Explanation:
Trees, because of their height, are natural lightning rods. Electricity seeks the path of least resistance, and the moisture inside a tree is a much better conductor than air. This means a tree provides the preferred path for lightning to reach the ground.
Answer:
The value is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The weight of the block is 
The dimension of the block is 
Generally two atmosphere is equivalent to

Generally 1 atm = 
The area of the block would be evaluated using width and height because we need for the smaller surface to be in contact with the ground in order to maximize the pressure and minimize number of blocks
So

=> 
Generally the force due to this blocks is mathematically represented as

Here N is the number of blocks
So

=> 
Answer:
The direction is due south
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The energy of the electron is 
The earths magnetic field is 
Generally the force on the electron is perpendicular to the velocity of the elecrton and the magnetic field and this is mathematically reresented as

On the first uploaded image is an illustration of the movement of the electron
Looking at the diagram we can see that in terms of direction the magnetic force is


generally i cross k = -j
so the equation above becomes


This show that the direction is towards the south
Answer:
1 * 10^-7 [J]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use dimensional analysis.
1 ergos [erg] is equal to 1 * 10^-7 Joules [J]
![1[erg]*\frac{1*10^{-7} }{1}*[\frac{J}{erg} ] \\= 1*10^{-7}[J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1%5Berg%5D%2A%5Cfrac%7B1%2A10%5E%7B-7%7D%20%7D%7B1%7D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7BJ%7D%7Berg%7D%20%5D%20%5C%5C%3D%201%2A10%5E%7B-7%7D%5BJ%5D)
