Suppose you hear a clap of thunder 16.2 seconds after seeing the associated lightning stroke. the speed of sound waves in air is 343-m/s and the speed of light in air is 3.00 x 10^8-m/s. how far are you from the lightning stroke in both meters and miles? assume that the light reaches you instantaneously.

The 10-kg double wheel with radius of gyration of 125mm about o is connected to the spring of stiffness k = 600 n/m by a cord which is wrapped securely around the inner hub. if the wheel is released from rest on the incline with the spring stretched 225 mm, calculate the maximum velocity v of its center o during the ensuing motion. the wheel rolls without slipping
