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.

You are watching a television show about Navy pilots. The narrator says that when a Navy jet takes off, the average force on the jet is due to the catapult is mathematically given as

What is the average force on the jet is due to the catapult?

Generally, the equation for acceleration is mathematically given as

a=\frac{vf^2-vi^2}{2s}\\\\\Therefore\\\\a=\frac{69.29^2-0^2}{2(90}\\\\a=26.673m/s^2

In conclusion, The force

F=m*a

F=15100*26.673

F=40272.3N

F 402 KN

Explain, step by step, how to calculate the amount of current (I) that will go through the resistor in this circuit
anygoal [31]

Answer:

0.03 A

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Resistor (R) = 470 Ω

Current (I) =?

From ohm's law, the voltage, current and resistor are related by the following formula:

Voltage = current × resistor

V = IR

With the above formula, we can obtain the current in the circuit as follow:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Resistor (R) = 470 Ω

Current (I) =?

V = IR

12 = I × 470

Divide both side by 470

I = 12 / 470

I = 0.03 A

Thus, the current in the circuit is 0.03 A

Bowling balls are roughly the same size, but come in a variety of weights. Given its official radius of roughly 0.110 m, calcula
velikii [3]

Answer:

6.1328 kg

60.16284 N

Explanation:

r = Radius of ball = 0.11 m

\rho = Density of fluid = 1.1\times 10^3\ kg/m^3 (Assumed)

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

m = Mass of ball

V = Volume of ball = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

The weight of the bowling ball will balance the buouyant force

W=F_b\\\Rightarrow mg=V\rho g\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{V\rho g}{g}\\\Rightarrow m=V\rho\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{4}{3}\pi 0.11^3\times 1.1\times 10^3\\\Rightarrow m=6.1328\ kg

The mass of the bowling ball will be 6.1328 kg

Weight will be 6.1328\times 9.81=60.16284\ N

A car travels straight for 20 miles on a road that is 30° north of east. What is the east component of the car’s displacement
Over [174]

The east component of the cars displacement is 17.3 miles.

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the sides of a right angled triangle and its angles.

Let x represent the east component of the cars displacement.

Using trigonometric ratio:

cos(30) = x / 20

x = 20 * cos(30)

x = 17.3 miles

The east component of the cars displacement is 17.3 miles.
