51\ m^2

Difference in air pressure = Inside pressure - Outside pressure

                                           = (1.0-0.954) atm = 0.046 atm

Conversion of the pressure in its SI unit.

⇒  1 atm = 101325 Pa

⇒ 0.046 atm = 0.046\times 101325 =4660.95 Pa

We have to find the net force.

We know,

⇒ Pressure = Force/Area

⇒ Pressure=\frac{Force }{Area}

⇒ Force =Pressure\times Area

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ Force =4660.95\times 6.51

⇒ Force=30342.78 Newton (N)

So,

The net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

You see lightning and 30 seconds later you hear thunder. how far away is the thunderstorm? take the speed of sound to be 339 m/s
Jobisdone [24]
Let the observer be 'd' distance away from the thunderstorm and let light take 't' time to reach the observer
Since the speed of sound and light remains constant in a particular medium, we can use
      Speed = Distance/Time

For light,
   3 x 10^8 = d/t
                t = d/(3 x 10^8)   -1 

For sound,
           339 = d/(t + 30)       -2

Putting value from 1 in 2.
               d = 10^4 m(approx)
