The answer to the question can charging by friction occur only in solids is no. not at all. the static charge generated by following fluids can be hazardous. just as the static discharge when you touch a doorknob produces a spark, lightening is the spark from the static charge built up in the atmosphere.
Answer:
d = 1.07 mile
Explanation:
The rationale for this method is that the speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound, the definition of speed in uniform motion is
v = d / t
d = v t
the speed of sound is worth
v = 343 m / s
Therefore, the speed of sound must be multiplied by time to do this, all the units must be in the same system, as the distance in miles is requested
v = 343 m/s (1mile/1609 m) (3600s/1 h) = 343 (2.24) = 767.4 mile/h
v = 343 m / s (1 mile / 1609 m) = 0.213, mile/ s
If the measured time is t = 5s we multiply it by the speed
we substitute
d = 0.213 5
d = 1.07 mile
If you want to calculate the speed, this method in general is not widely used, since you must know the distance where the lightning occurred, which is relatively complicated.
