Answer:

<h3>The charge transferred from the cloud to earth is 1 Coulomb.</h3>

Explanation:

Given :

Current I = 2.5 \times 10^{4} A

Time t = 40 \times 10^{-6} sec

We know that the current is the rate of flow of charge.

From the formula of current,

<h3>  I = \frac{Q}{t}</h3>

Where Q = charge transfer between cloud and earth.

 Q =I t

Q = 2.5 \times 10^{4} \times 40 \times 10^{-6}

Q = 1 C

Hence, the charge transferred from the cloud to earth is 1 Coulomb.

kupik [55]

Answer:

16 times that of car A

Explanation:

Moving objects have kinetic energy which is calculated using the formula:

E=(1/2)mv² where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity.

For car A, kinetic energy =1/2×m×15²

=112.5m........................................i

For car B,  the kinetic energy =1/2×m×60²

=1800m......................................ii

dividing ii by i we get

1800m/112.5m= 16.07

Therefore The kinetic energy of car B is 16.07 times that of car A
