That particular strike was very roughly 2.4 km (1.5 miles) away from them.

That's if you use 340 m/s (1120 ft/sec) for the speed of sound. 
But the air in the region for several thousand feet around a thunderstorm
is doing weird things to sounds that pass through it, so you can't use any
exact number for the speed of sound in a stormy area.

The only thing you can be absolutely sure of is that Johnny and his friends
need to round up their equipment and get in the house.  NOW !

A nerve signal is transmitted through a neuron when an excess of Na+ ions suddenly enters the axon, a long cylindrical part of t
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1.32.225 N/C, direction is away from the point charge

2. 8.972*10^-12 C

3. the field is directed away from the axon

Explanation:

The electric field can be calculated as shown below:

E = k*|q|/r^2

Where:

E = electric field; k = 8.98755*10^9 N*m^2/C^2; r = distance between the measured field and point charge = 0.05 m; q = the point charge

For 0.100 m of the axon, the value of q is:

q = (5.6*10^11)*(+e)*(0.001)

+e = charge of an electron = 1.60217*10^-19 C

Thus:

q = (5.6*10^11)*(1.60217*10^-19)*(0.0001) = 8.972*10^-12 C

Therefore:

E = (8.98755*10^9)*(8.972*10^-12)/0.05^2 = 32.255 N/C

A positive point charge always produce an electric field that is directed away from the field while a negative point charge produces an electric field that is directed toward the field

A person kicks a ball, giving it an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s up a wooden ramp. When the ball reaches the top, it becomes air
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

(a) Height is 4.47 m

(b) Height is 4.37 m

Solution:

As per the question:

Initial velocity of teh ball, v_{o} = 20.0 m/s

Angle made by the ramp, \theta = 22.0^{\circ}

Distance traveled by the ball on the ramp, d = 5.00 m

Now,

(a) At any point on the projectile before attaining maximum height, the velocity can be given by the eqn-3 of motion:

v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} - 2gH

where

H = dsin22^{\circ} = 5sin22^{\circ}

g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

v^{2} = 20^{2} - 2\times 9.8\times 5sin22^{\circ}

v = \sqrt{400 - 19.6\times 5sin22^{\circ}} = 19.06 m/s

Now, maximum height attained is given by:

h = \frac{(vsin\theta)^{2}}{2g}

h = \frac{(19sin(22^{\circ}))^{2}}{2\times 9.8} = 2.60 m

Height from the ground = 5sin22^{circ} + 2.86 = 1.87 + 2.60 = 4.47m

(b) now, considering the coefficient of friction bhetween ramp and the ball, \mu = 0.150:

velocity can be given by the eqn-3 of motion:

v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} - 2gH - \mu gd

v^{2} = 20^{2} - 2\times 9.8\times 5sin22^{\circ} - 0.150\times 9.8\times 5

v = \sqrt{400 - 19.6\times 5sin22^{\circ} - 0.150\times 9.8\times 5} = 18.7 m/s

Now, maximum height attained is given by:

h = \frac{(vsin\theta)^{2}}{2g}

h = \frac{(18.7sin(22^{\circ}))^{2}}{2\times 9.8} = 2.50 m

Height from the ground = 5sin22^{circ} + 2.86 = 1.87 + 2.50 = 4.37 m

Saturn has an orbital period of 29.46 years. In two or more complete sentences, explain how to calculate the average distance fr
bixtya [17]
For astronomical objects, the time period can be calculated using:
T² = (4π²a³)/GM
where T is time in Earth years, a is distance in Astronomical units, M is solar mass (1 for the sun)
Thus,
T² = a³
a = ∛(29.46²)
a = 0.67 AU
1 AU = 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
0.67 * 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
= 1.43 × 10⁹ Km
