Warm,tropical cumulus cloud more likely to produce precipitation because they have high liquid content, strong and consistent updraft, these clouds are very thick. Moreover, they have large range of cloud droplet sizes. Whereas, stratus cloud have somewhat opposite characteristics, hence tropical cumulus clouds produce more precipitate.

A ball rolls over the edge of a platform with only a horizontal velocity. The height of the platform is 1.60m and the horizontal

AysviL [449]

Answer:

v = 46.99 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the ball just before it touches the ground, is given by the following formula:

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}$ (1)

vx: horizontal component of the velocity

vy: vertical component of the velocity

The vertical component vy is calculated by using the following formula:

$v_y^2=v_{oy}^2+2gh$ (2)

vy: final velocity

voy: initial vertilal velocity = 0m/s (because it is a semi parabolic motion)

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

h: height = 1.60m

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

$v_y=2(9.8m/s^2)(1.60m)=31.36\frac{m}{s}$

vx is calculated by using the information about the horizontal range of the ball:

$R=v_o\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$ (3)

R: horizontal range of the ball = 20.0 m

You solve the previous equation for vo, the initial horizontal velocity:

$v_o=R\sqrt{\frac{g}{2h}}=(20.0m)\sqrt{\frac{9.8m/s^2}{2(1.60m)}}\\\\v_o=35\frac{m}{s}$

The horizontal component of the velocity is constant in the complete trajectory, hence, you have that

vx = vo = 35 m/s

Finally, you replace the values of vx and vy in the equation (1):

$v=\sqrt{(35m/s)^2+(31.36m/s)^2}=46.99\frac{m}{s}$

The velocity of the ball just before it touches the ground is 46.99 m/s

From the concepts you have learned in this module, how are you going to assess

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

Earth is properly designed to support life. This is seen in the favorable temperature that supports life, the water cycle that recycles water for plant and animal life, the atmosphere, energy, and nutrients.

1. Temperature: The temperature which is regulated by the different weather conditions such as the rains, snows, dry seasons all help to maintain a stable condition for life.

2. Water: The water cycle through processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, helps to ensure that there is never a lack of water in the earth. The numerous water bodies like the seas, oceans, rivers, lakes, also provide a habitat for some living things. Water makes up 70% of the earth.

3. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is a mixture of gases in the right proportions that are necessary for life. Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, etc are released and inhaled by man and other living things. They are also involved in so many biochemical reactions that help in metabolism and catabolism.

4. Energy: Energy generated from the sun and within the earth is stored in various forms and is always conserved. This energy is converted to different states such as the potential, chemical, kinetic, mechanical forms to get work done and to release heat.

5. Nutrients: Though cycles such as the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorous cycles, the earth maintains its stock of essential nutrients that help to sustain life.
