What happens when a colder drier air mass pushes against a warmer moister air mass

1 answer:

6 0

A cold front occurs when a cold air mass advances into a region occupied by a warm air mass. If the boundary between the cold and warm air masses doesn't move, it is called a stationary front. This is due to the (usually) higher humidity in the air of warm fronts compared to that of cold fronts.

Hope this helps

the 200 g baseball has a horizontal velocity of 30 m/s when it is struck by the bat, B, weighing 900 g, moving at 47 m/s. during

Ivanshal [37]

Solution :

Given :

Mass of the baseball, m = 200 g

Velocity of the baseball, u = -30 m/s

Mass of the baseball after struck by the bat, M = 900 g

Velocity of the baseball after struck by the bat, v = 47 m/s

According to the conservation of momentum,

$Mv+mu=Mv_1+mv_2$

(900 x 47) + (200 x -30) = (900 x $v_1$ ) + (200 x $v_2$ )

36300 = (900 x $v_1$ ) + (200 x $v_2$ )

$9v_1 + 2v_2 = 363$ ..............(i)

$9v_1 = 363 - 2v_2$

$v_1=\frac{363 - 2v_2}{9}$

The mathematical expression for the conservation of kinetic energy is

$\frac{1}{2}Mv^2+\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}Mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2$

$\frac{1}{2}(900)(47)^2+\frac{1}{2}(200)(-30)^2 = \frac{1}{2}(900)v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}(200)v_2^2$ ................(ii)

$(9)(14)^2+(2)(-30)^2 = (9)v_1^2+2v_2^2$

$21681 = 9v_1^2+2v_2^2$

Substituting (i) in (ii)

$21681= 9\left( \frac{363-2v_2}{9}\right)^2+2v_2^2$

$(363-2v_2)^2+18v_2^2=195129$

$(363)^2+18v_2^2-2(363)(2v_2)+(363)^2-195129=0$

$22v_2^2-145v_2-63360=0$

Solving the equation, we get

$v_2=96 \ m/s, -30 \ m/s$

The negative velocity is neglected.

Therefore, substituting 96 m/s for $v_2$ in (i), we get

$v_1=\frac{363-(2 \times 96)}{9}$

= 19

Thus, only impulse of importance is used to find final velocity.

Qual a capacidade térmica de um objeto que, ao receber 10000 cal de energia, tem sua temperatura elevada de 25°C para 75°C?

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

$200 cal/^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

When heat energy is supplied to an object, the temperature of the object increases according to the equation:

$Q=C\Delta T$

where

Q is the heat supplied

C is the heat capacity of the object

$\Delta T$ is the change in temperature

In this problem we have:

$Q=10,000 cal$ is the energy supplied

$\Delta T=75C-25C=50C$ is the change in temperature of the object

Therefore, the heat capacity of the object is:

$C=\frac{Q}{\Delta T}=\frac{10,000}{50}=200 cal/^{\circ}C$

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Very sorry if this is late

Explanation:

Currently, in Olympia, Washington, it is raining because a cold front with high pressure has met an area with low pressure. This occurs due to the fact that storms are caused by sudden differences in air pressure.

If a short-wave radio station broadcasts on a frequency of 9.065 megahertz (MHz), what is the wavelength of

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one ... Typical radio wave frequencies are about 88~108 MHz .

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of a radio wave, you will be using the equation: Speed of a wave = wavelength X frequency.

Since radio waves are electromagnetic waves and travel at 2.997 X

meters/second, then you will need to know the frequency of the radio wave.

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one million hertz. If the radio wave is from an AM radio station, these are in kilohertz (there are one thousand hertz in a kilohertz). Hertz are waves/second. Hertz is usually the label for the frequency of electromagnetic waves.

To conclude, to determine the wavelength of a radio wave, you take the speed and divide it by the frequency.

Typical radio wave frequencies are about

108

MHz

. The wavelength is thus typically about
