Which is NOT a sign that a double displacement reaction has occurred?
1) Formation of a precipitate 2) Usually there is a colour change. 3)Neutralization reactions (also a double displ. reaction) involving an acid and a base form water which is a clue.
Is an insulator is a substance through which energy travels easily?
Materials which usually prevent charges from flowing through a circuit. They can be forced to conduct electricity if the charges have enough energy, i.e. if the voltage is high enough. This is evident during a lightning storm when the air, normally a very good insulator, is turned into a conductor to allow the lightning bolt to travel through the air.
What is the designation for a grade 5 bolt?
A grade 5 hex bolt has 3 radial lines formed into the top of the head. Bolt manufacturers can provide listings of bolt markings and their corresponding strength ratings.
Is a shoe a conductor?
Clearly you are asking about the insulation strength of a shoe. What kind - wet or dry? If the shoe is wet it will conduct enough electricity to shock your foota tiny little bit if you put your foot in it. But if it is not wet the only thing that could shock your foot while in it would be something like a lightning bolt.
What types of energy are there in a thunderstorm?
In a thunderstorm there is:kinetic energy in every atom and moleculesound energychemical energy in the waterthermal energy in every atom and moleculeelectrical energy in the lightning and clouds
When a lightning bolt transfers a charge of 17 coulombs when it strikes the ground. How many electrons does the lightning bolt transfer as it strikes the ground?
If a lightening bolt transfers twenty three coulombs to earth how many electrons are transferred?
How long is a lightning bolt?
it depends on what it strikes
What is it called when lightning strikes the ground?
Static discharge is causes the spark that is seen when electricity in a thunderhead discharges. The most common name for this type of spark or discharge is lightening.
What is the Weakest lightning bolt?
the weakest lightning bolt is ground current in dry land
What tragedy strikes Odysseus at sea?
Zeus sends a lightning bolt
How powerful is bolt of lightning?
An average bolt of negative lightning carries an electric current of 30,000 amperes (30 kA), and transfers 15 coulombs of electric charge and 500 megajoules of energy.Positive lightning strikes typically carry six to ten times the charge and voltage difference of a negative bolt.
Lighting strikes in which direction?
Lightning typically comes from the elctrical static in clouds. However it can also come up from the ground and intermingle with a bolt of lightning coming down from the clouds. But mostly from the clouds above.Sandman
Do electrical charges left in the earth from lightning affect people?
No. When a bolt of lighting strikes the ground, the electrical charge dissipates to ground very quickly. The lightning may cause fires or destroy trees or steeples, but the residual charge is gone within seconds.
Why can you hear the sound of the thunder faster if you place your ear against the ground?
Because the ground is denser than air. The noise of the thunder, form where the lightning bolt strikes the earth, travels faster in the ground than it does through the air.
What happens when lightning strikes the ground?
I read a book by an electrical engineer who said, "When lightning strikes the earth. there is a positive charge in the earth from which sends runners up toward the base of a cumulonimbus cloud which has a negative charge. The negative charge sends out runners toward the runners of positive charge. When the two charges meet, the lightning charge goes toward the earth and the result is a bolt of lightning.
Should you swim in an indoor pool when it is lightning?
Although it might seem that the pool is "ground" when lightning strikes, the electrical current from the strike itself is not limited to exactly the spot where the bolt strikes. Because there is resistance in the water and in the ground, there is a large voltage difference between the spot where the bolt strikes and to areas tens of feet away. If your body is within this zone, a voltage differential is built up across your body and a large electrical current can pass through you causing pain, burns, or death.
What is the Greek god Zeus' job?
he strikes people down with a lightning bolt when they disrespect the gods
