The current is defined as the amount of charge transferred through a certain point in a certain time interval:

where
I is the current
Q is the charge

is the time interval
For the lightning bolt in our problem, Q=6.0 C and

, so the average current during the event is
Answer:
Explanation: Please see my attached calculations.

Explanation:
set h = 0 at the end of slide.
final height is -12m
initial condition will be Ui = 0
Ki = 1/2mv² = 1/2 x 61 x (27)² = 22234.5J
Final condition is Ui = mgh = 61 x 9.8 x -12 = -7173J
Ki = 1/2mv²
Ki= 1/2 x 61 x (16)² = 7808J
conservation energy says that
Ui + Ki = Uf +Kf +ΔEth
so ΔEth = Ui + Ki - Uf - Kf
ΔEth = 22234.5 - 7808 + 7173
ΔEth = 21600J
ΔEth =22Kj
