What is "lake-effect" and how does it make snow storms worse

Physics

son4ous [18]3 years ago

Is produced during cooler atmospheric conditions when a cold air mass moves across long expanses of warmer lake water. The lower layer of air, heated up by the lake water, picks up water vapor from the lake and rises up through the colder air above; the vapor then freezes and is deposited on the leeward (downwind) shores.[1]

The same effect also occurs over bodies of salt water, when it is termed ocean-effect or bay-effect snow. The effect is enhanced when the moving air mass is uplifted by the orographic influence of higher elevations on the downwind shores. This uplifting can produce narrow but very intense bands of precipitation, which deposit at a rate of many inches of snow each hour, often resulting in a large amount of total snowfall.

The areas affected by lake-effect snow are called snowbelts. These include areas east of the Great Lakes, the west coasts of northern Japan, the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, and areas near the Great Salt Lake, Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Baltic Sea, Adriatic Sea, and North Sea.

A ski lift has a one-way length of 1 km and a vertical rise of200m. The chairs are spaced 20 m apart, and each chair can seatthr
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

a) 68.125 KW

b) 43.04 KW

Explanation:

Distance =d= 1 km

Height = h = 200 m

Spacing between chairs =D= 20 m

No. of people per chair = 3

Speed = V= 10 km/h= 10000m\3600 s=2.8 m/s

mass of chair = 250 kg

Work to operate sky lift

W= mgh

Number of chairs any moment operational = N= 1 km/20=1000m/20=50

So, total mass of chairs = 50 × 250 =12500kg

so, w= mgh=12500×9.8×200=2452500 j

Power is rate of work - we need time for operation time of lift

Time= t = distance/speedf= 1km/(10km/h)=1km/(10 km/3600s)=360s

So, Power P= Work/time=w/t=12500/360=68125 j/s=68.125 KW

Now calculating power for operating speed in 5 sec

We calculate accelleration=a for 5 sec

a= speed / time= V/52.8/5=0.28 m/sec2

for vertical acceleration we calculate θ angle first;

tanθ= height /distance= 200/1000= 0.2

==> θ=11.34°

Vertical acceleration = a₁=a sinθ= 0.28× sin 11.34=0.10835 m/sec2

to calculate height gained during startup use;

S=vit+1/2at2

here s=H

vi=0m/s

t=5 sec

==> H = 0+1/2a₁×t=0.5×0.10835 ×5²=0.5×0.10835×5×5=1.362 m

Total Work =mgH+0.5×m×V²=12500(9.8×1.362+0.5×2.8×2.8)=215240.56 j

Again power = work / time=215240.56/5=43048.112 W=43.04 KW

An electron moving with a velocity = 5.0 × 107 m/s enters a region of space where perpendicular electric and a magnetic fields a
Cloud [144]

Answer:

magnetic field will allow the electron to go through 2 x 10^{4}  T k

Explanation:

Given data in question

velocity = 5.0 × 10^{7}

electric filed = 10^{4}

To find out

what magnetic field will allow the electron to go through, undeflected

solution

we know if electron move without deflection i.e. net force is zero on electron and we can say both electric and magnetic force equal in magnitude and opposite in directions

so we can also say

F(net) = Fe + Fb i.e. = 0

q V B +  q E = 0

q will be cancel out

10^{4}j + 5e + 7i × B =  0

B = 2 x 10^{4}  T k

When conduction electrons pass through a device with resistance, which describes their energy?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

a) their potential energy increases.

Explanation:

Ohm's Law is

R= V/I

Where R= Resistance

V= potential difference or potential energy

I= current or conduction electron flow rate

Clearly R and V are directly proportional i-e Potential energy increases with resistance.

Two objects, A and B, are in contact with one another. Initially, the temperature of A is 50 °C and the temperature of B is 100
V125BC [204]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

because kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature so the hottor the object, the more kinetic energy.
