Answer:

3400 m

Explanation:

Both lightning and thunder happen at the same time but one is faster than the other. The distance traveled by a sound can be calculated from its speed such that;

 speed = distance/time, hence, distance = speed x time.

<em>For a thunder with 340 m/s speed and 10 seconds away from lightning, the distance between the thunder and the lightning can be calculated as</em>;

distance = 340 m/s x 10 s = 3400 m

The velocity of sound in air at 300C is approximately :
kumpel [21]

The velocity of sound in at 300C is 511.3 m/s.

Explanation:

The equation that gives the speed of sound in ar as a function of the air temperature is the following:

v=(331.3+0.6T) m/s

where

T is the temperature of the air, measured in Celsius degrees

In this problem, we want to find the speed of sound in ar for a temperature of

T=300^{\circ}C

Substituting into the equation, we find:

v=331.3 + 0.6(300)=511.3 m/s

So, the velocity of sound in at 300C is 511.3 m/s.

Find the position of the center of mass of the system of the sun and Jupiter? (Since Jupiter is more massive than the rest of th
8090 [49]

Answer:

r_{cm} = 0.074 m from the position of the center of the Sun

Explanation:

As we know that mass of Sun and Jupiter is given as

M_s = 1.98 \times 10^{30} kg

M_j = 1.89 \times 10^{27} kg

distance between Sun and Jupiter is given as

r = 7.78 \times 10^{11} m

now let the position of Sun is origin and position of Jupiter is given at the position same as the distance between them

so we will have

r_{cm} = \frac{M_s r_1 + M_j r_2}{M_s + M_j}

r_{cm} = \frac{1.98 \times 10^{30} (0) + (1.89 \times 10^{27})(7.78 \times 10^{11})}{1.98 \times 10^{30} + 1.89 \times 10^{27}}

r_{cm} = 0.074 m from the position of the center of the Sun

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

497.00977 N

3742514.97005

Explanation:

\rho = Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

C = Drag coefficient = 0.09

v = Velocity of dolphin = 7.5 m/s

r = Radius of bottlenose dolphin = 0.5/2 = 0.25 m

A = Area

Drag force

F_d=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow F_d=\frac{1}{2}\times 1000 \times 0.09(\pi 0.25^2)7.5^2\\\Rightarrow F_d=497.00977\ N

The drag force on the dolphin's nose is 497.00977 N

at 20°C

\mu = Dynamic viscosity = 1.002\times 10^{-3}\ Pas

Reynold's Number

Re=\frac{\rho vd}{\mu}\\\Rightarrow Re=\frac{1000\times 7.5\times 0.5}{1.002\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow Re=3742514.97005

The Reynolds number is 3742514.97005

Newton began his academic career in 1667. For how long was he a working scientist? Was he a very productive scientist?
rjkz [21]
Newton's 3 laws are...

inertia: things tend to continue to do what they are doing.

Change: to make something change you need a force to change it. the force needed = the mass times its acceleration

<span> Resistance: When you push on something, it pushes back.
