"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.

Explain the importance of resistors in a circuit. Cite some instances to prove this example.
Arisa [49]
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses. High-power resistors that can dissipate many watts of electrical power as heat, may be used as part of motor controls, in power distribution systems, or as test loads for generators. Fixed resistors have resistances that only change slightly with temperature, time or operating voltage. Variable resistors can be used to adjust circuit elements (such as a volume control or a lamp dimmer), or as sensing devices for heat, light, humidity, force, or chemical

A lens with f = +11cm is paired with a lens with f = −25cm. What is the focal length of the combination?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

19.642 cm

Explanation:

f₁ = Focal length of first lens = 11 cm

f₂ = Focal length of second lens = -25 cm

Combined focal length formula

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{f_1}+\frac{1}{f_2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{11}+\frac{1}{-25}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}=\frac{14}{275}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{275}{14}\\\Rightarrow f=19.642\ cm

Combined focal length is 19.642 cm

A ball rolls down a hill and hits a box. The momentum of the ball decreases. Which happens to the momentum? Select one of the op
Irina-Kira [14]
<span>So we want to know what happens to the momentum of the ball that rolls down hill and hits a box. So we need to use the law of conservation of momentum which states that the momentum must be conserved. It cant be transformed into inertia or mass. It can only be transferred to other object via some interactions like collisions. So it has to be a. transferred to the box and that is the correct answer. </span>
