The number of tornado deaths in the United States in the 2000s was less than 40 percent the number that occurred in the 1950s, e

ven though there was a significant increase in population. Suggest a likely reason for the decline in the death toll.
ALSO..


A television meteorologist is able to inform viewers about the intensity of an approaching hurricane. However, the meteorologist can report the intensity of a tornado only after it has occurred. Why is this the case?

Answer:

Answer

Explanation:

The followings are the reasons for the reduction in  the death toll from Tornadoes occurence in the 2000s compared to 1950s;

(a) Improvement in technology and rapid natural occurence prediction. Through the use of advanced radar systems the early detection of natural occurence e.g tornadoes, providing  warning signal to the residents and tracking their possible pathways is made possible.

Fast spread of information through television channels, Radio, Social media etc., help in fast spreading of information, thereby sending early signals to people thus making them prepare for its occurence.

Improvement of protective measures, provision of housing infrastructure for the displaced. With increase in technology, the protective measures are also improving.

Quick Government and medical interventions for casualties.  Conducting Tornado drills help people to practice to take cover in a specified location during tornadoes.

TV meteorologist are able to inform viewers of the approaching tornadoes and hurricanes  which can be tracked from the time of its origin i.e., from a depression to a storm.  Advanced radar data help in delineating the possible pathways of the hurricane.

Tornadoes on the other hand form in a thunderstorm or during a frontal activity. In thunderstorms there are vortices formed which are pre-cursors of tornadoes.. A vortice when touches the ground forms a tornado. Once a tornado is on the ground it becomes easy for radars to measure windpeeds. Hence a TV meteorologist can report the intensity of the Tornado.

OleMash [197]

Responder:

Fy = 2474,8737

Fx = 2474,8737

Explicación:

Dado que :

Dado:

Fuerza, F = 3500 N

Ángulo formado con la horizontal, θ, = 45 °

Los componentes de una fuerza se pueden descomponer en componentes verticales y horizontales.

El componente vertical Fy; y

El componente horizontal Fx

Fy = Fuerza * sinθ

Fy = 3500 * sin45 °

Fy = 2474,8737

El componente horizontal:

Fx = Fuerza * cosθ

Fy = 3500 * cos45 °

Fy = 2474,8737
