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.
Explanation:
A decrease in mass will decrease an objects weight because
weight = mass x gravitational constant
Answer:
Halfway between B and A on the return leg.
Explanation:
Your average SPEED for the entire trip will equal your constant speed as the time and distance increase at proportionate rates.
Your average VELOCITY will equal your constant speed while you travel from A to B because time and displacement are increasing at proportionate rates.
When you turn around at B to return, your Displacement is now decreasing while your travel time continues to increase, so your average velocity decreases.
Lets say the distance from A to B is 90 km and your constant speed is 30 km/hr.
your average speed is 30 km/hr because you took 6 hrs to travel 180 km
We want to find your position when your average velocity is 30/3 = 10 km/hr
it took 3 hrs to go 90 km from A to B. Let t be the time lapsed since turn around
your displacement is given by d = 90 - 30(t)
and your total time of travel is t + 3 hrs
v = d/t
10 = (90 - 30t) / (t + 3)
10(t + 3) = (90 - 30t)
10t + 30 = 90 - 30t
40t = 60
t = 1.5 hrs
This will occur when you are halfway between B and A
Wouldn't everything fall?
