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.

Pierre cycles at 4 miles per hour and travels a distance of 13 miles. How long
amm1812

Answer:

His journey took him 3 hours 15 minutes.

Explanation: 4 miles every hour. So 1 hr is equal to 4 miles, 2 hrs is equal to 8 miles, 3 hrs is equal to 12 miles. Now he just has 1 miles left, and since it takes him a hour to cycle 4 miles, 60 divided by 4 is 15. Therefore, 1 mile is equal to 15 minutes.

A wave is represented by the equation y = 0.20 sin [ 0.4π (x – 60t)], where x and y are in cm and t is in s. The velocity of the
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

v = 60 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

A wave is represented by the equation :

y=0.2\sin [0.4\pi (x-60)t]

We need to find the velocity of the wave

The general equation of a wave is given by :

y=A\sin (kx-\omega t) ....(1)

Equation (1) can be written as :

y=0.2\sin (0.4\pi x-24\pi t) ...(2)

If we compare equation (1) and (2) we get :

k=0.4\pi

\omega=24\pi

The velocity of a wave is given by :

v=\dfrac{\omega}{k}\\\\v=\dfrac{24\pi}{0.4\pi}\\\\v=60\ m/s

So, the velocity of the wave is 60 m/s.

Air is a mixture.

as per definition, mixture is a combination we get after adding two or more things together in any proportion.

air is a mixture because it contains a number of gases like nitrogen , oxygen, carbon dioxide. it also contains dust particles, small organisms, water vapors etc.

carbon monoxide is not a mixture as it is formed from fixed proportion of carbon and oxygen.

similarly, water is is not a mixture as it is formed from fixed proportion of hydrogen and oxygen.
