"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.

An increase in the magnitude of velocity is??
bazaltina [42]
It means the speed of the object is increasing
and
there is a positive acceleration in the direction of the velocity
hence
there is a force acting on the object, in the direction of the velocity

2. You decide to lift a 25 kg box to a height of 3 meters. How much work will you do while moving
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

W = 735.75[J]

Explanation:

Work is defined as the product of force by distance. Therefore we can use the following equation.

W=F*d

where:

W = work [J] (units of Joules)

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

d = distance = 3 [m]

But first, we must determine the force that is equal to the product of mass by gravity (weight of the body).

F=m*g\\F=25*9.81\\F=245.25[N]

W=F*d\\W=245.25*3\\W=735.75[J]

A wooden log has to be carried by two people. If one of them is strong and another is weak, how will they carry the log?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

I think it has to do with Newtonian Physics

The bottom person will carry most of the weight because of the direction of the forces involved.

The strong one should be in the back to support the log the most if it is at an angle. The weaker person should be in the front to lift the log up and carry it, but not necessarily put in the same sort of strength. The person who is pushing it up will have a harder time than the person lifting it to make it easier to transport.

Note: I am not an expert at physics, this answer is based on articles on the internet
