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 speed-time graph is shown below:
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: 0.5 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Average acceleration a_{ave} is the variation of velocity \Delta V over a specified period of time \Delta t:

a_{ave}=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}}

Where:

\Delta V=V_{f}-V_{o} being V_{o}=0 cm/s the initial velocity and V_{f}=4 cm/s the final velocity  (according to the information given from the described graph)

\Delta t=8 s

Then:

a_{ave}=\frac{4 cm/s -0 cm/s}{8 s}}

a_{ave}=0.5 m/s^{2}

What are some possible materials you could use to make your battery? DON’T FORGET TO include information about why it is importa
Dima020 [189]

Explanation:

Commercially available batteries use a variety of metals and electrolytes. Anodes can be made of zinc, aluminum, lithium, cadmium, iron, metallic lead, lanthanide, or graphite. Cathodes can be made of manganese dioxide, mercuric oxide, nickel oxyhydroxide, lead dioxide or lithium oxide. Potassium hydroxide is the electrolyte used in most battery types, but some batteries use ammonium or zinc chloride, thionyl chloride, sulfuric acid or lithiated metal oxides. The exact combination varies by battery type. For example, common single-use alkaline batteries use a zinc anode, a manganese dioxide cathode, and potassium hydroxide as the electrolyt

Leona [35]

Answer: conductors are substances that allow heat or electricity to pass through . It deals with only the flow of electrons.

Eg. water, copper wire, iron rod, some ceramic materials, metallic nail.

Insulators are materials that do not allow heat or electricity to pass through.

Eg. Book, plastic, rubber, glass, paper
