If you hear a clap of thunder in a time of 16.2s after seeing the associated lightning strike, you are: 5508 m far from the lightning strike
To solve this problem we must consider that the speed of light is greater than the speed of sound, therefore to calculate the distance we must use the speed of sound (340 m/s).
The formula and procedure we will use to solve this exercise is:
x = v * t
Where:
- x = distance
- t = time
- v = velocity
Information about the problem:
- v(sound) = 340 m/s
- t = 16.2 s
- x=?
Applying the distance formula we have that:
x = v * t
x= 340 m/s * 16.2 s
x = 5508 m
<h3>What is velocity?</h3>
It is a physical quantity that indicates the displacement of a mobile per unit of time, it is expressed in units of distance per time, for example (miles/h, km/h).

Newton's second law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and the direction of change of momentum takes place towards direction of applied force.

Answer:
7.48 x 10⁵ m
Explanation:
g = 7.86 N/kg
M = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg, R = 6.37 x 10⁶ m.
Find height h
g = GM/(R + h)²
(R + h)² = GM/g = 6.67 x 10⁺¹¹ x 5.97 x 10²⁴ /7.86 = 5.066 x 10¹³
R + h = 7.12 x 10⁶ m
so
h = 7.12 x 10⁶ - 6.37 x 10⁶ = 7.48 x 10⁵ m
Explanation:
Fluid gauge pressure is:
P = ρgh
where ρ is the fluid density and h is the depth of the fluid.
P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (1642 m)
P = 16,091,600 Pa
Rounded to four significant figures, the gauge pressure is 16.09 MPa.
