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.

Three ropes A, B and C are tied together in one single knot K. (See figure.)
noname [10]

The tension in the rope B is determined as 10.9 N.

<h3>Vertical angle of cable B</h3>

tanθ = (6 - 4)/(5 - 0)

tan θ = (2)/(5)

tan θ = 0.4

θ = arc tan(0.4) = 21.8 ⁰

<h3>Angle between B and C</h3>

θ = 21.8 ⁰ + 21.8 ⁰ = 43.6⁰

Apply cosine rule to determine the tension in rope B;

A² = B² + C² - 2BC(cos A)

B = C

A² = B² + B² - (2B²)(cos A)

A² = 2B² - 2B²(cos 43.6)

A² = 0.55B²

B² = A²/0.55

B² = 65.3/0.55

B² = 118.73

B = √(118.73)

B = 10.9 N

Thus, the tension in the rope B is determined as 10.9 N.

A flare is dropped from an airplane flying horizontally at uniform velocity (constant speed in a straight line). Neglecting air
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Option B (remain vertically under the plane) is the correct option.

Explanation:

  • A flare would follow a particle trajectory with horizontal direction somewhat like airplane velocity as well as initial maximum motion as null but instead, gravity will induce acceleration. It would be lowered vertically underneath the plane before flare had already sunk to something like the surface.
  • There is no different movement in the airplane nor even the flash. And none of them can change its horizontal level.  

Some other alternatives are given really aren't linked to the specified scenario. So choice B is the perfect solution to that.
