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

Physics

Leni [432]3 years ago

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).

A small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the averag
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The small car and the truck experience the same average force.

Explanation:

Here we need to remember two of Newton's laws.

The second one says that:

F = m*a

force equals mass times acceleration.

And the third one says that;

"If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A"

From the third law, if the car experiences a force F due to the impact with the truck, then the truck experiences the same force F due to the impact.

But this seems odd, because we would expect to see the car being more affected by the impact, right?

Well, this is explained by the second law.

Suppose that the mass of the car is m, and the mass of the truck is M.

such that M > m

Then for the small car we have:

F = m*a

And for the truck:

F = M*a'

Because the force is the same for both of them, we can write:

m*a = M*a'

a = (M/m)*a'

because M > m, then M/m > 1.

This means that the acceleration that the car experiences is larger than the acceleration for the truck, and this is why we would see that the car seems more affected by the impact, regardless of the fact that both vehicles experience the same force in the impact.

If a ball is thrown into the air with a velocity of 36 ft/s, its height (in feet) after t seconds is given by y = 36t − 16t2. fi
Juliette [100K]
Height (y) = 36t - 16t^2, where t = time in seconds (s).
Our height (y) after 1s = 36(1) - 16(1)^2
y = 36 - 16 = 20 ft
So it reached a height of 20 ft during that 1 second, which means that at that 1 second it had a velocity of 20ft/s, since v = d(distance)/t = 20ft/1s

A young girl slides down a rope. As she slides
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The girl will move with constant velocity

Explanation:

If after a certain time t_0 the velocity of the girl is v_0 =gt_0 and the upward force on the girl due to rope is mg ,where g is gravitational acceleration. Then the girl will move down with the constant velocity v_0 .

The girl will move with constant velocity,as explained above.
