What part of a thunderstorm kills the most people each year?

Answer:

Lightning

Explanation:

Lightning strikes are electrical discharges that occur when clouds charge electrically. In a storm, lightning is the factor that kills more people each year. They can be seen through irregular and branched trajectories approximately 2 to 5 cm. For such a discharge to occur it is necessary that the soil has an electrical charge opposite to that contained in the clouds, because this way the attraction between them occurs and finally the discharge is released by the cloud.

Lightning can occur between clouds when they begin within one of these clouds (presenting no direct risk to the ground but to aircraft) and between clouds and soil that can begin both in the cloud and on the ground (with those beginning in the clouds presenting greater soil hazard).

Here is the answer. The part of a thunderstorm that kills the <span> most people each year is the LIGHTNING. Thunder is only the sound created and will not hurt anyone, but it is the lightning that can kill anyone who will be struck by it. Hope this answers your question. Have a great day!</span>

A lamp hangs from the ceiling at a height of 2.6 m. The lamp has a mass of 3.8 kg. The screws holding the lamp break, and it fal
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given height of lamp from the ceiling = 2.6m

mass of the lamp = 3.8kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

As the body falls to the ground, it falls under the influence of gravity.

Gravitational potential energy = mass*acc due to gravity * height

Gravitational potential energy  = 3.8*2.6*9.81

Gravitational potential energy  = 96.923 Joules

b) Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

m = mass of the body (in kg)

v = velocity of the body (in m/s²)

To get the velocity v, we will use the equation of motion v^{2} = u^{2}+2gh

v^{2} = 0^{2}+2(9.81)(2.6) \\v^{2} = 51.012\\v =\sqrt{51.012}\\ v = 7.14m/s

Since mass = 3.8kg

K.E =  1/2 * 3.8 *7.14^{2}\\ K.E = 96.86Joules

c) To know how fast the lamp is moving when it hits the ground, we will use the formula. When the body hits the ground, the height covered will be 0m. this means that the body is not moving once it hits the ground. It stays in one position. The energy possessed by the body at this point is potential energy. The correct answer is therefore 0 m/s

krok68 [10]
A nuclear power plant doesn't produce any of those things. It only produces electricity and heat. As long as there are no accidents, and the worn out nuclear fuel is handled properly, the nuclear plant isn't harmful to the environment at all.
