Does lightning come from the ground? I have heard that lightning comes from the ground up. But when it strikes something on land

, it's the top of that object that gets destroyed.

Lightning does not come from the ground. It comes from the sky, mostly during thunderstorms. Watch the sky the next time you see a thunderstorm. You might see the lightning strike.

I don't know the ratio between the modes, but lightning can consist of an electric current from cloud to ground, or from ground to cloud, or between two clouds.

Newton’s Laws of Motion are absolute in classical physics. One example that uses all three laws simultaneously is the firing of
Debora [2.8K]
I think that by "Classical physics" is meant low speed things. By low speed, I think is meant speed far below very roughly half the speed of light, so that Relativistic, special or general, effects can be ignored. Or at least it is hoped that they can be ignored. 
Fire extinguishers and rockets get propelled by forcing out large amounts of material (gases under very high pressure) through a nozzle, and the RECOIL from that propels something forward. So, if the action is the ejection of material, the reaction (recoil) is the ejector moving along the same line in the other direction. And that's an example of Newton's third law. 
Given a propulsion system, the magnitude of the force recoiling on the ejector will change the momentum of the ejector, often written as the equation F=ma where F is the force, m is the mass being accelerated, and a being the acceleration.
Just as something will stay still until it is moved - inertia - so once set in uniform motion in a straight line, the thing will continue in that motion, theoretically for ever or until something alters its momentum. Newton's first law is to the effect of "every body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted on by a resultant external force". Which, I think, is where the concept of inertia stems from. 
I think that the above mostly tcuches on the 3 laws.Any more help needed, please ask.

A robot on a basketball court needs to throw the ball in the hoop. The ball have a velocity of 10 m/s and an an angle of 60 degr
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Initial velocity = 10 m/s

θ = 60°

This is the case of projectile motion

So the horizontal component of velocity 10 m/s  =  10 cosθ

u = 10 cosθ

u = 10 cos 60°

u=5 m/s

x= 5 m

So in the horizontal direction

x = u .t

5 = 5 .t

t = 1 sec  The vertical component of velocity 10 m/s = 10 sinθ

Vo= 10 sinθ

Vo= 10 sin 60°

Vo = 8.66 m/s

V^2=V_o^2+2gh

0=V_o^2-2gh

0=8.66^2-2\times 10\times h

h=3.75 m

So height of robot = 3.75 - 0.75 m

   height of robot =3 m

A 23.0 kg iron weightlifting plate has a volume of 2920 cm3 . what is the density of the iron plate in g/cm3?
yanalaym [24]
The first thing you should know for this case is that density is defined as the quotient between mass and volume:
 D = M / V
 In addition, you should keep in mind the following conversion:
 1Kg = 1000g
 Substituting the values we have:
 D = (23.0 * 1000) / (2920) = 7.88 g / cm ^ 3
 answer
 the density of the iron plate is 7.88 g / cm ^ 3
