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.

Answer:

64.945 miles per hour

Explanation:

Since the frequency of sound heard is higher than actual frequency, the ambulance is moving towards you!

The frequency of sound waves as heard from a distance for a sound wave coming towards one at v₀ m/s and whose real frequency is f₀ is given by

+f = f₀/[1 - (v₀/v)]

+f = frequency of sound as heard from the distance away = 8.61 KHz

f₀ = real frequency of sound = 7.87 KHz

v₀ = velocity at which the sound source is moving towards the reference point = ?

v = velocity of sound waves = 343 m/s

8.61 = 7.87/(1 - (v₀/v))

1 - (v₀/343) = 0.9141

v₀/343 = 1 - 0.9141 = 0.0859

v₀ = 343 × 0.0859 = 29.48 m/s = 64.945 miles per hour

A car is traveling at a speed of 10m/s. A 0.5kg clump of mudis
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

speed of car v=10 m/s

mass of clump m=0.5 kg

Radius of car tire r=0.2 m

Since the tire is rotating about axle so a centripetal force is acting constantly on each particle towards the center of tire.

Centripetal force is given by

F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}

where m=mass\ of\ element

v=speed

r=distance\ from\ center

F_c=\frac{0.5\times 10^2}{0.2}

F_c=250\ N (inward)
