Matter is anything that possesses mass, occupies space and may be perceived through one or more senses.

                           The physical divisions of matter are:

1. Solid : Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around.

2. Liquid : Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. It will take the shape of its container. Particles can...

According to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, it is impossible to determine the exact spin of an electron at any given moment. The Uncertainty Principle states that the more precisely we know the position of a particle, the less precisely we can know its momentum, and vice versa. Spin is a form of intrinsic angular momentum, which means it does not correspond to any specific position in space, and therefore cannot be measured precisely at the same time as its position.

However, while we...

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.
