Answer:

When huge amount of electrical discharge occurs from the atmosphere, a lightning storm is said to occur.

Following precautions must be taken if one is on board a vessel during a lightning storm:

During a lightning storm, all the plugs should be disconnected and electrical appliances must be switched off.
One should remain inside the cabin and not move outside because the charges remain on the surface of a conductor.
The movement should be avoided. It would be best to lay straight down.

A ball is thrown straight up into the air and passes a window 3 seconds after being released. It passes the same window on its w

melomori [17]

The initial velocity of the ball is 55.125 m/s.

<h3>Initial velocity of the ball</h3>

The initial velocity of the ball is calculated as follows;

During upward motion

h = vi - ¹/₂gt²

h = vi - 0.5(9.8)(3²)

h = vi - 44.1 ----------------- (1)

During downward motion

h = vi + ¹/₂gt²

h = 0 + 0.5(9.8)(1.5)²

h = 11.025 ----------- (2)

solve (1) and (2) together, to determine the initial velocity of the ball

11.025 = vi - 44.1

vi = 11.025 + 44.1

vi = 55.125 m/s

Thus, the initial velocity of the ball is 55.125 m/s.

Antonina throws a coin straight up from a height of

vichka [17]

Answer:

$s=vt-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Explanation:

We could use the following suvat equation:

$s=vt-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

s is the vertical displacement of the coin

v is its final velocity, when it hits the water

t is the time

g is the acceleration of gravity

Taking upward as positive direction, in this problem we have:

s = -1.2 m

$g=-9.8 m/s^2$

And the coin reaches the water when

t = 1.3 s

Substituting these data, we can find v:

$v=\frac{s}{t}+\frac{1}{2}gt=-\frac{1.2}{1.3}+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(1.3)=-7.3 m/s$

where the negative sign means the direction is downward.

Oliga [24]

He would measure the speed of molecules as the temperature gets colder until the temperature is measured at which motion stops.

<h3>What is the absolute zero?</h3>

The absolute zero refers to the temperature at which the gas seems to stop moving. Recall that temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas.

Hence, if Guillaume Amontons first took a stab at measuring absolute zero in 1702, he would measure the speed of molecules as the temperature gets colder until the temperature is measured at which motion stops.
