Not really. Someone standing in a field with a metal rod will still get struck by lightning even if they are wearing rubber soles.

Does a golf ball conduct energy?

No, a golf ball does not conduct electricity as it is typically made of materials that are not conductive, such as rubber or plastic. The energy in a golf ball is primarily kinetic energy from being struck by a golf club.


What do lighting rods do?

Lightning rods are metal rods placed on top of buildings to protect them from being struck by lightning. The rods provide a path of least resistance for the lightning to follow, directing the electrical current safely into the ground to prevent damage to the structure.


Why is the lighting rod important?

A lightning rod is important because it helps protect buildings and structures from being struck by lightning. By providing a path for the electrical discharge of lightning to travel safely into the ground, a lightning rod helps prevent damage and reduce the risk of fire or injury.


Which type of energy transformation is involved in a match being struck and lit?

The energy transformation involved in striking and lighting a match is primarily chemical to thermal energy. When the match is struck, friction creates heat, causing the chemicals in the match head to react and produce a flame, which is a release of thermal energy.


Is a rubber band being stretched be potential or kinetic energy?

When a rubber band is being stretched, it contains potential energy. This potential energy is due to the elastic potential energy stored in the rubber band, which is ready to be converted into kinetic energy when the rubber band is released and allowed to snap back.

What is the worst conductor of electricity and why?

I believe that rubber is the worst conductor of electricity. Rubber is amorphous. The atoms within the rubber are not aligned in any particular order, so electrons do not move between them easily. In fact, rubber is used to protect against being shocked by electricity, by having wires be covered by the rubber.
