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 height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170 m on a day when its temperature is 35.0°C. What will the change in i
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m

Explanation:

Thermal coefficient of marble varies between (5.5 - 14.1) ×10⁻⁶/K = α

So, let us take the average value

(5.5+14.1)/2 = 9.8×10⁻⁶ /K

Change in temperature = 35-(-18) = 53 K = ΔT

Original length = 170 m = L

Linear thermal expansion

\frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\frac{\alpha\Delta T}{L}\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=9.8\times 10^{-6}\times 53\times 170

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m (subtraction because of cooling)

Remember to include your data, equation, and work when solving this problem.
andrezito [222]

Answer:

F = 0.00156[N]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's proposed universal gravitation law.

F=G*\frac{m_{1} *m_{2} }{r^{2} } \\

Where:

F = gravitational force between the moon and Ellen; units [Newtos] or [N]

G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67 * 10^-11 [N^2*m^2/(kg^2)]

m1= Ellen's mass [kg]

m2= Moon's mass [kg]

r = distance from the moon to the earth [meters] or [m].

Data:

G = 6.67 * 10^-11 [N^2*m^2/(kg^2)]

m1 = 47 [kg]

m2 = 7.35 * 10^22 [kg]

r = 3.84 * 10^8 [m]

F=6.67*10^{-11} * \frac{47*7.35*10^{22} }{(3.84*10^8)^{2} }\\ F= 0.00156 [N]

This force is very small compare with the force exerted by the earth to Ellen's body. That is the reason that her body does not float away.

The rear window in a car is approximately a rectangle, 2.0 m wide and 0.65 m high. The inside rearview mirror is 0.50 m from the
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

0.43 m

Explanation:

Angle of incident and angle of reflection is same.

tan Θh = L' / x (eye)

L' = Length of the window

x (eye) = Distance of the mirror from the eye

tan Θh = L / (x (eye) + xw)

xw = Distance of the mirror from the window

L'/ x (eye) = L / ( x (eye) + xw)

L' = L*x (eye) / ( x (eye) + xw)

L' = (2*0.5) / (0.5 + 1.8)

L' = 0.43 m
