<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Unstable environment

Thunderstorms form when warm humid air rises in an <u>unstable environment</u>.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

<em><u>Thunderstorm refers to a storm that generates lightning and thunder and usually gusty winds, rain and/or hail. It forms when warm, humid air rises rapidly within a cumulonimbus cloud.</u></em>
Thunderstorm occurs in presence of unstable air, moisture, and lift. Moisture facilitates the formation of clouds and rain. Unstable air which is relatively warm and rises rapidly. Then a lift from fronts, sea breezes and mountains. With these factors then a thunderstorm will occur.
Thunderstorms are dangerous since they produce lightening that kills more people each year as compared to tornadoes.

We say that visible light has wavelength from 400nm to roughly 800nm. What is the biggest "energy-jump" (excited) for an atom if

icang [17]

Answer:

$4.98\cdot 10^{-19} J$

Explanation:

The energy of the emitted photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength, according to the equation:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

$h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js$ is the Planck's constant

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

This means that the biggest energy is released when the wavelength is the shortest. For a photon of visible light, the shortest wavelength is

$\lambda=400 nm = 400\cdot 10^{-9} m$

So, substituting into the equation, we find the corresponding energy:

$E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34})(3\cdot 10^8)}{400\cdot 10^{-9}}=4.98\cdot 10^{-19} J$

A lacrosse ball leaves the sick horizontally at 12.0m/s. the catcher is 14.0 away. How much does the ball fall vertically travel

boyakko [2]

Answer:

1.65 m

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is a projectile motion, so it is a parabolic motion with two independent motions:

- on the x-axis, a uniform motion with constant speed $v_x=12.0 m/s$

- on the y-axis, a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration $a=9.8 m/s^2$ downward.

First of all, we need to find the time t at which the ball has travelled halfway to the chatcher, i.e. at a distance of $x=14.0/2=7.0 m$ . This can be found by using the relationship between distance, time and velocity along the horizontal direction:

$t=\frac{x}{v_x}=\frac{7.0 m}{12.0 m/s}=0.58 s$

So now we can move to the vertical motion, and we can calculate the distance covered vertically by the ball while falling for t=0.58 s, by using:

$S=\frac{1}{2}at^2=\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2)(0.58 s)^2=1.65 m$
