A cloud has a potential difference relative to a car of 7.66 x 108 volts. During a lightning storm, a charge of 19.3 coulombs travels through this potential difference. If the energy released could somehow be harnessed and converted into kinetic energy, how fast could Mr. Baud's 2020 Kia Sorento move? His car has a mass of 1850 kilograms and starts from rest. Include units in your answer.
A 12.0-V battery-operated bottle warmer heats 50.0 g of glass, 2.50 × 102 g of baby formula, and 2.00 × 102 g of aluminum from 20.0 °C to 90.0 °C . (a)How much charge is moved by the battery? (b) How many electrons per second flow if it takes 5.00 min to warm the formula? (Hint: Assume that the specific heat of baby formula is about the same as the specific heat of water.)
During a lightning flash, -6 C of charge is transferred across a potential difference of about10^7 V. The flash lasts approximately 1 ms. Calculate the average power during the flash –that is, the average rate of electrical energy decrease.
