- | You are part of a secret organization that sends task forces to investigate strange phenomenon. The name of your particular task force is S.P.A.R.T.A.N | + | |
+ | ====Kick Off Questions ==== | ||
+ | - What is the difference between electric force, electric field, electric potential, and electric potential energy? | ||
+ | - How would you find the electric potential or electric field if 2 (or more) charges | ||
+ | - If an object has no net force, does that mean the object | ||
+ | - What do you remember from Physics 1 (or previous science courses) about energy conservation? | ||

+ | ==== Main Problem ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | As you return from your meeting with Mayor Rachel, you receive a call from your support team working at Stormchaser HQ. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As much as they would love to collect data on this storm, if the electric potential changes by more 20 MV due to the additional clouds, the equipment will be damaged. They have received reports that an incoming cloud with a mass around $m=3*10^5$ kg and a charge between $-50$ C and $-60$ C is heading toward FTOE from the eastern plains | ||
+ | |||
+ | Your team knows that you need immediate data on the storm to understand what's going on, but the equipment can't be replaced with all of the lightning strikes. | ||
