Why are hurricanes considered more damaging than tornadoes when tornadoes have stronger winds

Physics

-- A tornado follows a path that's a few miles wide, for a few hours.
   Then it's all over.

-- A hurricane follows a path that's several hundred miles wide,
   for a week or two, before it's over.
   Then comes the rain, continuing on the same path, for another week.

The particles ejected from the sun during a coronal mass ejection is called
ipn [44]

Answer:

Plasma

Explanation:

A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is an outburst of energy that occurs near the outer part of the sun's atmosphere which causes a production of plasma along with a magnetic field.

The outermost part of the sun's atmosphere is called the Solar Corona Although difficult to see, the corona can be seen during a total solar eclipse.

Plasma from CME are clouds of magnetized electrically charged particles which the solar wind causes to travel at a speed of 1.6 million km/hr.

On a horizontal frictionless surface a mass M is attached to two light elastic strings both having length l and both made of the
EastWind [94]

Answer:

ω = √(2T / (mL))

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the mass.  There are two tension forces, one pulling down and left, the other pulling down and right.

The x-components of the tension forces cancel each other out, so the net force is in the y direction:

∑F = -2T sin θ, where θ is the angle from the horizontal.

For small angles, sin θ ≈ tan θ.

∑F = -2T tan θ

∑F = -2T (Δy / L)

(b) For a spring, the restoring force is F = -kx, and the frequency is ω = √(k/m).  (This is derived by solving a second order differential equation.)

In this case, k = 2T/L, so the frequency is:

ω = √((2T/L) / m)

ω = √(2T / (mL))

Which action best demonstrates the transformation of mechanical energy to heat energy and light energy?
Vinvika [58]

Well, first off, mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work. In other words, it is energy in an object due to its motion or position, or both. Heat energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases. Light energy is the only form of energy that we can actually see directly. It is formed through chemical, radiation, and mechanical means. Striking a match stick (mechanical energy) creates fire, which has a ton of heat energy, and produces light too, so the answer, is A. I hope i could help!

An image seen in a smooth dinner plate is an example of ____ reflection.
spayn [35]

The correct answer is letter C, regular reflection.

<span>An image seen in a smooth dinner plate is an example of a regular reflection. This phenomenon only occurs in smooth and polished surfaces. During this stage light occurs at a certain angle and is reflected back at the same angle producing reflections in a way like a mirror does this commonly.</span>
