The answer is A. Cirrus clouds occur at the highest altitude.
C. Mechanical, because temperature can cause solid objects to expand and contract, causing rocks to split apart.
Answer:
If you count the number of seconds between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder, and then divide by 5, you'll get the distance in miles to the lightning: 5 seconds = 1 mile, 15 seconds = 3 miles, 0 seconds = very close. Keep in mind that you should be in a safe place while counting.

Answer:
vi = 4.77 ft/s
Explanation:
Given:
- The radius of the surface R = 1.45 ft
- The Angle at which the the sphere leaves
- Initial velocity vi
- Final velocity vf
Find:
Determine the sphere's initial speed.
Solution:
- Newton's second law of motion in centripetal direction is given as:
m*g*cos(θ) - N = m*v^2 / R
Where, m: mass of sphere
g: Gravitational Acceleration
θ: Angle with the vertical
N: Normal contact force.
- The sphere leaves surface at θ = 34°. The Normal contact is N = 0. Then we have:
m*g*cos(θ) - 0 = m*vf^2 / R
g*cos(θ) = vf^2 / R
vf^2 = R*g*cos(θ)
vf^2 = 1.45*32.2*cos(34)
vf^2 = 38.708 ft/s
- Using conservation of energy for initial release point and point where sphere leaves cylinder:
ΔK.E = ΔP.E
0.5*m* ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = m*g*(R - R*cos(θ))
( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))
vi^2 = vf^2 - 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))
vi^2 = 38.708 - 2*32.2*1.45*(1-cos(34))
vi^2 = 22.744
vi = 4.77 ft/s
