Answer. Time taken to hear the thunder is : 7500 / 343 = 21.88 Seconds.

Answer:

≈ 22 seconds

Explanation:

7,5 km = 7500 m

Speed of light 300 000 000 m/s (for lightning)

Speed of sound 343 m/s (for thunder)

time = distance / speed

lightning time = 7500 m / 300 000 000 m/s = 0.000025 s

thunder time = 7500 m / 343 m/s ≈ 22 s

thunder time - lightning time = 22 s - 0.000025 s ≈ 22 s

The armature windings of a dc motor have a resistance of 5.0 Ω. The motor is connected to a 120-V line, and when the motor reach

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The current in the motor in this case is 13.2 A

Explanation:

Given:

Resistance $R =$ 5 Ω

Emf $E = 120$ V

Induced emf $E _{induced} = 108$ V

When motor run at half speed due to load increased then induced emf is also reduced to half of its value

So new induced emf in our case is given by,

$E_{induced } = \frac{108}{2} = 54$ V

$I = \frac{V}{R}$

Where $V =$ $E - E_{Induced }$

$I = \frac{120-54}{5}$

$I = 13.2$ A

Therefore, the current in the motor in this case is 13.2 A

If the Force exerted by the intern is doubled and the distance is halved, does the done by the intern increase, decrease, or rem

Aliun [14]

Answer:

If the force exerted by the intern is doubled and the distance is halved, the work done by the intern remains the same. Work done is the force applied to move a body through a distance.

The mass of a hypothetical planet is 1/100 that of Earth and its radius is 1/4 that of Earth. If a person weighs 600 N on Earth,

omeli [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the Newtonian concept of gravitational acceleration produced by a planet. This relationship is given by:

$g = \frac{GM}{r^2}$

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius

The values given are based on the constants of the earth, so they can be expressed as

$M_p = \frac{1}{100} M_e$

$r_p = \frac{1}{4} r_e$

The relationship of gravity would then be given:

$g_e = \frac{GM_e}{r_e^2}$

The relationship with the new planet, from the gravity of the earth would be given

$g_p = \frac{GM_p}{r_p^2}$

$g_p = \frac{G(1/100)M_e}{(1/4 r_e)^2}$

$g_p = \frac{GM_e 16}{100 r_e^2}$

$g_p = 0.16 \frac{GM_e}{r_e^2}$

$g_p = 0.16g_e$

The relationship with the weight of the earth would be given as:

$W_e = m*g_e = 600N$

$W_p = m*g_p = m(0.16g_p)$

$W_p = (m*g_p)(0.16)$

$W_p = 600*0.16$

$W_p = 96N$

Therefore the weigh on this planet would be 96N
