A rule of thumb for estimating the distance in kilometers between an observer and a lightning stroke is to divide the number of seconds in the interval between the flash and the sound by 3. Is this rule correct?

How do hydroponic plants differ from nonhydroponic plants? a.) hydroponic plants can grow in a dryer soil. nonhydroponic plants grow in moist soil. b.) hydroponic plants grow on other plants and are known as air plants. nonhydroponic plants do not grow on other plants. c.) hydroponic plants can only grow in rain forests. nonhydroponic plants cannot grow in rain forests. d.) hydroponic plants are grown without soil. nonhydroponic plants are grown in soil.

A-4.60 μc charge is moving at a constant speed of 6.80×105 m/s in the +x−direction relative to a reference frame. at the instant when the point charge is at the origin, what is the magnetic-field vector it produces at the following points.

Dinate system, and a charge q = - 2.00 nc is placed s2 10 n> c. (a) what is the change in electric potential energy when the dipole moment of a molecule changes its orientation with respect to es from parallel to perpendicular? (b) at what absolute temperature t is the average translational kinetic energy 32 kt of a molecule equal to the change in potential energy calculated in part(: abovethistemperature,thermalagitationprevents the dipoles from aligning with the electric field.) placed in a uniform electric field e with magnitude 1.6 * 6 on the positive x-axis at x = 4.00 cm. (a) if a third charge q3 = +6.00 nc is now placed at the point x = 4.00 cm, y = 3.00 cm, find the x- and y-components of the total force exerted on this charge by the other two. (b) find the magnitude and direction of figure p21.62 ll uu 21.55 . torque on a dipole. an electric dipole with dipole moment ps is in a uniform external electric field es. (a) find the orientations of the dipole for which the torque on the dipole is zero. (b) which of the orientations in part (a) is stable, and which is unstable? (hint: consider a small rotation away from the equi- librium position and see what happens.) (c) show that for the stable orientation in part (b), the dipole’s own electric field tends to oppose the external field. 21.62 ..
