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

What’s contact force ?

kodGreya [7K]

Explanation:

Contact force is any force that requires contact. An object that exerts a force on another object by touching it is exerting a contact force. Examples of contact force are friction and normal force.

Examples of a non-contact force are gravity and magnetism.

How fast would the car need to go to double its kinetic energy?

boyakko [2]

Answer:

$v_{f} = \sqrt{2}\cdot v_{o}$

Explanation:

Let consider a car travelling at a speed $v_{o}$ . The ratio of final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy:

$\frac{\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}_{f} }{\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}_{o}} = 2$

$\frac{v_{f}}{v_{o}} = \sqrt{2}$

The final speed is:

$v_{f} = \sqrt{2}\cdot v_{o}$

An initially motionless test car is accelerated uniformly to 120 km/h in 8.28 s before striking a simulated deer. The car is in

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The value is $a = 4.0 \ m/s^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The velocity is $a = 120 \ km/h = [tex]\frac{120 * 1000}{3600} = 33.3 \ m/s$ [/tex]

The time taken is $t = 8.28 \ s$

The time taken for contact is $t_c = 0.815 \ s$

The velocity of the of the car after contact is $v_c = 71.0 \ km/h = [tex]\frac{71 *1000}{3600} = 19.7 2 \ m/s$ [/tex]

From the equation of kinematics we have that

$v = u + at$

Here u = 0 \ m/s since the car is initially motionless

=> $33.3 = 0 + a * 8.28$

=> $a = 4.0 \ m/s^2$
