Great question!

Thunder and lightning happen at the same time, but because light travels faster than sound, we see lightning before we hear thunder.

Because the light from it travels to you about 874 thousand times
as fast as the sound does, so the hearing part falls behind the seeing
part.

In which direction is the magnetic force acting on the charge? into the screen out of the screen up down
Harrizon [31]

The direction in which the magnetic force is acting on the charge is upwards.

<h3>What is Magnetic force?</h3>

This is the attraction and repulsion which usually occurs during the motion of electrically charged particles.

In the magnetic field, the charge is moving to the left. Therefore the direction the magnetic force is acting on the charge is upwards which is gotten via right hand rule.

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

U₂ = 20 J

KE₂ = 40 J

v= 12.64 m/s

Explanation:  

Given that

H= 12 m

m = 0.5 kg

h= 4 m

The potential energy at position 1

U₁ = m g H

U₁ = 0.5 x 10 x 12        ( take g= 10 m/s²)

U₁ = 60 J

The potential energy at position 2

U₂ = m g h

U ₂= 0.5 x 10 x 4        ( take g= 10 m/s²)

U₂ = 20 J

The kinetic energy at position 1

KE= 0

The kinetic energy at position 2

KE= 1/2 m V²

From energy conservation

U₁+KE₁=U₂+KE₂

By putting the values

60 - 20 = KE₂

KE₂ = 40 J

lets take final velocity is v m/s

KE₂= 1/2 m v²

By putting the values

40 = 1/2 x 0.5 x v²

160 = v²

v= 12.64 m/s
