<span>Maritime tropical air masses develop over warm waters present in the tropics and Gulf of Mexico, where heat and moisture are carried to to the overlying air from the water below.

</span><span> Tropical air masses having northward movement carry warm moist air into the United States, thus increasing the potential for condensation. Generally the southern states experience tropical air masses. But, in winter season, southerly winds ahead of migrating cyclones <span>sometimes transport tropical air mass towards north.

At what altitude above the earth's surface would the acceleration due to gravity be 4.9 m/s^2? Assume the mean radius of the ear
Mandarinka [93]
We apply the gravity calculation expressed in the formula: g=GM/r2 
where G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass and r is the radius
r=√GM/g
(1)       Radius = √6.674e-11*5.972e24/8             = 7058 kms    Earth radius or surface of earth from center of earth= 6400 kmsSo r= 658 kms from surface of earth.
Gravity 8m/s2 will be at 658 kms from surface of earth.
(2) half gravity= 9.8/2= 4.9 m/s2     Radius=√6.674e-11*5.972e24/4.9                 = 9019 kms        Half Gravity will exist at 9019-6400= 2619 kms from surface of earth.

The diameter of Earth (to two significant figures) is 7900 miles. Calculate its circumference.
Bess [88]

Answer:

The circumference of the Earth is 24818.58 miles

Explanation:

Analysis conceptual : The formula of the circumference is the following:

L= π*D Formula (1)

Where:

L : is the length of the circumference in miles (mi)

π : is the constant

D : is the diameter of the circumference in miles (mi)

Known data

π = 3.1416

D= 7900 miles:  Diameter of the Earth

Problem development

We apply the formula 1 to calculate the circumference of the Earth  (L):

L= π*7900 miles

L= 24818.58 miles

Why do atoms like carbon and nitrogen not like to make ions, while sodium and chlorine do?
krok68 [10]
Atoms like carbon and nitrogen do not form ions because the electronegativity of these atoms are not that high nor very low which means electrons are fairly stable in the atom. While chlorine has very high electronegativity and for sodium very low, atoms tend to receive or release electrons.

Automobiles must be able to sustain a frontal impacl The automobile design must allow low speed impacts with little sustained da
valentinak56 [21]

Answer: the effective design stiffness required to limit the bumper maximum deflection during impact to 4 cm is 3906250 N/m

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of vehicle m = 1000 kg

for a low speed test; V = 2.5 m/s

bumper maximum deflection = 4 cm = 0.04 m

First we determine the energy of the vehicle just prior to impact;

W_v = 1/2mv²

we substitute

W_v = 1/2 × 1000 × (2.5)²

W_v = 3125 J

now, the the effective design stiffness k will be:

at the impact point, energy of the vehicle converts to elastic potential energy of the bumper;

hence;

W_v = 1/2kx²

we substitute

3125 = 1/2 × k (0.04)²

3125 = 0.0008k

k = 3125 / 0.0008

k = 3906250 N/m

Therefore, the effective design stiffness required to limit the bumper maximum deflection during impact to 4 cm is 3906250 N/m
