Answer:

Lightning is a discharge of electricity. A single stroke of lightning can heat the air around it to 30,000°C (54,000°F)! This extreme heating causes the air to expand explosively fast. The expansion creates a shock wave that turns into a booming sound wave, which is thunder.

Explanation:

The heating element of a coffeemaker operates at 120 V and carries a current of 4.50 A. Assuming the water absorbs all of the en
Bond [772]

Answer:

It will take 313.376 sec to raise temperature to boiling point

Explanation:

We have given that potential difference V = 120 Volt

Current i = 4.50 A

So resistance R=\frac{V}{i}=\frac{120}{4.50}=26.666ohm

Heat flow in resistor will be equal to Q=i^2Rt

It is given that this heat is used for boiling the water

Mass of the water = 0.525 kg = 525 gram

Specific heat of water 4.186 J/gram/°C

Initial temperature is given as 23°C

Boiling temperature of water = 100°C

So change in temperature = 100-23 = 77°C

Heat required to raise the temperature of water Q=mc\Lambda T

So 4.50^2\times 26.666\times t=525\times 4.186\times 77

t = 313.376 sec

So it will take 313.376 sec to raise temperature to boiling point

A grandfather clock keeps time using a pendulum consisting of a light rod connected to a small heavy mass. With a rod of length
german

Answer:

The length of the rod should be

\frac{L}{4} \\

Explanation:

Period of simple pendulum is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} \\

We have

\frac{T_1^2}{T_2^2}=\frac{l_1}{l_2}\\\\\frac{2^2}{1^2}=\frac{L}{l_2}\\\\l_2=\frac{L}{4} \\

The length of the rod should be

\frac{L}{4} \\

What should you do if you see lightning while you are outside exercising? Head inside Stay under a tree Lie in the grass Move qu
Arada [10]
If you are under a tree, they kind of act like lightning rods, so stay away from trees, so roll in dat grass. Fun Fact: Lightning comes from the ground more than it comes from the sky, its like when you rub a blanket on your head, some lil' lightnings come from your head while a little come from the blanket, its the same with grass and clouds only, 10000 volts stronger and deadly.

at the extact same time, youj drop a piece of notebook paper and your science out the window. the science book hit first? why?
jeyben [28]
The piece of paper has less mass and will glide down the window, whereas the textbook will go straight to the ground. Since the textbook has more mass and less ways of it being able to 'glide' the textbook will hit the ground first.

A soccer player applies a force of 48.4 N to a soccer ball while kicking it. If the ball has
AlekseyPX

Answer:

C. 110 m/s2

Explanation:

Force = Mass x Acceleration

Since we have the force and the mass, we can rearrange this equation to solve for acceleration by dividing both sides by mass:

Force/Mass = (Mass x Acceleration)/Mass

Acceleration = Force/Mass

Now we just have to plug in our values and calculate!

Acceleration = 48.4/0.44

Acceleration = 110m/s/s

It is option C. 110 m/s2

Hope this helped!
