Lightning flashes one mile (1609 m) away from you. How much time does it take the light to travel that distance?

Physics

hichkok12 [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

t=5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s

Explanation:

Given that,

Lightning flashes one mile (1609 m) away from you.

We need to find the time it take the light to travel that distance. Let the time be t. We know that,

speed = distance/time

t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{1609}{3\cdot10^{8}}\\\\=5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s

So, the required time is 5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s

A proton has been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of -1350 V. What is the proton's kinetic energy, in elect
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

1 eV = 1.60 * 10^-19 J      work done in accelerating electron thru 1 V

KE (total energy) = 1350 ^ 1 eV     (note proton goes from +  to -)

KE = 1.60 * 10^-19 * 1350 = 2.16 * 10^-16 Joules

1/2 m v^2 = KE = 2.16 * 10^-16 J

v^2 = 4.32 * 10E-16 / 1.67 * 10-27 = 2.59 * 10^11

v = 5.09 * 10^5 m/s

The pressure and volume of a fixed mass of gas _ are related. if one decreases, the other ___ ___ this relationship is known as
mihalych1998 [28]
1) Inversely
2) increases
3) Boyle's
4) mass
5) Kelvin
6) Charles's
7) Gay-Lussac's
8) directly
9) combined
10) the amount

<span>The pressure and volume of a fixed mass of gas are inversely related. If one decreases, the other increases. This relationship is known as Boyle's law. The volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to its kelvin temperature. This relationship is known as Charles's law. Gay-Lussac's law states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature if the volume remains constant. These three separate gas laws can be written as a single expression called the combined gas law. It can be used in situations in which only the amount of gas is constant. </span>

A river flows due east at 1.70 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant v
ad-work [718]

Answer:

a)

v = 14.1028 m/s  

∅ = 83.0765° north of east

b)

the required distance is 40.98 m

Explanation:

Given that;

velocity of the river u = 1.70 m/s

velocity of boat v = 14.0 m/s

Now to get the velocity of the boat relative to shore;

( north of east), we say

a² + b² = c²

(1.70)² + (14.0)² = c²

2.89 + 196 = c²

198.89 = c²

c = √198.89

c = 14.1028 m/s  

tan∅ = v/u = 14 / 1.7 =  8.23529

∅ = tan⁻¹ ( 8.23529 ) = 83.0765° north of east

Therefore, the velocity of the boat relative to shore is;

v = 14.1028 m/s  

∅ = 83.0765° north of east

b)  

width of river = 340 m,

ow far downstream has the boat moved by the time it reaches the north shore in meters = ?

we say;

340sin( 90° - 83.0765°)

⇒ 340sin( 6.9235°)

= 40.98 m

Therefore, the required distance is 40.98 m
