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.
The easiest way to build a unit for energy is to remember that
'work' is energy, and
Work = (force) x (distance).
So energy is (unit of force) x (unit of distance)
[Energy] = (Newton) (meter) .
'Newton' itself is a combination of base units, so
energy is really
(kilogram-meter/sec²) (meter)
= kilogram-meter² / sec² .
That unit is so complicated that it's been given a special,
shorter name:
Joule .
It doesn't matter what kind of energy you're talking about.
Kinetic, potential, nuclear, electromagnetic, food, chemical,
muscle, wind, solar, steam ... they all boil down to Joules.
And if you generate, use, transfer, or consume 1 Joule of
energy every second, then we say that the 'power' is '1 watt'.
“Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes, and almost never changes the number of chromosomes.” -Wikipedia
Answer:
x = 6.94 m
Explanation:
For this exercise we can find the speed at the bottom of the ramp using energy conservation
Starting point. Higher
Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m g h
Final point. Lower
= K = ½ m v²
Em₀ = Em_{f}
½ m v₀² + m g h = ½ m v²
v² = v₀² + 2 g h
Let's calculate
v = √(1.23² + 2 9.8 1.69)
v = 5.89 m / s
In the horizontal part we can use the relationship between work and the variation of kinetic energy
W = ΔK
-fr x = 0- ½ m v²
Newton's second law
N- W = 0
The equation for the friction is
fr = μ N
fr = μ m g
We replace
μ m g x = ½ m v²
x = v² / 2μ g
Let's calculate
x = 5.89² / (2 0.255 9.8)
x = 6.94 m
