Answer:

Inclined Plane

Explanation:

An inclined plane, also known as a ramp, is a flat supporting surface tilted at an angle, with one end higher than the other, used as an aid for raising or lowering a load. The inclined plane is one of the six classical simple machines.

The basic principle of Inclined pane is as follows

W = F x D ( Force times Distance)

where W shows the word done.

A mature thunderstorm will contain both updrafts and downdrafts. True or False

jasenka [17]

A mature thunderstorm will contain both updraft and downdrafts. The given statement is true.

When the cumulus cloud becomes very large, the water in it becomes large and heavy. Raindrops start to fall through the cloud when the rising air can no longer hold them up. Meanwhile, cool dry air starts to enter the cloud. Because cool air is heavier than warm air, it starts to descend in the cloud (known as a downdraft). The downdraft pulls the heavy water downward, making rain.

This cloud has become a cumulonimbus cloud because it has an updraft, a downdraft, and rain. Thunder and lightning start to occur, as well as heavy rain. The cumulonimbus is now a thunderstorm cell.

ycow [4]

Answer:

$\frac{0.065}{r}$

Explanation:

The maximum velocity of an object moving in a curve beyond which it will slide off the curve is given by the relationship in equation (1);

$v=\sqrt{\mu gr}....................(1)$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction between the object and the surface of the curve, g is acceleration due to gravity and r is the radius of the curve.
