Why is tornadoes hitting the east coast of the USA?

OLga [1]

Answer:

The outbreak of tornadoes that tore across the Gulf and the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday was unusual for two reasons. For one thing, the severe weather encompassed a significant swath of the country. For another, winter is the least likely time for tornadic thunderstorms.

Explanation:

The outbreak of tornadoes that tore across the Gulf and the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday was unusual for two reasons. For one thing, the severe weather encompassed a significant swath of the country. For another, winter is the least likely time for tornadic thunderstorms.

And yet tornadoes are an expected part of life in the United States—especially in the multi-state area known as Tornado Alley. (Florida, too, sees a disproportionately high number of tornadoes, because of its frequent thunderstorms.) The United States gets more tornadoes, by far, than any other place on the planet. It averages about 1,250 twisters a year. Canada, which sees about 100 tornadoes per year, is a “distant second,” according to the National Centers for Environmental Information.

In a Young's double-slit experiment, 610-nm-wavelength light is sent through the slits. The intensity at an angle of 2.95° from

Sliva [168]

Answer:

spacing between the slits is 405.32043 × $10^{-9}$ m

Explanation:

Given data

wavelength = 610 nm

angle = 2.95°

central bright fringe = 85%

to find out

spacing between the slits

solution

we know that spacing between slit is

I = 4 $I_{0}$ × cos²∅/2

so

I/4 $I_{0}$ = cos²∅/2

here I/4 $I_{0}$ is 85 % = 0.85

so

0.85 = cos²∅/2

cos∅/2 = √0.85

∅ = 2 × $cos^{-1}$ 0.921954

∅ = 45.56°

∅ = 45.56° ×π/180 = 0.7949 rad

and we know that here

∅ = 2π d sinθ / wavelength

so

d = ∅× wavelength / ( 2π sinθ )

put all value

d = 0.795 × 610× $10^{-9}$ / ( 2π sin2.95 )

d = 405.32043 × $10^{-9}$ m

spacing between the slits is 405.32043 × $10^{-9}$ m

A freight car with a mass of 10 metric tons is rolling at 108 km/h along a level track when it collides with another freight car

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

20 metric tons

Explanation:

Using the Principle of Conservation of Linear Momentum which states that the total momentum of a system is constant in any direction in which no external force acts.

momentum before collision= momentum after collision

mathematically expressed as

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1+m2v2 =0

where:

m1= mass of rolling freight car = 10 metric tons = 10Mg

1 ton = 1000kg= 1Mg

u1 =initial velocity of freight car = 108km/h,

m2 = mass of stationary freight car = ?, this the unknown we are finding

u2 = initial velocity of

m2 = 0, because it is at rest,

v1= final velocity of m1,

v2= final velocity of m2

since they move together in the same direction they share a common final velocity as such

v1=v2= 36km/h

substituting valves in expression give

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2= 0

10Mgx 108km/hr + m2 x 0 = 10Mg x 36km/h + m2x36km/h

1080( Mg x km/hr) + 0 = 360 (Mg x Km/h) + 36m2 (km/h)

1080 (Mgx km/hr) - 360(Mg x km/h) = 36m2 (km/h)

720(Mg x km/h) = 36m2 (km/h)

divide both side by 36 (km/h) gives

m2 = 20Mg =20 metric tons

Can all rocks be weathered and eroded?how do you know?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:yes

Explanation: Rock can be weathered by ice, acids, animals, temp and etc because the breaking down or dissolving of rock and minerals on the earths surface.

rocks can be eroded by wind, water, ice and, gravity be cause of an action, and friction.

(I think going off of what i learned.)

Which statement BEST describes acceleration?

Mashutka [201]

C) Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object so acceleration is used to describe the rate of change. I hope this helps!!
