Answer:

Distance = 2.4\ km

Explanation:

Given

Time (t) = 6.8s

Temperature = 28C

Required

Determine the distance at which the lighting struck

First, we need to determine the speed at which the lighting struck because the peed of sound varies with temperature.

At about 28C, the speed of sound is 346m/s

So, we have the following:

Speed = 346m/s

Time = 6.8s

Distance is calculated as thus:

Distance = Speed * Time

Distance = 346m/s * 6.8s

Distance = 2352.8

Divide by 1000 to get distance equivalent in kilometers

Distance = \frac{2352.8km}{1000}

Distance = 2.3528km

Distance = 2.4\ km ---- Approximated

<span>3) Neither precise or accurate. This is because of the deviation between the measurements, they vary and are not within a good range. And they are not close to the accepted value. In order to be precise the measurements have to be relatively close to each other, and to be accurate they have to be close to the accepted value.</span>

Joe and Max shake hands and say goodbye. Joe walks east 0.50 km to a coffee shop, and Max flags a cab and rides north 3.45 km to
timama [110]

Answer:

3.486 km

Explanation:

Suppose Joe and Max's directions are perfectly perpendicular (east vs north). We can calculate their distance at the destinations using Pythagorean theorem:

s = \sqrt{J^2 + M^2}

where J = 0.5 km and M= 3.45 km are the distances between Joe and Max to their original parting point, respectively. s is the distance between them.

s = \sqrt{0.5^2 + 3.45^2} = \sqrt{12.1525} = 3.486 km

A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axi
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

the balls reached a height of 4.9985 m

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass one m = 3.8 kg

mass two M = 2.1 kg

Initial velocities

u = 22 m/s

U = { moving downward} = 12 m/s

Now, using the law conservation of linear moment;

mu + MU = v( m + M )

we solve for "v" which is the velocity of the ball s after collision;

v = (mu + MU) / ( m + M )

so we substitute our given values into the equation

v = ( ( 3.8 × 22 ) + ( 2.1 × -12) ) / ( 3.8 + 2.1 )

v = ( 83.6 - 25.2 ) / 5.9

v = 58.4 / 5.9

v = 9.898 m/s

Now, we determine required height using the following relation;

v"² - v² = 2gh

where v" is the velocity at the top which is 0 m/s and g = -9.8 m/s²

0 - v² = 2gh

v² = -2gh

so we substitute

( 9.898 )² = -2 × -9.8  × h

97.97 = 19.6 × h

h = 97.97 / 19.6

h = 4.9985 m

Therefore, the balls reached a height of 4.9985 m

**URGENT PLEASE HELP**
nalin [4]

Answer:

This depends on what angle they are approaching each other before they collided.The two simple cases are if they are running in the same direction or opposite direction from each other. For either case, use the conservation of momentum equation to solve: M_total*V_result = M1*V1 + M2*V2

Explanation:

Here are two possible solutions.

Head-on collision: M1=78, V1=8.5, M2=72, V2=-7.5 (that's negative because he's running the other way), M_total = 78+72 = 150, so V_result = (78*8.5 - 72*7.5)/150 = 0.82 m/s. Sanity check, they weigh about the same and so most of their velocity should cancel out.

Running the same way: change the sign of V2 to positive so V_result = (78*8.5 + 72*7.5)/150 = 8.02 m/s. Sanity check, they weigh about the same and the resultant speed is between the two starting velocities.

<em>hope it helps:)</em>
