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 $5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s$

sashaice [31]

Answer:

Time interval;Δt ≈ 37 seconds

Explanation:

We are given;

Angular deceleration;α = -1.6 rad/s²

Initial angular velocity;ω_i = 59 rad/s

Final angular velocity;ω_f = 0 rad/s

Now, the formula to calculate the acceleration would be gotten from;

α = Change in angular velocity/time interval

Thus; α = Δω/Δt = (ω_f - ω_i)/Δt

So, α = (ω_f - ω_i)/Δt

Making Δt the subject, we have;

Δt = (ω_f - ω_i)/α

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

Δt = (0 - 59)/(-1.6)

Δt = -59/-1.6

Δt = 36.875 seconds ≈ 37 seconds

A car is moving north on a freeway. If a bug is flying south on the freeway, is the momentum of the bug positive or negative?

faltersainse [42]

Negative

Because the car is moving up and the bug is moving down. but it also depends on the weather so choice between one of those two I think is Negative but I may be wrong.

frutty [35]

Answer:

The distance in kilometers is 4012 × $10^{-6}$ km.

Explanation:

We know that the conversion of 1 millimeters is equal to $10^{-3}$ meter. And then the conversion of 1 meter is equal to $10^{-3}$ km. Then the conversion of 1 millimeter to km will be

1 mm = $10^{-3}$ m

1 m = $10^{-3}$ km

So, 1 mm = $10^{-3}$ × $10^{-3}$ km = $10^{-6}$ km.

As here the the distance is 4012 mm, then the distance in km will be

4012 mm = 4012 × $10^{-6}$ km.

So the distance is 4012 × $10^{-6}$ km.
