a friend tells you a way to estimate how far away a lightning bolt strikes. You count the number of seconds between seeing the flash and hearing the thunderclap. Then you divide that number by five to get a distance in miles. In terms of the physics of light and sound waves, does the method make sense?

How do the measurements of charge at the different locations on the sphere compare to each other? the charge measurements are different at all locations on the sphere. the charge measurements are virtually not the same at all locations on the sphere except for the charge at the very top and at the very bottom that are equal. the charge measurements are virtually the same at all locations on the sphere except for the charge at the very top. at the top, the conductive sphere has a small disk that is made of different material. the charge measurements are the same at all locations on the sphere. what happens to the charge on the conductive sphere when it is connected to a source of charge such as the electrostatic voltage source? nothing will happen because no charge goes around the surface of the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out over the surface of the sphere; being greater in some specific locations on the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out uniformly over the surface of the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out non-uniformly over the surface of the sphere.

An ideal otto cycle has a compression ratio of 10.5, takes in air at 90 kpa and 40°c, and is repeated 2500 times per minute. using constant specific heats at room temperature, determine the thermal efficiency of this cycle and the rate of heat input if the cycle is to produce 90 kw of power.

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.
