Answer:

The lightning itself is the transfer of charge from one region of a cloud to another or between the cloud and Earth. The narrow channel within which the flash of lightning occurs is heated suddenly to ~ 30,000 K, with essentially no time to expand.

Explanation:

Hope it helps

Light travels through a vacuum at a speed of 3 x 10 m/s. What is the speed of
Andrew [12]

Answer:

v = c / n      (n = 1 for air)

v = c / 1.33 = 3 * 10E8 m/s / 1.33 = 2.25 * 10E8 m/s

A person tosses a ball from the ground up into the air at an initial speed of 10 m/sec and an initial angle of 43° off the groun
Artemon [7]
<h2>Component of the velocity of the ball in the horizontal direction just before the ball hits the ground = 7.31 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

In horizontal direction there is acceleration or deceleration for a ball tossed upward at an initial angle of 43° off the ground.

So the horizontal component of velocity always remains the same.

Horizontal component of velocity is the cosine component of velocity.

Initial velocity, u = 10 m/s

Angle, θ = 43°

Horizontal component of velocity = u cosθ

Horizontal component of velocity = 10 cos43

Horizontal component of velocity = 7.31 m/s

Since the horizontal velocity is unaffected, we have

     Component of the velocity of the ball in the horizontal direction just before the ball hits the ground = 7.31 m/s

One wire carries a current of I1= 2 Amps, and the other carries a parallel current (same direction, wires are side by side) of I
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:F=3\times 10^{-5} N

Explanation:

Given

I_1=2 Amps

I_2=0.75 Amps

Length of each wires\left ( L\right )=5 m

Distance between wires \left ( r\right )=5 cm

Force per unit length =\frac{\mu_0I_1I_2}{2\pi r}

F'=\frac{2\times 10^{-7}\times 2\times 0.75}{2\pi \times 0.05}

F'=6\times 10^{-6}

Force for L=5 m

F=3\times 10^{-5} N

Which of the following would be considered a source of geothermal energy?
N76 [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magma heats nearby rocks and underground aquifers. Hot water can be released through geysers, hot springs, steam vents, underwater hydrothermal vents, and mud pots. These are all sources of geothermal energy. Their heat can be captured and used directly for heat, or their steam can be used to generate electricity.

Calculate the potential energy of a 6kg bowling ball suspended 3m above the surface of the earth
Valentin [98]

Answer:  176.4 Joules

Explanation: Potential energy of a body is defined as the energy possessed by virtue of position.

Potential energy =m\times g\times h

m = mass of the body = 6 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 ms^{-2}

h = height of body = 3 m

Potential energy =6 kg\times 9.8ms^{-2}\times 3m=176.4kgm^2s^{-2}

= 176.4Joules                 {1kgm^2s^{-2}=1Joule}
