"<em>F = dP/dt. </em> The net force acting on an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes."
These days, we break up "the rate at which momentum changes" into its units, and then re-combine them in a slightly different way. So the way WE express and use the 2nd law of motion is
"<em>F = m·A.</em> The net force on an object is equal to the product of the object's mass and its acceleration."
The two statements say exactly the same thing. You can take either one and work out the other one from it, just by working with the units.
His acceleration is
<em>(-0.05) · (his speed at the bottom of the hill) </em>m/s²
I think the correct answer would be that Charles' law explains why <span>a balloon deflates when the air around it cools. Charles' law is a simplification of the ideal gas law. At constant pressure, volume and temperature have a direct relationship. Hope this helps.</span>
Answer:
Water droplets could obtain charges thru contact with other drops.
Then if two similar drops (both positively charged) came in contact
charge could be transferred because one side of the drop would be positive and one side of the other would be negative by induction.
Several Physics Labs have built experiments called "Kelvins Thunderstorm"
where objects found in the home could be used to build a charge generator that can generate several thousand volts from falling water droplets.
Lightning usually occurs because of the very large potential that can build
because of charge differences between overhead clouds and the induced charge that will then follow in the ground. Mountain climbers know that it's time to look for safer ground when sparks start to jump from the ropes.
