Count the time in seconds between a lightning flash and the thunder clap. Five seconds delay equals 1 mile in distance.

What is the kinetic energy (in J) of an N2 molecule moving at this speed?

The kinetic energy of a molecule is given by the formula KE = 0.5 * m * v^2, where m is the mass of the molecule and v is its velocity. For an N2 molecule moving at a certain speed, you would need to know the speed and the mass of the molecule to calculate the kinetic energy in joules.


What is the speed of an object at any given instant?

The speed of an object at any given instant is its instantaneous speed, which is the rate at which the object is moving at that precise moment. To calculate the instantaneous speed, you would need to determine the object's displacement over an extremely small time interval.


Do balanced or unbalanced forces cause a moving object to continue moving at a constant speed?

A balanced force will not cause a moving object to change its constant speed. It's an unbalanced force that would either speed up or slow down the moving object.


If you drive onto a moving object how fast is your speed when you are on that moving object?

To drive onto a moving object (as, for example, up a ramp onto a moving trailer), you must be going faster than the object to move forward up the ramp, but when you come to a stop relative to the object, you will be moving with the object, so must be moving at the same speed. You must, in fact, decelerate to a stop on the object, or your faster approach speed would carry you through and beyond it.


How do you calculate force if you only have speed?

To calculate force when given speed, you would need to know the mass of the object. The equation that relates force, speed, and mass is F = m*a, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration (change in speed over time). Without knowing the mass or acceleration, it is not possible to calculate the force.

Is it easier to calculate speed or average speed?

I'm sure that average speed would be easier to calculate than instantaneous speed. To calculate average speed, just take the time that it takes to travel between two points, and divide that into the distance between the points.

What would be the shape of a speed time graph of a body moving with variable speed?

If a body is moving with variable speed, then the only thing you can say aboutits speed/time graph is that the graph is not a straight, horizontal line.

What is mesured in distance and time?

That would be Speed. Speed is the distance you are going divided by the time it takes. This will calculate the average speed you were traveling.


What would happen if the moon and earth were moving at the same speed?

There would never be a full moon.


How the speed - time graph of an object that is not moving?

If an object is not moving, its speed-time graph would be a horizontal line at the zero speed level. This is because the speed of the object is constant at zero, indicating that it is not experiencing any motion or changes in speed over time.


How would you measure the average speed of a moving person in wrestling?

Put him in sleeper hold and average speed is 0.


What is the mass of a proton moving at a speed of 2370 meters per second?

The mass of a proton is approximately 1.67 x 10^-27 kilograms. To calculate the relativistic mass of a proton moving at a speed of 2370 meters per second, you would need to use the formula for relativistic mass, which takes into account the increase in mass due to the proton's speed approaching the speed of light.
