Answer:

Mesothermal regions have moderate climates. They are not cold enough to sustain a layer of winter snow but are also not remain warm enough to support flowering plants (and, thus, evapotranspiration) all year.

Explanation:

Please give the brainliest.

A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west

Minchanka [31]

The ducks' flight path as observed by someone standing on the ground is the sum of the wind velocity and the ducks' velocity relative to the wind:

ducks (relative to wind) + wind (relative to Earth) = ducks (relative to Earth)

or equivalently,

$\vec v_{D/W}+\vec v_{W/E}=\vec v_{D/E}$

(see the attached graphic)

We have

ducks (relative to wind) = 7.0 m/s in some direction θ relative to the positive horizontal direction, or

$\vec v_{D/W}=\left(7.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(\cos\theta\,\vec\imath+\sin\theta\,\vec\jmath)$

wind (relative to Earth) = 5.0 m/s due East, or

$\vec v_{W/E}=\left(5.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(\cos0^\circ\,\vec\imath+\sin0^\circ\,\vec\jmath)$

ducks (relative to earth) = some speed v due South, or

$\vec v_{D/E}=v(\cos270^\circ\,\vec\imath+\sin270^\circ\,\vec\jmath)$

Then by setting components equal, we have

$\left(7.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos\theta+5.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=0$

$\left(7.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin\theta=-v$

We only care about the direction for this question, which we get from the first equation:

$\left(7.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos\theta=-5.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$\cos\theta=-\dfrac57$

$\theta=\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac57\right)\text{ OR }\theta=360^\circ-\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac57\right)$

or approximately 136º or 224º.

Only one of these directions must be correct. Choosing between them is a matter of picking the one that satisfies both equations. We want

$\left(7.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin\theta=-v$

which means θ must be between 180º and 360º (since angles in this range have negative sine).

So the ducks must fly (relative to the air) in a direction 224º relative to the positive horizontal direction, or about 44º South of West.

What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are categorized according to their frequency f or, equivalently, according to their wavelength λ = c/f. Visible light has a wavelength range from ~400 nm to ~700 nm.

The electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) is the general name given to the known range of electromagnetic radiation. Wavelengths increase from approximately 10-18 m to 100 km, and this corresponds to frequencies decreasing from 3 × 1026 Hz to 3 ×103 Hz.

A ball is dropped from the top of a building.After 2 seconds, it’s velocity is measured to be 19.6 m/s. Calculate the accelerati

zlopas [31]

Answer:

acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

'A ball is dropped from the top of a building' indicates that the initial velocity of the ball is zero.

u = 0 m/s

After 2 seconds, velocity of the ball is 19.6 m/s.

t = 2s, v = 19.6 m/s

Using

v = u + at

19.6 = 0 + 2a

a = 9.8 m/s²

When a marble rolls down a slope which forces acts on it

Tema [17]

Answer:

What forces act on a marble rolling down a ramp?

Answer: Gravity acts vertically downward. A normal force acts from the ruler toward the marble/ball in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the ruler. Friction acts in the direction opposite to which the marble/ball is moving. ... Friction slows down the marble/ball.
