Write differences between tornado and typhoon

1 answer:

Gala2k [10]3 years ago

The difference lies in their size, wind velocity, rate of travel, and duration. A tornado reaches rotating speeds up to 300 miles per hour, travels between 25 and 40 miles per hour, and generally lasts for a few minutes (although it can exist for hours). A typhoon (the term used in the Pacific for a hurricane) has winds that vary from 75 to 200 miles per hour, moves between 10 and 20 miles per hour, has a diameter up to 600 miles, and exists from days up to a week. A tornado generally forms several thousand feet above Earth’s surface, usually during warm, humid weather. A typhoon breeds in low-altitude belts over the ocean, generally from 5 to 15 degrees latitude north or south.

How do you find the capacitance in this?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

parallel capacitances add directly

Series capacitances add by reciprocal of sum of reciprocals.

Ceq = [ C ] + [1 / (1/C + 1/C)] + [1 / (1/C + 1/C + 1/C)]

Ceq = [ C ] + [C / 2] + [C / 3]

Ceq = [ 6C/6 ] + [3C / 6] + [2C / 6]

Ceq = 11C/6

The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum. Find the refractive index of the medium.

grin007 [14]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The refractive index is 1.66

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum .

Refractive index of medium = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

So

RI = 1/0.6 = 5/3 or 1.66

An object travels with velocity v = 4.0 meters/second and it makes an angle of 60.0° with the positive direction of the y-axis.

zhenek [66]

Answer:

2 m/s and -2 m/s

Explanation:

The object travels with an angle of

60.0°

with the positive direction of the y-axis: this means that it lies either in the 1st quadrant (positive x) or in the 2nd quadrant (negative x).

If it lies in the 1st quadrant, the value of vx (component of v along x direction) is:

$v_x = v cos \theta = (4.0 m/s) cos 60.0^{\circ}=2 m/s$

If it lies in the 2nd quadrant, the value of vx (component of v along x direction) is:

$v_x = -v cos \theta = -(4.0 m/s) cos 60.0^{\circ}=-2 m/s$

Objects with masses of 135 kg and a 435 kg are separated by 0.500 m. Find the net gravitational force exerted by these objects o

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The net gravitational force on the mass is $1.27\times 10^{-5}$

Explanation:

We have by Newton's law of gravity the force of attraction between masses $m_{1},m_{2}$

$F_{att}=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}$

Applying vales we get

Force of attraction between 135 kg mass and 38 kg mass is

$F_{1}=6.67\times 10^{-11}\frac{135\times 38}{(0.25)^{2}}\\\\F_{1}=5.47\times 10^{-6}N$

Force of attraction between 435 kg mass and 38 kg mass is

$F_{2}=6.67\times 10^{-11}\frac{435\times 38}{(0.25)^{2}}\\\\F_{2}=1.76\times 10^{-5}N$

Thus the net force on mass 38.0 kg is $F_{2}-F_{1}=1.76\times 10^{-5}-5.47\times 10^{-6}\\\\F_{2}-F_{1}=1.27\times 10^{-5}$
