Answer: Tornado

Explanation:

A tornado is a type of wind storm which exhibit a tall funnel shaped column of air. The air spins round very fast in tornado and causes a lot of damage. The powerful wind column makes a wind spiral possibly around a center exhibiting a low atmospheric pressure. These storms are also called as twisters. The objects, trees, buildings and human beings which come in contact with the tornado get affected and destroyed.

You're talking about a <em>tornado</em>.

It's not so much the low pressure that's so dangerous in the center of a tornado.  It's more a matter of the high winds that are <em>caused </em>by the low pressure.

A ball is thrown so that its initial vertical and horizontal components of velocity are 30 m/s and 15 m/s, respectively. Estimat
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

H = 45 m

Explanation:

First we find the launch velocity of the ball by using the following formula:

v₀ = √(v₀ₓ² + v₀y²)

where,

v₀ = launching velocity = ?

v₀ₓ = Horizontal Component of Launch Velocity = 15 m/s

v₀y = Vertical Component of Launch Velocity = 30 m/s

Therefore,

v₀ = √[(15 m/s)² + (30 m/s)²]

v₀ = 33.54 m/s

Now, we find the launch angle of the ball by using the following formula:

θ = tan⁻¹ (v₀y/v₀ₓ)

θ = tan⁻¹ (30/15)

θ = tan⁻¹ (2)

θ = 63.43°

Now, the maximum height attained by the ball is given by the formula:

H = (v₀² Sin² θ)/2g

H = (33.54 m/s)² (Sin² 63.43°)/2(10 m/s²)

<u>H = 45 m</u>

Two coherent sources of radio waves, A and B, are 5.00 meters apart. Each source emits waves with wavelength 6.00 meters. Consid
Korolek [52]

Answer:

a

    z= 2.5 \ m

b

   z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     Their distance apart is  d =  5.00 \ m

      The  wavelength of each source wave \lambda =  6.0 \ m

Let the distance from source A  where the construct interference occurred be z

Generally the path difference for constructive interference is

              z - (d-z) =  m \lambda

Now given that we are considering just the straight line (i.e  points along the line connecting the two sources ) then the order of the maxima m =  0

  so

        z - (5-z) =  0

=>     2 z - 5 =  0

=>     z= 2.5 \ m

Generally the path difference for destructive  interference is

           |z-(d-z)| = (2m + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>         |2z - d |= (0 + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>        |2z - d| =\frac{\lambda}{2}

substituting values

          |2z - 5| =\frac{6}{2}

=>      z  =  \frac{5 \pm 3}{2}

So  

      z =  \frac{5 + 3}{2}

      z =  4\ m

and

      z =  \frac{ 5 -3 }{2}

=>   z =  1 \ m

=>    z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )
