Answer:

Lightning

Explanation:

Air is a non-conductor of electricity because it does not have free electrons to carry the current. But when there is a high voltage, as in the case of lightning, the molecules of air get ionized and electrons are available to flow to make the current and conduct electricity through the air.

Hydroelectric power is produced by
scoundrel [369]

Hydro electric power is the process of  production of electricity from the mechanical energy of water.

In the process of generation of  hydro electricity ,large dams are constructed  in which the water is stored.The water present at top of the dam has potential energy.The water is driven downward  with high pressure. During the falling of water,the potential energy of the water is converted into equivalent kinetic energy. The water coming down with a heavy speed is allowed to fall on a turbine which is connected to a generator.

The mechanical energy of water drives the turbine and electricity is generated due to the electromagnetic induction .

Hence the option A is right i.e falling water that turns the turbine.

A ray of light strikes a smooth surface and is reflected. The angle of incidence is 35°. What can be predicted about the angle o
andreev551 [17]
By the law of reflection which says that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence, which in other words says, sin x = sin y, it can be said, based on the given that the angle of reflection is also equal to the angle of incidence of 35 degrees

Illusion [34]

Answer:

8.9 m/s^2

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the lenght of the pendulum

g is the acceleration due to gravity at the location of the pendulum

We notice from the formula that the period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass of the system

In this problem:

-The pendulum comes back to the point of release exactly 2.4 seconds after the release. --> this means that the period of the pendulum is

T = 2.4 s

- The length of the pendulum is

L = 1.3 m

Re-arranging the equation for g, we can find the acceleration due to gravity on the planet:

g=(\frac{2\pi}{T})^2 L=(\frac{2\pi}{2.4})^2(1.3)=8.9 m/s^2
