Hello
It is called lightning. Lightning in a storm occurs when there are two regions (it can be cloud-cloud or cloud-ground), one with a strong excess of positive charges and the other one with a strong excess of negative charges. The two types of charge attract each other, and then a sudden flow of charges from one region to the other occurs, which is called lightning.

Answer:

3rd order polynomial

Explanation:

Given that the increase in the order of the polynomial the error between the curve fit and measured data will decreases hence :

The polynomial order that is best to use is the 3rd order polynomial, this is because using a 3rd order polynomial will produce a less variance and a low Bias

The summer camps had a field trip from the campus to Fragrance Hill. They traveled at an average speed of 65 km/h in the first 2

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Explanation:

They traveled this distance in 2 parts, essentially. Part 1 had an average speed for a certain number of hours, part 2 had an average speed for a certain number of hours, and those 2 parts taken together took them a distance of 364 km. In equation form, that looks like this:

km/hr part 1 + km/hr part 2 = 364 km

Now we need to find each part on the left side of that equation. Part 1 first:

We traveled 65 km/hr for 2 hours, so that took us

$65\frac{km}{hr}*2hr$ and canceling out the hour label, we have that in part 1 we got

65(2) = 130 km. Good. Now onto the second part, where our unknown is.

We traveled 78 km/hr the second part for x hours, so that took us

$78\frac{km}{hr}*xhr$ and canceling out the hour label, we have that in part 2 we got

78x km. Now we can fill in the main equation (the one in bold print)

130 km + 78x km = 364 km and subtracting 130 km from both sides:

78x km = 234 km and dividing by 78 km:

x = 3 hours. Part 2 took 3 hours. Part 1 took 2 hours, so the whole trip took 5 hours.

A sample of 5.6 L of a gas is at a pressure of 1.5 atm. If the volume of the gas is compressed to 4.8 L, what will the new press

Effectus [21]

Answer:

1.75atm

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law, the pressure P of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to it's volume V provided that the temperature remains constant.

$P\alpha \frac{1}{V}\\hence\\PV=constant$
