Time taken (t) = 3 sec
Velocity of sound (v) = 332 m/s
Distance travelled (d) = ?
We know,
d = v x t = 332 x 3 = 996 m
Hence, the source of thunder is about 996 m far from the boy.
BODMAS=Bracket, Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. In certain regions, PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction) is the synonym of BODMAS. It explains the order of operations to solve an expression.
The order of magnitude of a physical quantity is its magnitude in powers of ten when the physical quantity is expressed in powers of ten with one digit to the left of the decimal.
Orders of magnitude are generally used to make very approximate comparisons and reflect very large differences.
Any vector directed in two dimensions can be thought of as having two different components. The component of a single vector describes the influence of that vector in a given direction.
1. How many beats can be heard by sounding together two tuning forks of frequencies 250Hz and 256Hz?
Number of beats (n) =f2- f1
= 256 - 250
= 6 beats /sec
The Rh factor(the Rhesus factor or Rh antigen), is a protein that can be found on the surface of red blood cells. It is one of the most important blood group systems in human blood typing. The presence or absence of the Rh factor is denoted as either Rh-positive (+) or Rh-negative (-).
Fun fact: The Rh factor is named after the Rhesus monkey, in which the protein was first discovered.
