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.

Trey races his bicycle for 192m. A wheel of his bicycle turns 48 times as the bicycle travels this distance. What is the diamete
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

1.27 m

Explanation:

Distance = 192 m

number of rotations = 48

Distance traveled in one rotation = 2 x π x r

Where, r be the radius of wheel.

so, distance traveled in 48 rotations = 48 x 2 x 3.14 x r

It is equal to the distance traveled.

192 = 48 x 2 x 3.14 x r

r = 0.637 m

diameter of wheel = 2 x radius of wheel = 2 x 0.637 = 1.27 m

-- Bob covered a distance of (32m + 45m) = 77 meters.

-- His displacement is the straight-line distance and direction
from his starting point to his ending point.

The straight-line distance is

D = √(32² + 45²)
D = √(1,024 + 2,025)
D = √3,049 = 55.22 meters

The direction is the angle whose tangent is (32/45) south of east.

tan⁻¹(32/45) = tan⁻¹(0.7111...) = 35.42° south of east.

Twin​ brothers, Andy and​ Brian, can mow their​ grandparents lawn together in 1212 minutes. Brian would mow the lawn by himself
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

It will take Andy 1.198minutes to mow the lawn and it will take Brian 1,209.98minutes to mow the same lawn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the simultaneous equation concept, let A denote Andy and B be Brian

Andy and Brian can mow the lawn for 1212minutes i.e A+B = 1212..eqn 1

If Brian would mow the lawn by himself in 1010 minutes more than it would take Andy, this means B=1010A...eqn 2.

Substituting eqn 2 into eqn 1

Equation 1 becomes

A+1010A=1212

1011A=1212

A=1212/1011

A=1.198

B = 1010×1.198

B=1,209.98

Therefore, It will take Andy 1.198minutes to mow the lawn and it will take Brian 1,209.98minutes to mow the same lawn.
