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.
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...
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.
