Can batteries make lightning?

Batteries do not create lightning. Lightning is a natural phenomenon that occurs due to the buildup of electrical charges in the atmosphere. However, batteries can generate electricity which can be used to power devices that could create artificial light or spark, but this is not the same as lightning.


Does shaking cold water make it warm?

No, shaking cold water does not make it warm. Temperature is determined by the amount of thermal energy present in a substance, and shaking does not create heat.


What is the total kinetic energy of the particles that make up a substance?

Heat


How much energy does it take to make batteries?

The amount of energy required to produce batteries can vary depending on the type and size of the battery. The production process typically involves a combination of energy-intensive steps, such as mining raw materials, manufacturing components, and assembly. Overall, the energy input for battery production can be significant but can be offset by the energy savings achieved during the use phase of the battery's life cycle.


Why do the wires get hot when connecting two 12v batteries to make it 24v?

When connecting two 12V batteries in series to create a 24V system, the wires can get hot due to resistance in the wires and the current flowing through them. If the wires are undersized for the load or if there is a poor connection, the increased resistance leads to power loss in the form of heat, as described by Joule's law (heat generated is proportional to the current squared times the resistance). Additionally, if the batteries are not balanced or if there is a short circuit, excessive current can further exacerbate the heating issue. Proper wire gauge and secure connections can help mitigate this problem.

Why are batteries usful?

Batteries are useful because they are use to make things work and that energy is electricity.


How can you make a fire using batteries?

To make a fire using batteries, you can create a spark by connecting the positive and negative terminals of the batteries to a conductive material, such as steel wool or a piece of wire. The electrical current passing through the material will generate heat, which can ignite flammable materials like paper or dry leaves to start a fire.


How does thermal energy make heat?

Thermal energy doesn't actually make heat. We just feel it as heat.


What two things does your body use to create more energy?

You cannot CREATE energy but the human body can transform energy from one kind (chemical energy in the bonds that make up food and oxygen in the air we breath) into other types of energy (heat, potential energy - by lifting something).

How are rechargeable batteries energy effecient?

They reduce the use of metal used to make them. (i.e. when you get disposable batteries the metal is disposed) but if you recharge batteries, it will reduce the costs of making.
