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:

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.

A 0.12 g honeybee acquires a charge of +24pC while flying. The earth's electric field near the surface is typically 100 N/C, dow

shusha [124]

Answer:

150000000

$\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=0.00000203873598369$

49050000 N/C

Explanation:

q = Charge = 24 pC

m = Mass of honeybee = 0.12 g

E = Electric field = 100 N/C

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$1\ C=6.25\times 10^{18}\ electrons$

Number electrons is

$n=24\times 10^{-12}\times 6.25\times 10^{18}\\\Rightarrow n=150000000$

The number of electrons added or removed was 150000000

Force is given by

$F_e=Eq\\\Rightarrow F_e=100\times 24\times 10^{-12}\\\Rightarrow F_e=2.4\times 10^{-9}\ N$

The ratio is

$\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=\dfrac{2.4\times 10^{-9}}{0.12\times 10^{-3}\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=0.00000203873598369$

The ratio is $\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=0.00000203873598369$

Balancing the forces we get

$Eq=mg\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{mg}{q}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{0.12\times 10^{-3}\times 9.81}{24\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow E=49050000\ N/C$

The electric field required is 49050000 N/C

Two concentric current loops lie in the same plane. The smaller loop has a radius of 3.4 cmcm and a current of 12 AA. The bigger

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Current in loops are

i1 = 12A

i2 = 20A

The loops are 3.4cm apart

The magnetic field at the center is found to be zero, so when want to find the radius of bigger loop

Magnetic Field is given as

B= μoi/2πr

Where,

μo is a constant = 4π×10^-7 Tm/A

r is the distance between the two wires

i is the current in the wires

B is the magnetic field

NOTE

Field due to large loop should be equal to the smaller loop.

B1 = B2

μo•i1 / 2π•r1 = μo•i2 / 2π•r2

Then, μo, 2π cancels out, so we have

i1 / r1 = i2 / r2

Make r2 subject of formula

i1•r2 = i2•r1

r2 = i2•r1 / i2

r2 = 20×3.4/12

r2 = 5.67cm

The radius of the bigger loop is 5.67cm.

At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile starts with a constant acceleration a of 2.5 m/s2. At the same insta

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

6.96 s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

u = initial speed of the automobile = 0 m/s

a = constant acceleration of the automobile = $2.5\ m/s^2$
v = constant speed of the truck = 8.7 m/s

<u>Assume:</u>

t = time instant at which the automobile overtakes the truck.

At the moment the automobile and the truck both meat each other the distance travel by both vehicles must be the same.

$\therefore \textrm{Distance traveled by the automobile }=\textrm{Distance traveled by the truck}\\\Rightarrow ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2=vt\\\Rightarrow (0)t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5\times t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2-8.7t=0\\\Rightarrow t(1.25t-8.7)=0\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = \dfrac{8.7}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = 6.96\\$

Since t = 0 s is the initial condition. So, they both meet again at t = 6.96 s such that the automobile overtakes the truck.
