The reaction force when a hammer hits a nail is called the law of motion. This motion falls under Newton's Third Law.
What is a loud noise created when lightning rapidly hits the atmosphere?
The loud noise is called 'thunder' or 'a thunder clap'. The sudden increase in pressure and temperature from lightning produces rapid expansion of the air surrounding and within a bolt of lightning. In turn, this expansion of air creates a sonic shock wave which produces the sound of thunder.
What happens when steam hits a cold object like a plate?
The steam will condense and transfer its heat energy to the object.

Why does copper kill bacteria?
Copper is a highly conductive metal. The energy in cells tends to escape into copper, thus weakening its outer layers until they collapse. The oxygen and other chemicals spill onto the copper and copper ions enter the cell to cause more destruction. However, copper does not rust. Instead, when oxygen hits its surface, copper creates a protective layer called patina. This chemical reaction prevents oxygen from seeping into the metal.

Can Lightning and thunder occur simultaneously?
No. Thunder is the result of lightning when it hits the ground. After lightning hits the ground the air expands (because of the increase in temp.) and quickly condenses. That air condensing is what we hear when there is thunder. Because light travels faster than sound we see lightning then hear thunder.
