Physics Questions

The first indicator of an approaching thunderstorm is a buildup of dark clouds.

A thunderstorm is a storm with lightning and thunder; it is usually produced by heavy rain, gusty wind, and the cumulonimbus cloud. The thunderstorm is made up of moisture, unstable air and lift.

Rolling friction or rolling drag is the force resisting the motion when a body rolls on a surface. It is mainly caused by non-elastic effects, that is, not all the energy needed for deformation of the wheel, roadbed, etc... is recovered when the pressure is removed.

Another cause of rolling resistance lies in the slippage between the wheel and the surface, which dissipates energy.

Energy can be either a potential energy or a kinetic energy.

The energy associated with motion is called Kinetic energy and it can be stored. And the energy associated with position is called Potential energyand it cannot be stored.

Yes, the ability to do work is called Energy is True.

The water rise in a capillary tube dipped in water is such that the weight of water in the tube above the surface of water in the vessel is equal to (balances) the upward force due to surface tension. So it is clear that if the the bore (radius) to the tube is decreased, the height of the water column in it must be greater.  So, (a) is correct.

Q = mc∆T refers to Specific Heat formula.

When heat energy is added to a substance, the temperature will change by a certain amount.

The relationship between heat energy and temperature is different for every material, and the specific heat is a value that describes how they relate.

Q = mc∆T

Q = heat energy (Joules, J)

m = mass of a substance (kg)

c = specific heat (units J/kg∙K)

∆T = change in temperature (Kelvins, K)

The carbon arc lamp was the first widely-used type of electric light and the first commercially successful form of electric lamp.

Here are the Carbon Arc Lamp Uses :

-Super bright light, capable of lighting a large length of street or a large factory interior.

-Was the ONLY electric light available to light large areas from 1800 - 1901.

-Was cheaper to light streets with the arc lamp than gas or oil lamps.
