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

A robot on a basketball court needs to throw the ball in the hoop. The ball have a velocity of 10 m/s and an an angle of 60 degr
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Initial velocity = 10 m/s

θ = 60°

This is the case of projectile motion

So the horizontal component of velocity 10 m/s  =  10 cosθ

u = 10 cosθ

u = 10 cos 60°

u=5 m/s

x= 5 m

So in the horizontal direction

x = u .t

5 = 5 .t

t = 1 sec  The vertical component of velocity 10 m/s = 10 sinθ

Vo= 10 sinθ

Vo= 10 sin 60°

Vo = 8.66 m/s

V^2=V_o^2+2gh

0=V_o^2-2gh

0=8.66^2-2\times 10\times h

h=3.75 m

So height of robot = 3.75 - 0.75 m

   height of robot =3 m
