Answer: the eastward movement of winds and currents in the pacific.

El Nino is an abnormal weather condition which occurs due to the warming of the Pacific ocean near the equator. This occurs due to the fact that the sun warms the water near the equator, this results in formation of massive amount of clouds and rain. The westward- blowing trade winds moves towards the equator. This results in change in the air pressure and wind speed causing warm surface water to move eastwards along the Equator and the currents in the Pacific moves towards the coast of northern South America.

Why are atoms of lithium, sodium, and potassium almost never found alone together in nature?

nikdorinn [45]

atoms of lithium, sodium, and potassium almost never found alone in nature because they have only one electron in their outer most shell which makes them very reactive and they react with other atoms thats why. I hope this can help you

In a fast-pitch softball game the pitcher is impressive to watch, as she delivers a pitch by rapidly whirling her arm around so

svetlana [45]

Answer:

(a). The magnitude of the total acceleration of the ball is 239.97 m/s².

(b). The angle of the total acceleration relative to the radial direction is 11.0°

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the circle = 0.681 m

Angular acceleration = 67.7 rad/s²

Angular speed =18.6 rad/s

We need to calculate the centripetal acceleration of the ball

Using formula of centripetal acceleration

$a_{c}=\omega^2\times r$

Put the value into the formula

$a_{c}=(18.6)^2\times0.681$

$a_{c}=235.5\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the tangential acceleration of the ball

Using formula of tangential acceleration

$a_{t}=r\alpha$

Put the value into the formula

$a_{t}=0.681\times67.7$

$a_{t}=46.104\ m/s^2$

(a). We need to calculate the magnitude of the total acceleration of the ball

Using formula of total acceleration

$a=\sqrt{a_{c}^2+a_{t}^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$a=\sqrt{(235.5)^2+(46.104)^2}$

$a=239.97\ m/s^2$

(b). We need to calculate the angle of the total acceleration relative to the radial direction

Using formula of the direction

$\theat=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{a_{t}}{a_{c}})$

Put the value into the formula

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{46.104}{235.5})$

$\theta=11.0^{\circ}$

Hence, (a). The magnitude of the total acceleration of the ball is 239.97 m/s².

(b). The angle of the total acceleration relative to the radial direction is 11.0°

In a pool game, the cue ball, which has an initial speed of 3.0 m/s, make an elastic collision with the eight ball, which is ini

zhenek [66]

Explanation:

Given

initial speed(u)=3 m/s

mass of each ball is m

Let the cue ball is moving in x direction initially

In elastic collision Energy and momentum is conserved

Let u be the initial velocity and $v_1 , v_2$ be the final velocity of 8 ball and cue ball respectively

$\frac{mu^2}{2}+0=\frac{mv^2_1}{2}+\frac{mv^2_2}{2}$

The angle after which cue ball is deflected is given by

$\theta _1=90-40=50^{\circ}$

Conserving momentum in x direction

$mu=mv_1cos40+mv_2cos50$

$3=v_1cos40+v_2cos50$

Along Y axis

$0+0=v_1sin40-v_2sin50$

$v_1sin40=v_2sin50$

substitute the value of $v_1$

we get $v_2=1.912 m/s$

$v_1=2.27 m/s$
