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

A car enters a level, unbanked semi-circular hairpin turn of 100 m radius at a speed of 28 m/s. The coefficient of friction betw
meriva

Answer:

As  28m/s = 28m/s

Explanation:

r = the radius of the curve

m =  the mass of the car

μ = the coefficient of kinetic friction

N = normal reaction

When rounding the curve, the centripetal acceleration is

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

therefore

\mu mg = m \frac{v^{2}}{r} \\\\ \mu =  \frac{v^{2}}{rg}

v = \sqrt{\mu rg}

\mu = \sqrt{0.8 \times 100\times9.8} \\\\= 28m/s

As  28m/s = 28m/s

A 50.0 kg person is walking horizontally with constant acceleration of 0.25 m/s² inside an elevator. The elevator is also accele
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The acceleration is in 2 D as in between east and south.

Explanation:

mass, m = 50 kg

acceleration, a = 0.25 m/s^2 horizontal

acceleration of elevator, a' = 1 m/s^2 downwards

When a person on the ground the resultant acceleration of the person with respect to the ground is between east and south direction so the path os parabolic in nature. It graph is shown below:
