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

chris and molly wins $2400 in a competition they share the money in the ratio2:3 how much money do they each receive ?​
nlexa [21]

Answer:

chris gets 960 and molly gets 1440

Explanation:

add the ratio up and divide

2+3=5

2400/5=480

480x2=960

480x3=1440

960+1440= 2400

A sled slides down a hill with friction between the sled and hill but negligible alr resistance. Which of the following must be
Andreyy89

Answer:

A) The sum of the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy changes by an amount equal to the energy dissipated by friction,

Explanation:

  • The kinetic energy is the energy that the object has and is defied by the work that is needed to accelerate the body.
  • The gravitational potential is a mechanism by which an equal amount of energy is being transferred per unit mass that is needed for the object to move from the specific location.
  • Hence when the sled moves down the hill with the force of gravity it has negligible resistance as an equal amount of energy is dissipated.

Mike has a mass of 97 kg. He jumps out of a perfectly good airplane that is 2000 m above the ground. After he falls 1000 m, when
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

a)  fr = 224.3 N , b)   fr = 224.3 N , c)   v = 198.0  m/s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise let's start by calculating the acceleration in the fall

             v² = v₀² - 2 a (y-y₀)

When it jumps the initial vertical speed is zero

             a = -v² / 2 (y-y₀)

             a = -68 2/2 (1000-2000)

             a = 2,312 m / s²

Let's use the second net law to enter the average friction force

            fr = m a

            fr = 97 2,312

            fr = 224.3 N

b) let's look for acceleration

            v² = v₀² - 2 a y

            a = (v² –v₀²) / 2 (y-y₀)

            a = (4² - 68²) / 2 (0-1000)

            a = 2,304 m / s²

            fr = m a

            fr = 97 2,304

            fr = 223.5 N

c) the speed of the wallet is searched with kinematics

           v² = v₀² - 2 g (y-y₀)

           v = √ (0-2 9.8 (0-2000))

           v = 198.0  m/s

The sun _____.
enyata [817]

The sun <u><em>appears</em></u> brighter than any other star.

(It isn't really, but it looks that way because it's much much much much much much closer to us than any other star.)

A ball is thrown downward with an initial speed of 7 m / s. The ball's velocity after 3 seconds is m / s. (g = -9.8m / s²)
yan [13]

Answer:

-36.4 m/s

Explanation:

final velocity= initial velocity + acceleration x time

7 + (-9.8)(3)= -36.4 m/s
