Answer: Lightning is mostly light and electricity, this light that is hitting is going at a rate of 299,792.458 km per second (or 186,282 miles per second) this is so much compared to sound which only travels at about 761 mph (or approximately 332 meters per second). Fun fact: The lightening you are seeing is that coming back to the cloud because the process happens so fast.

An RL circuit contains a resistor with R = 6800 Ω and an inductor with L = 2300 µH. If the impedance of this circuit is 160,000
Rainbow [258]

| Impedance | = √ [R² +(ωL)²]

R² = 6800² = 4.624 x 10⁷
 
(ωL)² = (2 · π · f · 2.3 · 10⁻³)²

          = 2.0884 x 10⁻⁴  f²

| Z | =  √[ (4.624 x 10⁷) + (2.0884 x 10⁻⁴ f²) ]  =  1.6 x 10⁵

     (1.6 x 10⁵)²  =  (4.624 x 10⁷) + (2.0884 x 10⁻⁴ f²)

     (2.56 x 10¹⁰) - (4.624 x 10⁷)  =  2.0884 x 10⁻⁴ f²


Frequency² =   (2.56 x 10¹⁰ - 4.624 x 10⁷)  /  2.0884 x 10⁻⁴

                    =       2.555 x 10¹⁰ / 2.0884 x 10⁻⁴

                    =          1.224 x 10¹⁴ 

                    =          122,400 GHz          <== my calculation

                                      11.1 MHz           <== online impedance calculator

Obviously, I must have picked up some rounding errors
in the course of my calculation.

4A. How high is a 12 kg monkey in a tree if it has 509 J of gravitational potential Energy?
True [87]

4A. PE = MxGxH. (You can consider g as 9.8 / 10m/s as well)

509 J = 12x10xH

509 J = 120xH

H = 509/120

H = 4.24 m

Hope u got the answer....pls rate the answer if it is helpful for u....and I'm sorry I could not understand B part so I didn't do it.

Thank you

what has more momentum, a baseball traveling at 4 m/s or a baseball traveling at 16m/s ? and which has more energy ?
Anna007 [38]
We know the formulas for momentum and energy. But they both involve the mass of
the object, and we don't know the mass of the baseball.  What can we do ?

It's not a catastrophe.  The question only asks which one is bigger.  If we're clever,
we can answer that without ever knowing how much the momentum or the energy
actually is.  We know that both baseballs have the same mass, so let's just call it
' M ' and not worry about what it really is.

<u>Momentum of anything = (mass) x (speed)</u>
Momentum of the first baseball = (M) x (4 m/s) = 4M
Momentum of the second one = (M) x (16 m/s) = 16M
The second baseball has 4 times as much momentum as the first one has.

<u>Kinetic energy of anything = 1/2 (mass) x (speed squared)</u>
KE of the first baseball = 1/2 (M) x (4 squared) = 8M
KE of the second one = 1/2 (M) x (16 squared) = 128M
The second baseball has 16 times as much kinetic energy as the first one has.
