Sound travels at a speed of 330 m/s. If a lightning bolt strikes the ground 3 km away from you, how long will it take for the so

und to reach you?
Physics

mestny [16]3 years ago

Answer: 9.09 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

speed of sound = 330 m/s

Distance away = 3 km

(since the SI unit of distance is metres, convert 3km to metres

1km = 1000 metres

3km = (3 x 10000) = 3000 metres

Time it take for the sound to reach you = ?

Now, recall that speed is obtained by dividing distance travelled by the time taken.

i.e speed = distance / time

330 m/s = 3000 m / time

Time = 3000 m / 330 m/s

Time = 9.09 seconds

Thus, it will take 9.09 seconds for the sound to reach you.

An engine absorbs 1.69 kJ from a hot reservoir at 277°C and expels 1.25 kJ to a cold reservoir at 27°C in each cycle.
Anna35 [415]

Answer

Given,

Energy absorbed, Q_H = 1.69\ kJ

Energy expels,Q_C =  1.25\ kJ

Temperature of cold reservoir, T = 27°C

a) Efficiency of engine

 \eta = \dfrac{Q_H - Q_C}{Q_H}\times 100

 \eta = \dfrac{1.69 - 1.25}{1.69}\times 100

\eta =26.03 %

b) Work done by the engine

 W = Q_H- Q_C

 W =1.69 - 1.25

 W = 0.44\ kJ

c) Power output

     t = 0.296 s

   P = \dfrac{W}{t}

   P = \dfrac{0.44}{0.296}

   P = 1.486\ kW

An accelerating voltage of 2.47 x 10^3 V is applied to an electron gun, producing a beam of electrons originally traveling horiz
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

6.3445×10⁻¹⁶ m

Explanation:

E = Accelerating voltage = 2.47×10³ V

m = Mass of electron

Distance electron travels = 33.5 cm = 0.335 cm

E=\frac{mv^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 2470\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}}\\\Rightarrow v=29455356.08671\ m/s

Deflection by Earth's Gravity

\Delta =\frac {gt^2}{2}

Now, Time = Distance/Velocity

\Delta =\frac {g\frac{s^2}{v^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta =\frac{9.81\frac{0.335^2}{29455356.08671^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta =6.3445\times 10^{-16}\ m

∴ Magnitude of the deflection on the screen caused by the Earth's gravitational field is 6.3445×10⁻¹⁶ m

1) how does reflection differ from diffraction?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: (1) The correct answer is A.

(2) The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

(1)

Reflection is the sending back of light from the surface without absorbing it. In the reflection phenomenon, the wave does not continue moving forward.

Diffraction is the bending of the light around the obstacle. In the diffraction phenomenon, the wave travels forward after striking around the obstacle.

Therefore, the correct answer is A.

(2)

Amplitude is the maximum displacement in the medium from the rest position.

The amount of energy is related to the amplitude. Amplitude is related to the amount of energy carried by the wave. Low energy wave is characterized by a low amplitude. High energy wave is characterized by a high amplitude.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Bill is farsighted and has a near point located 121 cm from his eyes. Anne is also farsighted, but her near point is 74.0 cm fro
Arada [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The lens equation is

1 / f = 1 / di + 1 / do

Where

f is focal length

di is the image distance

do is the object distance

Both Annie and Billy use a glass whose near point is 25cm

Then, the object distance is

do = 25 - 2 = 23cm

The have the same object distance.

Let find the vocal length of bills eye

Given that,

Bill near point is 121cm and distance of the glass from the eye is 2cm

Then,

Image distance of bill is

di_B = -(121-2) = -119cm

object distance do = 23cm

Then,

1 / f_B = 1 / di_B + 1 / do

1 / f_B = -1 / 119 + 1 / 23

1 / f_B = -119^-1 + 23^-1

1 / f_B = 0.0351

Then, f_B = 28.51 cm

Also, let find Annie focal length

Given that,

Annie near point is 74 cm and distance of the glass from the eye is 2cm

Then,

Image distance of Annie is

di_A = -(74-2) = -72cm

object distance do = 23cm

Then,

1 / f_A = 1 / di_A + 1 / do

1 / f_A = -1 / 72 + 1 / 23

1 / f_A = -72^-1 + 23^-1

1 / f_A = 0.02959

Then, f_A = 33.8 cm

Distance of object from the lens when Annie uses Billy glass

Then,

1 / f_B = 1 / di_A + 1 / do

1 / 28.51 = -1 / 72 + 1 / do

28.51^-1 = -72^-1 + do^-1

do^-1 = 28.51^-1 + 72^-1

do^-1 = 0.048964

do = 20.42 cm

Then, the object location from the eye will be, the eye is 2cm from the glass. Then,

do_A = 20.42 + 2 = 22.42cm

do_A = 22.42 cm

Distance of object from the lens when Billy uses Annie glass

Then,

1 / f_A = 1 / di_B + 1 / do

1 / 33.8 = -1 / 119 + 1 / do

33.8^-1 = -119^-1 + do^-1

do^-1 = 33.8^-1 + 119^-1

do^-1 = 0.03799

do = 26.32 cm

Then, the object location from the eye will be, the eye is 2cm from the glass. Then,

do_B = 26.32 + 2 = 28.32 cm

do_B = 28.32 cm
