In a thunderstorm, the air must be ionized by a high voltage before a conducting path for a lightning bolt can be created. an el

ectric field of about 1.0 × 106 v/m is required to ionize dry air. what would the break- down voltage in air be if a thundercloud were 1.60 km above ground? assume that the electric field between the cloud and the ground is uniform.

We know that the electric field is equal to 1 E 6 V/m

The distance between the thundercloud and the ground is 1.6km = 1600m

Electric field = Voltage/distance

This means that the breakdown voltage must be equal to

V = 1 E 6 V/m * 1600m = 1.6 E 9 V = 1.6 GV

Snail 3, trying to keep up with Snail 2, managed to get to
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over the change in time = Δv/Δt.  To do these problems, you need to find out how much the speed changed and over what period of time it changed.

Snail 1 changes from 4 cm/min to 7 cm/min in 3 minutes.  Subtract the starting velocity (4 cm/min) from the ending velocity (7 cm/min) then divide by the time (3 min):

Snail 1 = (7 cm/min. - 4 cm/min)/(3 minutes) = ?    (remember to put down the units)

Snail 2 changed from 7 cm/min. down to 1 cm/min. in 3 minutes

Snail 2 = (1 cm/min. - 7 cm/min.)/(3 min.) = ?        (note that the acceleration is negative when you slow down)

I hope this helps you

3. Pencils should not be used inside the computer to change the setting of switches or to
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Pencils indeed should not be used as tools when working inside a computer because it is made of Lead.

Lead is a conductor of electricity and as such if it is left inside the computer at even miniscule quantities, it can redirect electricity and damage components in the process.

If one wants to work inside a computer, it is best to use tools like tweezers and needle-nose pliers.

Answer:

D. Salt Weathering

Explanation:

Salt weathering is defined as a geomorphic process resulting in the physical disintegration of rocks or stones and  in the fretting of their surfaces. Often you tend to find the best examples of salt weathering in dessert  areas and coastal areas. You can find three distinct types of weathering which are biological weathering,  physical weathering, and chemical weathering.
