Explain the relationship between lightning and storm clouds.

Physics
1 answer:
LuckyWell [14K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer: Often lightning occurs between clouds or inside a cloud. But the lightning we usually care about most is the lightning that goes from clouds to ground.

Explanation:  As the storm moves over the ground, the strong negative charge in the cloud attracts positive charges in the ground.

A mechanic uses a mechanical lift to raise a car. The car weighs 11,000 N. The lift raises the car 2.5 m.
KengaRu [80]

Potential energy = (weight) x (height)

After the car has been raised 2.5 meters, it has

                 (11,000) x (2.5) = 27,500 Joules

MORE potential energy than it had before it was lifted.

That's the energy that has to come from the work you do to lift it.

Since no mechanical process is ever 100% efficient, the work required
to accomplish this task is <em>at least  27,500 joules</em>.

A load of 800 N is lifted using a block and tackle having 5 pulleys. If the applied effort is 200 N, calculate
ser-zykov [4K]

Explanation:

Load=800N

Effort=200N

1. Mechanical Advantage = LOAD/EFFORT

= 800N/200N

= 4

2 Velocity Ratio = no. Of pulleys =5

3. Efficiency = Mechanical advantage / velocity ratio × 100%

= (4/5)×100%

=80%

4. output work= load×load distance

= 800N × 5m

= 4 × 1000J

5. Efficiency = (output work/input work) ×100%

Or, 80% = (4000J/input work) ×100%

Or, 80%/100% = 4000J/inputwork

Or, 4/5 = 4000J/inputwork

Or, input work =4000J × 5/4

Input work = 5×1000J

I hope it helped! ;-)

Frequency is a measure of how many waves pass by in one second. <br> a. true <br> b. false
Elanso [62]
True. Waves are measured in Hz. Wavelength is also measured in metres (m) - it is a length after all. The frequency, f, of a wave is the number of waves passing a point in a certain time. We normally use a time of one second, so this gives frequency the unit hertz (Hz), since one hertz is equal to one wave per second.

You are performing an experiment that requires the highest possible energy density in the interior of a very long solenoid. Whic
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

b. increasing the number of turns per unit length on the solenoid

e. increasing the current in the solenoid

Explanation:

As we know that energy density depends on the strength of the magnetic field. The magnetic field strength depends on the no of turns of the solenoid and the current passing through it. The greater the number of turns per unit length, greater the current passing through it, more stronger the magnetic field is. As

B = μ₀nI

n = no of turns

I = current through the wire

So the right options are

b. increasing the number of turns per unit length on the solenoid

e. increasing the current in the solenoid
