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.

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

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

v = K √(E / ρ)

Explanation:

Modulus of elasticity has units of N/m², or kg/m/s².

Density has units of kg/m³.

Velocity has units of m/s.

If we divide modulus of elasticity by density, we can eliminate kg:

E / ρ = [kg/m/s²] / [kg/m³]

E / ρ = [m²/s²]

Taking the square root gets us units of velocity:

√(E / ρ) = [m/s]

Multiply by the constant K:

v = K √(E / ρ)

Sam wants to get a refrigerator into a moving truck. He chooses to use a ramp to accomplish the task that is 25 meters long. If
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ignoring friction and assuming one ramp end rests on level ground.

gravity acceleration acting parallel to the ramp is gsinθ.

F = mgsinθ

mg = 250 N,  sinθ = 3/25

F = 250(3/25)

F = 30 N

A 25 meter long ramp strong enough to hold a person plus a 250 N refrigerator would weigh much more than 250 N.

Give an example of a collision in real life. Use the law of conservation of energy to describe the transfer of momentum. Be sure
ozzi

Explanation :

Using the law of conservation of energy  

When two cars collide with each other then the momentum is same before collision and after collision but energy is changed after collision in form of heat and sound.

We know this collision is inelastic collision.

In Inelastic collision, when two objects collide with each other then the momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved.
