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.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

First law: kinetic energy is used to turn an electric generator

Second law: some thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is known as the law of conservation of energy. It states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, the kinetic energy of the steam is used to turn the electric generator (thereby producing electrical energy).

The second law of thermodynamics states that energy transfer or transformation leads to an increase in entropy resulting in the loss of energy. This law also states that as energy is transferred or transformed, some is lost in a form that is unusable. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, some of the thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system.

Please help
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

3200 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of Sound through Argon is 319.

The speed of sound in any chemical element in the fluid phase has one temperature-dependent value. In the solid phase, different types of sound wave may be propagated, each with its own speed: among these types of wave are longitudinal (as in fluids), transversal, and (along a surface or plate) extensional.

If argon could exist as solid, then 3200 m/s is the best speed.
