I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. A bolt of lightning is caused by e<span>lectrical charges building up in the space between the clouds and the ground. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Lightning a. occurs when a positively charged cloud base induces a negative charge on the Earth's surface. b. travels most often
mart [117]

Answer:

c. may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.

Explanation:

Lightning is a discharge which is due to the reaction between oppositely charged charges in the clouds, or between clouds base and the Earth surface.

The motion of the cloud causes charging of clouds by friction, thus the reaction between opposite charges (jumping of charges from one cloud to another) in the cloud can lead to lightning. Also, oftentimes the bottom of a cloud is negatively charged so that this is attracted to the positive charge on the earth surface. Thus leading to a discharge called lightning.

Thus in the given question, the appropriate option is C. This implies that, lightning may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.

5. The wire in consists of two segments of different diameters but made from the same metal. The current in segment 1 is I1. a.
Volgvan

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer :

a) I1 = I2

b) J1 > J2

c) E 1 > E2

d) ( vd1 ) > ( vd2 )

Explanation:

a) The currents in the two segments are the same  i.e. I1 = I2  and this is because the segments are connected in series

b) Comparing the current densities J1 and J2 in the two segments

note : current density ∝ 1 / area

The area of the second segment is > the area of first segment  therefore

J1 > J2

J1 ( current density of first segment )

J2 ( current density of second segment )

c) Comparing the electric field strengths E1 and E2

 note : electric field strength ∝ current density

since current density of first segment is > current density of second segment  and conductivity of the materials are the same hence

E 1 > E2

d) Comparing the drift speeds Vd1 and Vd2

( vd1 ) > ( vd2 )

this because  ; vd ∝ current density

What type of waves are sound waves, and how do they<br> transfer energy?
klemol [59]

Answer:

Sound wave types - longitudinal waves

Longitudinal waves - Vibrating string the creates sound in the way it moves.

Explanation:

Longitudinal waves have particles of the medium that are displaced in a parallel direction to energy transport.
