"prevailing winds blow from west to east across most of north america. winds that blow onshore from the pacific ocean are forced

up the windward slopes of the cascade mountain range in the pacific northwest. hence, the heaviest precipitation falls on the ________ slopes of the cascades."

<span>The heaviest precipitation falls on the western slopes of the cascades.

Explanation: the wind blowing from Pacific ocean contains a lot of moisture. While it raises  it cools down and condenses forming rain. This happens on the side of cascades at which air rises. In this case it is western slope of the cascade which is closer to Pacific ocean.</span>

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer: 7.78m/s

Explanation: As the the skier slide down the height, we assume the motion of a body, slidind down an incline plane.

Force down the plane= [email protected]

Frictional force= umg

u= coefficient of friction

Net force on skier = [email protected] umg

ma = [email protected]

a = g([email protected] - u) = 9.8 (sin 25- 0.2)

a = 9.8 × (0.4226-0.2) = 9.8 × 0.2226

a = 2.18m/s²

Using the formula V² = U² + 2aH

Where H = (10.4+ 3.5)=total height of descent before landing, U= 0.

V = √ 2 × 2.18× 13.9 = √60.604

V = 7.78m/s

A 10 kg box hangs from a rope. What is the tension in the rope (in Newtons) if the box is stationary
Archy [21]

Answer:

T = 98 N

Explanation:

The gravity of the earth is known to be 9.8 m/s²

Data:

  • m = 10 kg
  • g = 9.8 m/s²
  • T = ?

Use formula:

  • \boxed{\bold{T=m*g}}

Replace and solve:

  • \boxed{\bold{T=10\ kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}
  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{T=98\ N}}}

The tension in the rope is <u>98 Newtons.</u>

Greetings.

The energy an object possesses due to its form and position is know as
zvonat [6]
I believe the energy being described is the potential energy. Potential energy is the stored energy, it is the energy an object has because of its position or shape. It is also the energy possessed by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors. The major types of energy include the gravitational energy of an object that depends on its mass and its distance from the center of mass.

Which energy resources are found above the Earth's surface​
never [62]

Answer: the sun

Explanation:

The sun's radiant energy reaches the earth's surface either directly through radiation, indirectly through convection, or it can move "across" or "through" objects or materials on the surface via conduction. Let's look more closely at each case. We've probably experienced the feeling of "warmth" of the sun on our skin on a sunny day. Light energy from the sun is reaching us across space and down through the atmosphere through radiation. A dark colored vehicle in the sun quickly becomes warm (or hot!) to the touch because of radiation. The light energy from the sun heats the air in the earth's atmosphere, and this drives convection and transfers thermal energy around. It is possible that we've felt a "hot breeze" on our skin on sunny days. The thermal energy in the air will be carried to objects in its path, and it will warm them.

An airplane dropped a flare from a height of 2860 feet above a lake. How many seconds did it take for the flare to reach the wat
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: 13.2 seconds.

Explanation: using equation of motion; S= ut +1/2at² where u = initial velocity=0

S= distance travelled

a = acceleration due gravity

t= time.

1 foot = 0.305m so,

S= 2860 feet =872.3m

S= ut+1/2 at²

872.3 = 0×t + 1/2×10 × t²

872.3 =0 + 5t²

T²= 872.3/5

T²= 174.46

Take the square root of T we then have;

t = 13.2 seconds to one decimal place.
