A student witnesses a flash of lightning and then t = 1.5 s later the student hears the associated clap of thunder.Sound travels at 343 m/s in the air. What distance from the student is the lightning strike, in meters? Light travels at 3.0 × 108 m/s in the air. How long, t1, in seconds did it take the light to reach the student's eyes after the lightning strike?
A frustrated office worker throws his laptop out of his business's high-
rise office building. The height, h, in meters of the laptop above the ground at t
seconds can be modelled by h(t) = 125-5t².
a. Determine the average rate of change between the third and fourth second
of the laptop's flight.
b. Estimate the rate at which the laptop hits the ground.
1d. A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 18.5 m/s. The cliff is h = 20.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in the figure.
Write the equations for the position of the stone with time, using the coordinates in the figure. (Use the following as necessary: t. Let the variable t be measured in seconds. Do not state units in your answer.)
