<span>The correct answer is A: True. Although the ability to forecast weather has increased over the years, the ability to predict when and how much wind will occur at any given time and place is difficult. Weather conditions are subject to constant change and while some areas are known to have more wind than others, there is no guarantee about how much wind there will be as weather patterns vary in consistency.</span>

A flow is isentropically expanded to supersonic speeds in a convergent-divergent nozzle. The reservoir and exit pressures are 1.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Ae/A* = 1.115

Explanation:

Let the reservoir pressure be $p_0$

Let the exit pressure be $p_e$

Ratio of reservoir pressure and exit pressure

$\frac{p_o}{p_e} = \frac{1}{0.3143}$

= 3.182

For the above value of pressure ratio

Obtain the area ratio from the isentropic flow table

Ae/A* = 1.115

The value of pressure ratio is Ae/A* = 1.115

Bus starts from rest if the acceleration of the bus is 0.5 MS squared what will be the velocity at the end of two minutes and wh

Nutka1998 [239]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the bus, u = 0

Acceleration of the bus, a = 0.5 m/s²

Let v is the velocity at the end of 2 minutes. The change in velocity divided by time equals acceleration.

So,

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\v=u+at\\\\v=0+0.5\times 120\\\\v=60\ m/s$

Let d is the distance cover during that time. So,

$v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{(60)^2}{2\times 0.5}\\\\d=3600\ m$

So, the final speed is 60 m/s and the distance covered during that time is 3600 m.

An aircraft flies at sea level at a speed of 220 m/s. What is the highest pressure that can be acting on the surface of the airc

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

An aircraft flying at sea level with a speed of 220 m/s, has a highest pressure of 29136.8 N/m²

Explanation:

Applying Bernoulli's equation, we determine the highest pressure on the aircraft.

$P = \frac{1}{2} \rho V^2$

where;

P is the highest pressure on the aircraft

$\rho$ is the density of air = 1.204 kg/m³ at sea level temperature.

V is the velocity of the aircraft = 220 m/s

P = 0.5*1.204*(220)² = 29136.8 N/m²

Therefore, an aircraft flying at sea level with a speed of 220 m/s, has a highest pressure of 29136.8 N/m²

What is one characteristic of the convection inside the sun?

andrew11 [14]

Answer: 3- Large cells of rising and sinking gasses

Explanation: Hotter gas coming from the radiative zone expands and rises through the convective zone. It can do this because the convective zone is cooler than the radiative zone and therefore less dense. As the gas rises, it cools and begins to sink again. As it falls down to the top of the radiative zone, it heats up and starts to rise. This process repeats, creating convection currents and the visual effect of boiling on the Sun's surface.
