Two questions: First off, I have a leather belt that has two pieces of leather glued together. Now it's coming apart. What kind of glue should I use? Would Krazy Glue work? Also, what are some general rules for caring for leather shoes?
My word people, keep a simple question simple or they will be asking questions on explaining your answers. Lightning is STATIC discharge.Lightning is the static discharge of electricity that builds up between the clouds and earth. The charge actually goes up from the ground to the clouds, even though the lightning appears to travel from the clouds down. (there is a complicated reason). This is why your skin will tingle and your hair will stand just before lightning strikes you. During a good rain storm, the rain drops will carry the static charge to the ground and no lightning will take place. There are occasions when the charge is excessive even with rain and lightning strikes. From flash to bang, count the number of seconds and divide by 5. So if 5 seconds go by between lightning and thunder, it is one mile away. Lightning rods work in the way that they continuously allow the static to trickle to ground and no charge builds up.
Kinetic energy is motion––of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules, substances, and objects. Electrical Energy is a form of Kinetic energy. Electrical Energy is the movement of electrical charges. Everything is made of tiny particles called atoms. Atoms are made of even smaller particles called electrons, protons, and neutrons. Applying a force can make some of the electrons move. Electrical charges moving through a wire is called electricity. Lightning is another example of electrical energy.
I haven't heard of renting, but many tack shops have a consignment section where you can buy used clothes/boots for WAY less than new. That's where I buy all my 7 year old's boots and pants since he'll outgrow them quickly (just like the previous owner, so they're still in great shape). You should probably get a new helmet, though, since you'll never know if it's safety has been compromised with a fall before. You can get a Troxel Sport for $25 or less.
It is a release of potental electrical charge, built up from friction in the atmoshere.
