<u>Answer:</u>

<h3>During wet and freezing temperatures, ice is able to form at a faster pace on bridges because freezing winds blow from above and below and both sides of the bridge, causing heat to quickly escape. The road freezes slower because it is merely losing heat through its surface.</h3>

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer from Poland, who was born on the 19th of February in the year 1473. He played a great role in the field of modern astronomy.

He was the person who contributed to the heliocentric theory. This theory describes the position of the sun in the middle of the universe, and all the planets move around the sun. This theory was initially not accepted, and after about a century it was widely accepted.

This theory describes the present-day motion of the planets around the sun in the solar system. This theory replaced the geocentric theory.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

The energy in the typical thunderstorm is about 1.4×1011j. a typical lightning flash transfers 30 c across a potential differenc
iragen [17]
780 seconds, or 13 minutes.

In the future, please use proper capitalization. There's a significant difference in the meaning between mV and MV. One of them indicated millivolts while the other indicates megavolts. For this problem, I'll make the following assumptions about the values presented. They are:
Total energy = 1.4x10^11 Joules (J)
Current per flash = 30 Columbs (C)
Potential difference = 30 Mega Volts (MV)

First, let's determine the power discharged by each bolt. That would be the current multiplied by the voltage, so
30 C * 30x10^6 V = 9x10^8 CV = 9x10^8 J

Now that we know how many joules are dissipated per flash, let's determine how flashes are needed.
1.4x10^11 / 9x10^8 = 1.56E+02 = 156

Since each flash takes 5 seconds, that means that it will take about 5 * 156 = 780 seconds which is about 780/60 = 13 minutes.
