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

Answer:

The object will have an upward acceleration

Explanation:

Let's consider the forces applied on the box. We have only two forces:

- The applied force of push, $F_p$ , downward

- The force of gravity, $W$ , (also known as weight of the object), downward

Therefore, the net force on the box is:

$F_{net}=F_p -W$

Here, we know that force applied is equal or greater than the weight, so

$F_p \geq W$

And therefore the net force is greater than zero:

$F_{net}\geq 0$ (1)

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

$F_{net}=ma$

where

m is the mass of the box

a is its acceleration

Given (1), this means that

$a\geq 0$

Therefore, the box will have an upward acceleration.

In this case force example we have:

$F_p = 100 N\\W = 40 N$

So the mass of the box is

$m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{40}{10}=4 kg$

So the net force is

$F_{net}=F_p-W=100-40=60 N$

And the acceleration is

$a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{60}{4}=15 m/s^2$
