How does the sun cause wind?

1 answer:

6 0

Wind is caused by a difference in pressure from one area to another area on the surface of the earth. Air naturally moves from high to low pressure, and when it does, it is called wind. Generally, we can say that the cause of wind is the uneven heating of the earth's surface by the sun.

1. A 2.5 kg led projector is launched as a projectile off a tall building. At one point, as it

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

I got everything but i. Don't know why but it's eluding me. So let's do everything but that.

a. PE = mgh so

PE = (2.5)(98)(14) and

PE = 340 J

b. $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ so

$KE=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)(14)^2$ and

KE = 250 J

c. TE = KE + PE so

TE = 340 + 250 and

TE = 590 J

d. PE at 8.7 m:

PE = (2.5)(9.8)(8.7) and

PE = 210 J

e. The KE at the same height:

TE = KE + PE and

590 = KE + 210 so

KE = 380 J

f. The velocity at that height:

$380=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)v^2$ and

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(380)}{2.5} }$ so

v = 17 m/s

g. The velocity at a height of 11.6 m (these get a bit more involed as we move forward!). First we need to find the PE at that height and then use it in the TE equation to solve for KE, then use the value for KE in the KE equation to solve for velocity:

590 = KE + PE and

PE = (2.5)(9.8)(11.6) so

PE = 280 then

590 = KE + 280 so

KE = 310 then

$310=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)v^2$ and

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(310)}{2.5} }$ so

v = 16 m/s

h. This one is a one-dimensional problem not using the TE. This one uses parabolic motion equations. We know that the initial velocity of this object was 0 since it started from the launcher. That allows us to find the time at which the object was at a velocity of 26 m/s. Let's do that first:

$v=v_0+at$ and

26 = 0 + 9.8t and

26 = 9.8t so the time at 26 m/s is

t = 2.7 seconds. Now we use that in the equation for displacement:

Δx = $v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ and filling in the time the object was at 26 m/s:

Δx = 0t + $\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)2.7)^2$ so

Δx = 36 m

i. ??? In order to find the velocity at which the object hits the ground we would need to know the initial height so we could find the time it takes to hit the ground, and then from there, sub all that in to find final velocity. In my estimations, we have 2 unknowns and I can't seem to see my way around that connundrum.

7. How long does it take a ball rolling down a hill to change its speed from 3 m/sec to 34.5 m/sec

lys-0071 [83]

The time elapsed is 9 seconds

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is a uniformly accelerated motion (a motion with constant acceleration), so we can use the following suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where :

v is the final velocity of the ball

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time elapsed

For the ball in this problem, we have:

u = 3 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 34.5 m/s is the final velocity

$a=3.5m/s^2$ is the acceleration

Solving for t, we find the time taken for this change in velocity:

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{34.5-3}{3.5}=9 s$

Which of the following is correct for speed?

Olin [163]

Answer:

Speed is a "scalar" quantity

(C) is the correct answer

An object could travel at 10 m/s to some point and then return to the origin at 10 m/s for an average speed of 10 m/s, however it's displacement over that time would be zero for a net velocity of zero.
