When storm clouds produce lightening and thunder, then, potential energy changes into kinectic energy.

The clouds become negatively charged,and the ground is positively charged during a storm. So there creates a potential difference between the charged clouds and the ground. And when this becomes huge so much that it over comes the electrical insulation cover of air, the electrons jump to the ground.i.e. the potential energy changes into kinetic energy.

Answer: When storm clouds produce lightning and thunder, electric potential energy changes to light energy and sound energy.

Explanation:

A lightning occurs within cloud, between two clouds or cloud and ground whenever electric potential difference is created. Electric discharge occurs between the two electrically charged regions. The electric potential energy converts into light energy and sound energy. Lightning is oftenly accompanied by sound. Since the speed of light is much greater than speed of sound, we hear sound of lightning after seeing it.

Describe the parts of a lever. Include the following terms (fulcrum, resistance arm and effort arm).

yarga [219]

Answer:

hi here is your answer and this is a very important question.

Explanation:

A lever is a rigid bar with three parts: the fixed point around which the bar pivots is the fulcrum: the effort arm (in-lever arm) is the part of the lever to which force is applied; the resistance arm (out-lever arm) is the part that bears the load to be moved.

What are two situational examples of unbalanced forces?

polet [3.4K]

An example of a balanced force is two cards leaning against each other and not falling over, or two football players blocking each other but neither overpowering the other. An example of an unbalanced force is two cards leaning on each other then falling over, or two football players blocking each other, then one tackles the other.

What does convection mean

Sladkaya [172]

Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat

A 110 kg quarterback is running the ball downfield at 4.5 m/s in the positive direction when he is tackled head-on by a 150 kg l

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

$v_f=-0.29\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of momentum, states that if the sum of the forces acting on a system is null, the initial total momentum of the system before a collision equals the final total momentum of the system after the collision. The collision is completely inelastic, which means that the players remain stick to each other after the collision:

$p_i=p_f\\m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_f\\v_f=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\v_f=\frac{(110kg)4.5\frac{m}{s}+150kg(-3.8\frac{m}{s})}{(110kg+150kg)}\\v_f=-0.29\frac{m}{s}$

Light travels at a speed of close to 3 x 10^5 km/s in vacuum. Given that it takes light 8 min and 19 s to travel the distance fr

never [62]

Answer:

1497×10⁵ km

Explanation:

Speed of light in vacuum = 3×10⁵ km/s

Time taken by the light of the Sun to reach the Earth = 8 min and 19 s

Converting to seconds we get

8×60+19 = 499 seconds

Distance = Speed × Time

$\text{Distance}=3\times 10^5\times 499\\\Rightarrow \text{Distance}=1497\times 10^5\ km$

1 AU = 1497×10⁵ km

The Sun is 1497×10⁵ km from Earth
