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.

A basketball player shoots toward a basket 4.9 m away and 3.0 m above the floor. If the ball is released 1.8 m above the floor a
Zolol [24]

Answer:

  v₀ = 6.64 m / s

Explanation:

This is a projectile throwing exercise

          x = v₀ₓ t

          y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

In this case they indicate that y₀ = 1.8 m and the point of the basket is x=4.9m y = 3.0 m

         

the time to reach the basket is

        t = x / v₀ₓ

we substitute

        y- y₀ = \frac{ v_o \ x \ sin \theta  }{ v_o \ cos \theta} - \frac{1}{2} g \ \frac{x^2 }{v_o^2 \ cos^2 \theta }

        y - y₀ = x tan θ - \frac{ g \ x^2 }{ 2 \ cos^2 \theta } \ \frac{1}{v_o^2 }

         

we substitute the values

        3 -1.8 = 3.0 tan 60 - \frac{ 9.8 \ 3^2 }{2 \ cos^2 60 } \ \frac{1}{v_o^2}

        1.2 = 5.196 - 176.4 1 / v₀²

        176.4 1 / v₀² = 3.996

        v₀ = \sqrt{ \frac{ 176.4}{3.996} }

        v₀ = 6.64 m / s

Answer the question below:
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

D) the decay rates of radioactive uranium and lead

Explanation:

As we know that when she found the substance it must have some fixed ratio of radioactive uranium and Lead in that substance.

Here since Uranium is radioactive substance so it will continuously convert into Lead and this ratio will change with time

So here we can say that the ratio of radioactive uranium and lead will depend on its decay rate

now to find the age of the substance we can find the present ratio of lead and uranium in that substance and then compare it with freshly prepared substance.

so by the formula

we can find the age of the sample
