What two physics mistakes occur when you see and hear a distant explosion at the same time?
what ends up happening is that u will see the explosive before you can hear it because the speed of light passes through the atmosphere faster than that of sound.
Will an explosion be seen or heard first?
Seen first before hearing as velocity of light very much higher than that of sound
How long does it take before an area can be habitable after a nuclear blast?
it may take up to 100 years for the explosion area to become livable once again
Where did the first nuclear explosion occur?
Trinity site in New Mexico in the north east corner of what is now the White Sands Missile Range, July 16, 1945 shortly before dawn.
How fast is a nuclear explosion?
The explosion itself is over within a few microseconds, but it takes milliseconds to seconds for the fireball to expand to full size. The blast wave travels as a supersonic shock wave. Fires ignite later, mostly from fire sources knocked over or broken by the blast (the blast blows out initial direct flash fires before they can spread).
Why is the light of a distant explosion seen first before the sound of the explosion is heard?
Simply because light travels faster than sound. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second while the speed of sound is only about 1,126 feet per second. Therefore, you see the explosion before hearing the blast. It's the same when you experience a thunderstorm - you see the lightning, and the thunder follows after a few seconds - depending how close you are to it.
The total amount of energy before an explosion is the amount of energy after an explosion?
yes

What event led to the explosion on the command module?
the oxygen in the oxygen tanks were stirred before heating, causing the explosion.
What do people notice before a volcanic explosion?
smoke?
Where is Goku before he returns to earth?
on a very distant planet
Why can the tremor of the ground from a distant explosion be felt before the sound of the explosion can be heard?
Tremor will be felt first because both the shock (tremor) in the ground and the sound behave as waves -- the tremor is essentially a sound wave in the ground. The tremor will be felt first because the ground is more dense than the air, and the speed of sound increases directly in relationship to increases (although I don't know the specific mathematical relationship) in the density of the material through which it is traveling.
Did an explosion sink the battleship Maine in Havana Harbor before after or during the Spanish American War?
It was before War was declared.
How many survived Halifax explosion?
Well, 2000 people had died during the explosion, and before the explosion the population was 50 000 so 48 000, but what nobody relizes is that there ws a blizzard the night of the Halifax explosion so we don't know how many died during the night or after from the side effects
How do you get to the Distant Spring in Pikmin?

What is the last element a red super giant produces before a supernova explosion?
It is iron.
Would you blame jack for the explosion on the odyssey?
Without more information, it is difficult to determine who is to blame for the explosion on the Odyssey. It would be important to investigate the cause of the explosion and any actions or negligence on Jack's part that may have contributed to it before assigning blame.
