Answer:

Lightning is a process that occurs when the positive and negative charges present in the cloud build up in such a manner that a spark of lightning occurs between the two of them in the cloud. ... A metal rod placed on top of a building to protect it from a lightning strike is known as a lightning conductor.

Explanation:

Lightning happens when the negative charges (electrons) in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges (protons) in the ground.


A lightning rod (US, AUS, CA) or lightning conductor (UK) is a metal rod mounted on a structure and intended to protect the structure from a lightning strike

A 40 kg girl and an 8.4 kg sled are on the surface of a frozen lake, 15 m apart. By means of a rope, the girl exerts a 5.2 N for
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

(a) a_s=0.62\frac{m}{s^2}

(b) a_s=0.13\frac{m}{s^2}

(c) x_f=2.6m

Explanation:

(a) According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force exerted on it and inversely proportional to it's mass.

a_s=\frac{F}{m_s}\\a_s=\frac{5.2N}{8.4kg}\\a_s=0.62\frac{m}{s^2}

(b) According to Newton's third law, the force that the sled exerts on the girl is equal in magnitude but opposite in the direction of the force that the girl exerts on the sled:

a_g=\frac{F}{m_g}\\a_g=\frac{5.2N}{40kg}\\a_g=0.13\frac{m}{s^2}

(c) Using the kinematics equation:

x_f=x_0+v_0t \pm  \frac{at^2}{2}

For the girl, we have x_0=0 and v_0=0. So:

x_f_g=\frac{a_gt^2}{2}(1)

For the sled, we have v_0=0. So:

x_f_s=x_0_s-\frac{a_st^2}{2}(2)

When they meet, the final positions are the same. So, equaling (1) and (2) and solving for t:

x_0_s-\frac{a_st^2}{2}=\frac{a_st^2}{2}\\t^2(a_g+a_s)=2x_0_s\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2x_s_0}{a_g+a_s}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2(15m)}{0.13\frac{m}{s^2}+0.62\frac{m}{s^2}}}\\t=6.32s

Now, we solve (1) for x_f_g

x_f_g=\frac{0.13\frac{m}{s^2}(6.32s)^2}{2}\\x_f_g=2.6m\\x_f=2.6m

What type of energy can take up space
Arada [10]

Answer:

Yes energy does take up space.

Explanation:

Every form of energy has a defining characteristic; sound is the vibration of molecules, electricity is the movement of electrons, and mass is the thing that take up space.

What are the wavelength ranges for the following? (a) the AM radio band (540–1600 kHz) maximum wavelength m minimum wavelength m
Pie

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) AM radio band (540–1600 kHz)

frequency = 540 kHz = 540 x 10³ Hz

wave length = velocity of light / frequency

= 3 x 10⁸ / 540 x 10³

= 555.55 m

frequency = 1600 kHz = 1600 x 10³ Hz

wave length = velocity of light / frequency

= 3 x 10⁸ / 1600 x 10³

= 187.5  m

maximum wavelength  =   555.55 m

minimum wavelength =  187.5 m

b )

AM radio band (88 - 108 MHz)

frequency = 88 MHz = 88 x 10⁶ Hz

wave length = velocity of light / frequency

= 3 x 10⁸ / 88 x 10⁶

= 3.41 m

frequency = 108 MHz = 108 x 10⁶ Hz

wave length = velocity of light / frequency

= 3 x 10⁸ / 108 x 10⁶

= 2.78  m

maximum wavelength  =   3.41 m

minimum wavelength =  2.78 m

If you find two stars with the same Right Ascension, are they necessarily close together in the sky? Why or why not?
shepuryov [24]

In space, spatial coordinates can be roughly divided into measures of Right ascension and declination. The declination is measured in degrees while the ascent is measured in hours, minutes, seconds. When you have objects in space such as those of the characteristics presented we will have to they are not necessarily close together in the sky because we can find two stars on the same right ascension but on different declination lines (Which means they can be very far apart from each other)
