Answer:

Correct Answer is option C

Explanation:

Option A cannot be correct because if both earth and clouds are negatively charged then they will repel each other and electron cannot flow through it because electron is negatively charged and it will get attracted towards positively charged terminal. Hence electric current will not flow between them.

Option B

cannot be correct because if both earth and clouds are positively charged then they will repel each other and electron cannot flow through it.Hence electric current will not flow between them.

Option C

It is correct option because flow of current means flow of electron. so electron which are negatively charged particle will move from cloud to positively charged ground.

Option D

If clouds are neutral then electron will not be there and hence current will not flow.

How much work is done to increase the speed of a 1.0 kg toy car by 5.0 m/s?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is (b).

Explanation:

We need to find the work done to increase the speed of a 1 kg toy car by 5 m/s.

We know that, the work done is equal to the kinetic energy of an object i.e.

W=\Delta K\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1\times 5^2\\W=12.5\ J

So, 12.5 J of work is done to increase the speed of a 1.0 kg toy car by 5.0 m/s.

Briefly explain how einstein's special theory of relativity explains the perpendicular (right hand screw like) behavior of movin
ddd [48]

Einstein's special theory of relativity explains that the electric and magnetic fields are both can formulate together in mathematically.

It is given Einstein's special theory of relativity.

It is find the Einstein's special theory of relativity explains the perpendicular behavior of moving charges without recourse to invoking the concept of a magnetic field.

<h2>What is Einstein's special theory of relativity?</h2>

As we know that one charge creates a field and its that field that actually exerts a force on the other charge. Here we it gives the relationship of two fields like electric field and magnetic field and gives the formula for electromagnetic objects.

Special relativity fixes the problem by the points that the magnetic force in one frame of reference easily be an electric force in other and also some of the combination of them in a frame.

Thus, Einstein's special theory of relativity explains that the electric and magnetic fields are both can formulae together in mathematically.
