SVEN [57.7K]3 years ago

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.

Emmett is lifting a box vertically. Which forces are necessary for calculating the total force?
GrogVix [38]

When Emmett is lifting a box vertically, the forces that must be added to calculate the total force are: the gravitational force, tension force(the force exerted by Emmett to the box and the force exerted by the box to Emmett), and air resistance force.

An aerobatic airplane pilot experiences weightlessness as she passes over the top of a loop-the-loop maneuver. the acceleration
Yanka [14]
The acceleration due to gravity serves as the centripetal acceleration of the objects that orbits the Earth. The centripetal acceleration due to gravity is calculated through the equation,

    a = v²/r

where v is the speed and r is the radius. Substituting the known values to the equation,

   9.8 m/s² = (420 m/s)² / r

The value of r from the equation is 18000 m or equal to 18 km.

<em>Answer: 18 km</em>

Select the statement that correctly lists the forces from strongest to weakest. (2 points)
Vilka [71]

Strong Nuclear force: it is the short range force and strongest fundamental force in all type of forces.

Electromagnetism: this is the force due to magnetic and electric behavior of the particles. It is moderate type of force and its range is more than Nuclear force.

Weak Nuclear Force: This force is also short range force which act between the nucleoside. But this force is also moderate type of force

Gravitational force: this force is between two point masses and least order of force. also the range of this force is upto infinite.

so the correct order of this fundamental force is

<em>strong nuclear, electromagnetism, weak nuclear, gravitational</em>
