    Which one is correct statement regarding lightning?

    For this case, is this also called induction?

    Which one is correct statement regarding lightning?

    If that is the case, there is discharging between the clouds so can I say there is induction between clouds? Thanks

    Which one is correct statement regarding lightning?

    My answer is (B) but the correct answer is (D). I don't understand why there is induction between clouds and ground. I thought there will only be separation of charges in ground (polarization) due to large negative charges in the clouds causing the ground below the clouds will be positively...

    Is this biased or unbiased Method of Moments Estimator?

    (i) $$E(X)=\bar X$$ $$(-1)\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)+(1)\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)=\bar X$$ $$\bar X=0$$ Then: $$\text{Var} (X)=\bar {X^2}-(\bar X)^2$$ $$(1)\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)+(1)\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)=\bar {X^2} - 0$$ $$\theta = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} X_{i}^{2}$$...

    Speed of moth related to Doppler Effect

    You mean both bat and moth will detect frequency of 230.3 kHz?

    Speed of moth related to Doppler Effect

    I treat this question as two cases of Doppler effect. (1) When the sound wave travels from bat to moth Speed of sound = 222 x 1.5 = 333 m/s Frequency received by moth: $$f_1=\frac{333+v}{333}\times 222$$ (2) When the sound wave is reflected from moth back to bat Frequency received by bat...

    Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe

    When te straw is lifted, water level inside the straw will decrease causing the volume occupied by the air increases ans reducing the gas pressure. Is that correct? Thanks

    Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe

    I am not sure what you mean by "each side of the tap" but I will take position 1 to be at the 12 m above the tap and position 2 to be at the tap. Set: ##v_1=0## and ##h_2=0## $$P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{1}^{2}+\rho g h_1=P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{2}^{2}+\rho g h_2$$ $$P_1+\rho g...

    Correct statement about siphon used to empty water tank

    In the first link there are several formulas for the pressure but I don't think using any of those formulas can result in P to be zero so can you elaborate more why the statement (i) is approximately correct? When deriving the equation, the pressure at max height is taken to be zero. But...
