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, <u>electric potential </u>energy changes to <u>light </u>energy and <u>sound </u>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.

<h2>Answer: 469 feet</h2>

Explanation:

This problem is a good example of Vertical motion, where the main equation for this situation is:

y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (1)

Where:

y is the height of the stone at 6s (the value we want to find)

y_{o}=925ft is the initial height of the stone

V_{o}=20ft/s is the initial velocity of the stone

t=6s is the time  at which we need to find the height

g=32ft/s^{2} is the acceleration due to gravity

Having this clear, let's find y from (1):

y=925ft+(20ft/s)(6s)-\frac{1}{2}(32ft/s^{2})(6s)^{2} (2)

Finally:

y=469ft This is the height of the stone at t=6s

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

T/√8

Explanation:

From Kepler's law, T² ∝ R³ where T = period of planet and R = radius of planet.

For planet A, period = T and radius = 2R.

For planet B, period = T' and radius = R.

So, T²/R³ = k

So, T²/(2R)³ = T'²/R³

T'² = T²R³/(2R)³

T'² = T²/8

T' = T/√8

So, the number of hours it takes Planet B to complete one revolution around the star is T/√8
