Answer:

a thunder

Explanation:

It's because the difference in speed of light and sound

  • Light has speed about 3×10^8m/s
  • Sound has speed 344m/s

So we hear thunder later

Answer:

C

Explanation:

  • Lightning is a giant spark. A single stroke of lightning can heat the air around it to 30,000 degrees Celsius This extreme heating causes the air to expand at an explosive rate. The expansion creates a shock wave that turns to a booming sound wave, better known as thunder.
  • Thunder & lightning occur at roughly the same time, although u see the flash of lightning before u hear the thunder. This is because light travels much faster than sound.
  • Lightning always follows the easiest path. Lightning strikes buildings or projecting objects such as trees, poles, wires or building than larger, flatter surfaces because the material in them provide easier paths to the ground than the other. The primary target of lightning are lone buildings.

Therefore, Thunder Follows The Easiest Part. And it is not (A) because Thunder Follows A Lightening Not Vice Versa.

Why heat capacity for polymer higher than metal?

Because polymers are covalently bonded material, and metals are metalicly bonded material. 

Covalent bonds do not let atoms exchange electrons like metalic bonds do.

Argue as to why drivint on icy or snowy roads can be dangerous
Vika [28.1K]
Icy/Snowy roads have less friction than normal roads. This means that the wheels are less likely to stay positioned because of traction, and you will spin out of control

When heather grabbed the glass of ice water, the ice cubes were floating at the top. why were the ice cubes floating in the wate
tiny-mole [99]
The ice cubes were floating in water because they are less dense than liquid water. When water is frozen, a structure that is crystalline is formed that is held by hydrogen bonding. Due to the orientation of these bonds, the moleules would push far away from each other causing it to have a bigger volume and a lower density.

A child is playing on a swing. As long as he does not swing too high the time it takes him to complete one full oscillation will
Aleks [24]

Answer:

We know that for a pendulum of length L, the period  (time for a complete swing) is defined as:

T = 2*pi*√(L/g)

where:

pi = 3.14

L = length of the pendulum

g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

Now, we can think on the swing as a pendulum, where the child is the mass of the pendulum.

Then the period is independent of:

The mass of the child

The initial angle

Where the restriction of not swing to high is because this model works for small angles, and when the swing is to high the problem becomes more complex.

A 50.0 kg object is moving at 18.2 m/s when a 200 N force
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

distance = 21.56 m

Explanation:

given data

mass = 50 kg

initial velocity  = 18.2 m/s

force = -200 N ( here force applied to opposite direction )

final velocity = 12.6 m/s

solution

we know here acceleration will be as

acceleration a  = force ÷ mass

a = \frac{-200}{50}   =  -4 m/s²

we get here now required time that is

required time = \frac{V_{(final)} - V_{(initial)}}{a}     ...............1

put here value

required time = \frac{12.6-18.2}{-4}  

so distance will be

distance = \frac{V_{(final)}^2 - V_{(initial)}^2}{2a}    ........2

distance = \frac{12.6}^2 -{18.2}^2}{2\times (-4)}  

distance = 21.56 m
