Thunderstorms and Lightning

A little. Momentum is mass times velocity. The more momentum and object has the harder it is to stop. So the more momentum a bobsled has the more effective it will be against the forces trying to slow it down such as friction, wind resistance, drag, etc.

However, this does assume that the bobsled team can get the heavier sled up to the same speed as a lighter one.

Earthquakes can disrupt habitats by causing land movement, altering topography, and triggering landslides. Tsunamis can lead to flooding and saltwater intrusion, destroying habitats and displacing wildlife. Both events can disrupt food sources, breeding sites, and migration routes for wildlife populations.

Damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) is more likely to permanently damage a computer component as it can often cause immediate and irreparable harm to sensitive electronic parts. While damage from electromagnetic interference (EMI) can also affect computer components, it is usually more temporary and can be mitigated by proper shielding or grounding techniques.

The frequency of the sound wave gives rise to the perception of pitch. Pitch is synonymous to frequency (which is the number of complete waves, or cycles, per second). The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch, and vice versa. Pitch

You should always stay away from trees that's for sure. Most importantly do not be or be near the highest structure or growth. Stay off high ground, and do not be holding anything that will conduct electricity, such as a golf club (graphite will conduct electricity as readily ans titanium or steel too) or an aluminum baseball bat.

When two or more pitches are sounded together and you perceive that combined blended sound to be pleasing, you call the sound a harmony. Harmony is the result of notes played simultaneously in a way that is pleasing to the ear.

Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon are powerless, radio reports said Wednesday.

As of 6 a.m. Wednesday, the Manila Electric Company (Meralco) said that only 46 out of its 688 (6.7 %) distribution circuits and 32 out of 84 (38 %) sub-transmission lines have been restored.

"This translates to around 365,000 or 7.8% out of the 4.7 million Meralco customers to whom power has already been restored," the power company said in an online update.

Meralco said the following areas will continue to experience power outage: portions of Laguna (Canlubang, Calamba, Lisp); Ternate, Cavite; Sta. Maria and Meycauayan Bulacan, and; portions of Metro Manila including Balintawak, Diliman, Kaybiga, Bagbaguin and Quezon City, among others.

Meralco said that the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has declared a system-wide blackout as of 12:42 am of July 14.

"Restoration of power started at 3:24 am, after the strong winds of typhoon Basyang subsided. This came shortly after Kalayaan unit 4 was synchronized at 3:20 a.m.," it said.

"Our crews have been working round the clock to restore power in affected areas. We would like to ensure first, too, that all obstructions have been cleared in some areas, like toppled trees and billboards, before we restore power to assure the safety of everyone. However, we are also constrained in our restoration work as some transmission facilities were affected by the strong winds. This results in limited power that we can distribute at the moment. We would, however, continue to coordinate with all concerned parties to be able to restore power at the soonest and most reasonable time possible," Meralco External Communications Head Joe Zaldarriaga said.

As of 10 a.m. Wednesday (Manila time), Pagasa said tropical storm Basyang is located 150 km southwest of Iba, Zambales. It still packs maximum sustained winds of 95 kph and gustiness of up to 120 kph. It is also moving at 22 kph.

"Basyang had a direct hit in Metro Manila yesterday night and earlier. That's why the winds were howling," according to Pagasa's Twitter account.

Pagasa said tropical storm Basyang is expected to be 600 km west of Iba, Zambales.

Storm warning signal number one is now up in Batangas, Lubang Island, Bataan, Zambales, Northern Mindoro, and Metro Manila.

Classes have been suspended in pre-, primary and high schools in the Metro. Some universities have also announced suspension of classes early Wednesday. Some public and private offices have also decided to close.

In a briefing aired over local radio, President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III scolded officials of the state weather bureau for failing to give earlier warning about the changes in the direction of the typhoon Basyang.

Aquino has asked the state weather bureau to explain why there was no warning about the typhoon hitting Metro Manila late Tuesday night. Storm signal number 2 was only up in Metro Manila late Tuesday.

Pagasa director Prisco Nilo later clarified that President Aquino was not angry but just wanted the agency to improve its weather forecasting methods.

Power went out before midnight, as typhoon Basyang hits Central Luzon.

"This is the last time that this is going to happen," Aquino told officials of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration.

He has called for an emergency meeting with the National Disaster Coordinating Council to assess the damage caused by the typhoon.

Typhoon Basyang ripped through the country, leaving a trail of wreckage in Manila and sweeping shanties into the sea, officials and witnesses said Wednesday.

Uprooted trees, fallen electric posts, debris can be seen in the streets of Metro Manila.

The official civil defense office said 19 fishermen from the eastern island of Catanduanes had failed to return home and were missing at sea after the typhoon hit the area late Tuesday.

There were no immediate reports of fatalities but communication systems were down amid the chaos of the typhoon's aftermath, and disaster relief officials were still trying to determine the extent of the damage.

Manila's overhead railway system was also shut down due to the power outage. Knee-high floods and fallen trees were still blocking some roads in and around the capital, obstructing traffic.

Shanty towns erected by squatters on the coastal areas near Manila were swept away, leaving the shocked, drenched residents to scavenge scrap wood to build makeshift shelters, according to an AFP reporter there.

Several flights in and out of Manila were cancelled as the typhoon was passing but airport officials said their operations had returned to normal after the storm passed.

Typhoon Basyang (Conson), packing maximum gusts of 120 kilometres (74 miles) an hour, hit the eastern side of Luzon late Tuesday and crossed the island before exiting before dawn Wednesday, heading west into the South China Sea at 22 kilometres an hour.

Frozen rain droplets can form in thunderstorms when raindrops get carried into colder upper atmosphere regions where they freeze. These frozen droplets, called hail, can grow larger as they are carried by updrafts within the storm, eventually falling to the ground when they become too heavy to be supported by the updraft.

Yes! Since many temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are located on high ground and have a giant metal statue on the top, they are quite often struck by lightning. Usually the lightning strikes do little or no damage, but occassionally damage the Angel Moroni statue on top. The church has had to replace at least 3 statues due to lightning damage.

To stay safe during a monsoon, stay indoors during heavy rainfall to avoid flooding, strong winds, and lightning. Secure loose outdoor objects and avoid walking or driving through flooded areas. Have emergency supplies like food, water, and a first aid kit on hand in case of power outages or other emergencies.

The hailstones struck the roof loudly during the storm.

If the lightning bolt is not returned on the summer solstice, it could result in an imbalance of energy in the natural world. This imbalance may cause disruptions in weather patterns, environmental conditions, and potentially other unforeseen consequences. It is important to follow the necessary steps to restore the balance to prevent any negative impacts.

Hail can cause injury to people when it is large or falling at high speeds. It can damage property, such as cars and buildings, leading to financial losses for individuals. Hail storms may also disrupt transportation and outdoor activities, impacting people's daily routines.
