Lightning occurs when there is a flow of electric charge (principally electrons) between the ground and a thundercloud. assume t

hat the rate of charge flow in a lightning bolt is about 24000 c/s and this lasts for 105 µs or less. how much charge flows between the ground and the cloud in this time?

Given:
The rate of charge flow in the lightning bolt is 24000 C/s = 24×10³ C/s.
Duration of charge flow = 105 μs = 105×10⁻⁶ s

By definition, the current flow is
I = (24×10³)/(105×10⁻⁶) = 2.286×10⁸ A = 228.6 MA (mega amps)

Answer:  228.6 MA

A rock dropped on the moon will increase it's speed from 0 m/s to 8.15 m/s in about 5 seconds what is the acceleration of the ro
Lunna [17]

Using the formula:


a = (Vf - Vi) / t


Our initial velocity is 0 m/s, and our final velocity is 8.15 m/s, with a time period of 5 seconds:


a = (8.15 - 0.0) / 5

a = 1.63 m/s^2


If you know the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon, you can confirm this answer. The recorded gravitational acceleration on the Moon is 1.62 m/s^2.

A car is moving with an initial relocity of
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The final acceleration of the car, v = 70 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The initial velocity of the car, u = 20 m/s

The acceleration of the car, a = 10 m/s²

The time period of travel, t = 5 s

Using the I equations of motion

                     v = u + at

                        = 20 + 10(5)

                        = 20 + 50

                        = 70 m/s

Hence, the final acceleration of the car, v = 70 m/s

How far will a car travel in 25 seconds at 10m/ min
Kryger [21]
Time = 25s
speed = 10m/min
= 10m / 60
= (1/6)m/s


distance = speed × time
= 25 × (1/6)
=4.167m

The amount of energy that must be absorbed or lost to raise or lower the temperature of 1 g of liquid water by 1°c _____.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

4.2 J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity: This is defined as the amount of a heat required to rise a unit mass of a substance through a temperature of 1 K

From specific heat capacity,

Q = cmΔt.............................. Equation 1

Where Q = amount of energy absorbed or lost, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, Δt = Temperature rise.

Given: m = 1 g = 0.001 kg, Δt = 1 °C

Constant : c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 0.001×4200(1)

Q = 4.2 J.

Hence the energy absorbed or lost = 4.2 J
