"Calculate the speed of this sound wave by recording how much time it takes to travel 5 meters. Use the (old school) velocity eq

uation: v = d/t Show units in your work. Answer: 292.39 m/s= 5 meters/.0171 secs." and here's the question I need help with: "Based on the speed you measured above, how long would it take for you to hear thunder if you observed lightning and it was seen to be 1620 meters away?"

1) sound velocity reported by you : 292.39 m /s

2) time to travel 1620m at that velocity: t = d / v = 1620 m / 292.39 m/s = 5.54 s, since the moment the sound wave started.

3) You might wanted to tell the time since you watched the lightning.

Then you can calculate the time since the lighting was generated,1620 m away from you, until you saw it, using the speed of light:

 speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s => t = 1620 m / (3*10^8m/s) =0.0000054 s

Then, this time is completely neglectible, and yet the answer is 5.54 s, as calculated in the step 2.

A 10kg box accelerates forward at a rate of 12 m/s^2. What is the force acting on the box?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

120N

Explanation:

Newton's second law formula: F= ma

given that m = 10 kg, a = 12 m/s^2

F = ma = 10 kg * 12 m/s^2 = 120 kgm/s^2 = 120 N

Which statement best describes a wave?
dedylja [7]

Correct answer choice is:

D. A continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next.

Explanation:

Waves include the carrier of energy without the carrier of matter. In outcome, a wave can be characterized as a change that progresses into a medium, carrying energy from one spot (its source) to different spot without carrying matter.

Consider an oil droplet of mass m and charge q. We want to determine the charge on the droplet in a Millikan-type experiment. We
Katen [24]

Answer:

q=\frac{mg}{E_o}              

Explanation:

Given:

Charge = <em>q</em>

Electric field strength =E_o

weight of the droplet = <em>mg</em>

The charge is suspended motionless. This is because the electric force on the charge is balanced by the weight of the droplet.

electric force on charged droplet, F=qE_o

This is balanced by the weight, mg

Equating the two:

qE_o=mg\\\Rightarrow q=\frac{mg}{E_o}
