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)

A very long uniform line of charge has charge per unit length λ1 = 4.68 μC/m and lies along the x-axis. A second long uniform li

Kitty [74]

Answer:

$E_{net} = 6.44 \times 10^5 N/C$

Explanation:

As we know that electric field due to infinite line charge distribution at some distance from it is given as

$E = \frac{2k \lambda}{r}$

now we need to find the electric field at mid point of two wires

So here we need to add the field due to two wires as they are oppositely charged

Now we will have

$E_{net} = \frac{2k\lambda_1}{r} + \frac{2k\lambda_2}{r}$

now plug in all data

$\lambda_1 = 4.68 \muC/m$

$\lambda_2 = 2.48 \mu C/m$

$r = 0.200 m$

now we have

$E_{net} = \frac{2k}{r}(4.68 + 2.48)$

$E_{net} = \frac{2(9\times 10^9)}{0.200}(7.16 \times 10^{-6})$

$E_{net} = 6.44 \times 10^5 N/C$

A high-jumper, having just cleared the bar, lands on an air mattress and comes to rest. Had she landed directly on the hard grou

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

e. the air mattress exerts the same impulse, but a smaller net avg force, on the high-jumper than hard-ground.

Explanation:

This is according to the Newton's second law and energy conservation that the force exerted by the hard-ground is more than the force exerted by the mattress.

The hard ground stops the moving mass by its sudden reaction in the opposite direction of impact force whereas the mattress takes a longer time to stop the motion of same mass in a longer time leading to lesser average reaction force.

Mathematical expression for the Newton's second law of motion is given as:
