The correct answer is - continental tropical air mass.

If an air mass forms over a land mass, than that air mass is of continental type. Depending on the location of the area where the air masses are forming, they can be cold or warm. In this case, we have an area that is warm, part of which is near the tropics, part bordering with them, thus we will have the formation of a continental tropical air mass.

This type of air masses is characterized by being hot and dry. That results in hot weather, usually with a period of drought, thus very dry. This type of air masses often cause lot of damage to the crops, but also can affect the human health, especially the elderly people.

Answer:

<u>continental tropical air mass</u>

Explanation:

The air mass has the capacity to form over the land and well as the ocean bodies and so does its temperature that remains constant and uniform being located in the tropical zones that are warm and humid and have winds that move form below and are characterized by the most severe weather systems that develop in the coastal areas.

The state of Arizona and Mexico thus experience the warm and dry winds that blow towards the heated lands in summers and move up to the polar areas as described in the figure.

2. The components of vector A are given as follows:

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

50 degree.

Explanation:

Given that the components of vector A are given as follows: Ax = 5.6 Ay = -4.7

The angle between vector A and B in the positive direction of x-axis will be achieved by using the formula:

Tan Ø = Ay/Ax

Substitute Ay and Ax into the formula above.

Tan Ø = -4.7 / 5.6

Tan Ø = -0.839

Ø = tan^-1(-0. 839)

Ø = - 40 degree

Therefore, the angle between vector A and B positive direction of x-axis will be

90 - 40 = 50 degree.

Gayle runs at a speed of 3.85 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After s

enot [183]

Answer:

Final velocity at the bottom of hill is 15.56 m/s.

Explanation:

The given problem can be divided into four parts:

1. Use conservation of momentum to determine the speed of the combined mass (Gayle and sled)

From the law of conservation of momentum (perfectly inelastic collision), the combined velocity is given as:

$p_i = p_f$

$m_1u_1 + m_2v_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v$

$v = \frac{(m_1u_1 + m_2v_2)}{(m_1 + m_2)}$

$v=\frac{[50.0\ kg)(3.85\ m/s) + 0]}{(50.0\ kg + 5.00\ kg)}= 3.5\ m/s$

2. Use conservation of energy to determine the speed after traveling a vertical height of 5 m.

The velocity of Gayle and sled at the instant her brother jumps on is found from the law of conservation of energy:

$E(i) = E(f)$

$KE(i) + PE(i) = KE(f) + PE(f)$

$0.5mv^2(i) + mgh(i) = 0.5mv^2(f) + mgh(f)$

$v(f) = \sqrt{[v^2(i) + 2g(h(i) - h(f))]}$

Here, initial velocity is the final velocity from the first stage. Therefore:

$v(f) = \sqrt{[(3.5)^2+2(9.8)(5.00-0)]}= 10.5\ m/s$

3. Use conservation of momentum to find the combined speed of Gayle and her brother.

Given:

Initial velocity of Gayle and sled is, $u_1(i)=10.5$ m/s

Initial velocity of her brother is, $u_2(i)=0$ m/s

Mass of Gayle and sled is, $m_1=55.0$ kg

Mass of her brother is, $m_2=30.0$ kg

Final combined velocity is given as:

$v(f) = \frac{[m_1u_1(i) + m_2u_2(i)]}{(m_1 + m_2)}$

$v(f)=\frac{[(55.0)(10.5) + 0]}{(55.0+30.0)}= 6.79$ m/s

4. Finally, use conservation of energy to determine the final speed at the bottom of the hill.

Using conservation of energy, the final velocity at the bottom of the hill is:

$E(i) = E(f)$

$KE(i) + PE(i) = KE(f) + PE(f)$

$0.5mv^2(i) + mgh(i) = 0.5mv^2(f) + mgh(f)$

$v(f) = \sqrt{[v^2(i) + 2g(h(i) - h(f))]} \\v(f)=\sqrt{[(6.79)^2 + 2(9.8)(15 - 5.00)]}\\v(f)= 15.56\ m/s$

Core
Home of atoms of hydrogen also the lightest element in the universe.
Radiative Zone
Outside the inner Core it radiates energy through the process of photon emission.
Convection Layer
Outer most Layer of the Core, it extends form a depth of 200,000 kilometres to the visible surface. Energy is created by Convection. This is where light is produced.
Photosphere
Surrounds the stars and is where light and heat radiate.
Chromosphere
Reddish gas layer outside of the photosphere I think it also works with the Corona.
Corona
Aura of Plasma that surrounds the Sun and other stars, it extends millions of kilometres and easily seen during a total eclipse.

What ions are formed when hcl dissolves in water?

Vlad1618 [11]

HCl is a strong electrolyte and when it dissolves in water it separates almost completely into positively - charged hydrogen ions and negatively - charged chloride ions. This aqueous solution is usually called hydrochloric acid.
