When storm clouds produce lightening and thunder, then, potential energy changes into kinectic energy.

The clouds become negatively charged,and the ground is positively charged during a storm. So there creates a potential difference between the charged clouds and the ground. And when this becomes huge so much that it over comes the electrical insulation cover of air, the electrons jump to the ground.i.e. the potential energy changes into kinetic energy.

Answer: When storm clouds produce lightning and thunder, electric potential energy changes to light energy and sound energy.

Explanation:

A lightning occurs within cloud, between two clouds or cloud and ground whenever electric potential difference is created. Electric discharge occurs between the two electrically charged regions. The electric potential energy converts into light energy and sound energy. Lightning is oftenly accompanied by sound. Since the speed of light is much greater than speed of sound, we hear sound of lightning after seeing it.

igomit [66]

Answer:

The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.

Explanation:

The amount of gas that a helicopter uses for flying varies directly proportional to the number of hours spent flying.

g ∝ T

where g represents amount of gas and T time of flight.

Then,

$\therefore \frac{g_1}{g_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}$

The helicopter files 4 hours and uses 28 gallons of fuel.

Here, g₁= 28 gallons, T₁=4 hours

g₂=?, T₂=5 hours.

$\therefore \frac{g_1}{g_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{28}{g_2}=\frac{4}{5}$

⇒28×5= g₂×4

⇒ g₂×4=28×5

$\Rightarrow g_2=\frac{28\times 5}{4}$

$\Rightarrow g_2=35$ gallons

The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.

Water that flows from behind a large dam can cause machines to produce electricity. What change takes place?

lyudmila [28]

The mechanical energy in the falling water is used to spin the generator, and gets transformed into electrical energy. That's the first choice on the list.

In classical physics, consider a 2 kg block hanging on a spring with a spring constant of 50 N/m. Ignore air resistance. The blo

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

v = 0

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by taking into account:

- The equation for the calculation of the period in a spring-masss system

$T = \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$ ( 1 )

- The equation for the velocity of a simple harmonic motion

$x = \frac{2\pi }{T}Asin(\frac{2\pi }{T}t)$ ( 2 )

where m is the mass of the block, k is the spring constant, A is the amplitude (in this case A = 14 cm) and v is the velocity of the block

Hence

$T = \sqrt{\frac{2 kg}{50 N/m}} = 0.2 s$

and by reeplacing it in ( 2 ):

$v = \frac{2\pi }{0.2s}(14cm)sin(\frac{2\pi }{0.2s}(0.9s)) = 140\pi sin(9\pi ) = 0$

In this case for 0.9 s the velocity is zero, that is, the block is in a position with the max displacement from the equilibrium.

Explanation:

Ross here is longing for social inclusion.

He decides to campaign for the his fraternity brother not by choice or will but by peer pressure and social inclusion because most of the students campaigned for Henry so he supports Henry as well. Moreover, he did not be feel left out and he did not have a clear preference as well.
