Answer:

t = 4.58 s

Explanation:

In this problem, we need to find the time elapse between seeing lightning and hearing the thunder if the lightning strikes 1mi (5280 ft) away and the air temperature is 90.0°F.

T = 90.0°F = 32.2 °C

The speed of sound at temperature T is given by :

v = (331.3 +0.6T)

Put T = 32.2°C

So,

v = (331.3 +0.6(32.2))

= 350.62 m/s

We have, distance, d = 1 mile = 1609.34

So,

t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=4.58\ s

So, the required time is equal to 4.58 seconds.

emmasim [6.3K]

The intensity on a screen 20 ft from the light will be 0.125-foot candles.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>

Distance is a numerical representation of the length between two objects or locations.

The intensity I of light varies inversely as the square of the distance D from the source;

I∝(1/D²)

The ratio of the intensity of the two cases;

\rm \frac{I_1}{I_2} =(\frac{D_2}{D_1} )^2\\\\ \rm \frac{2}{I_2} =(\frac{20}{5} )^2\\\\ \frac{2}{I_2} =4^2 \\\\ I_2= \frac{2}{16} \\\\  I_2= 0.125 \ foot-candles

Hence, the intensity on a screen 20 ft from the light will be 0.125 foot-candles
