Answer:

R = 0.52 in/h

Explanation:

The rainfall rate (R) can be calculated using the Marshall-Palmer equation:

$R = (\frac{10^{\frac{dBZ}{10}}}{200})^{\frac{5}{8}}$ (1)

The dBZ given is equal to 41, so introducing this valor into the equation (1) we can find the rainfall rate:

$R = (\frac{10^{\frac{41}{10}}}{200})^{\frac{5}{8}} = 13.32 mm/h = 0.52 in/h$

Therefore, the rainfall rate corresponding to an echo of 41 dBZ is 0.52 in/h.

I hope it helps you!

What is the correct equation for calculating the average atomic mass for 3 isotopes? (pls be 100%of your answer pls no guessing)

mariarad [96]

Answer:

The correct equation for measuring the average microscopic weight for 3 isotopes is multiply the rate of abundance by each weight and add them.

Explanation:

To calculate the average microscopic mass of element using weights and relative abundance we have to follow the following steps.

Take the correct weight of each isotope (that will be in decimal form)

Multiply the weight of each isotope by its abundance

Add each of the results together.

This gives the required average microscopic weight of the three isotopes.

A 0.43 kg hammer is moving horizontally at 5.2 m/s when it strikes a nail and comes to rest after driving the nail 0.014 m into

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The duration of the impact is 0.005384 seconds

Explanation:

Given

m = 0.43 kg

v = 5.2 m/s

x = 0.014 m

Knowing the formulas

$v^{2}_{f} = v^{2}_{i} + 2ax\\0 = 5.2^{2} + 2a*0.014\\a = - 965.71 m/s^{2} \\\\vf = vi + at\\0 = 5.2 + (965.71)t\\t = 0.005384 s$

A 0.5-kg ball moving at 5 m/s strikes a wall and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 2 m/s. If the impulse occurs

mart [117]

Given that:

mass of the ball (m) = 0.5 Kg ,

ball strikes the wall (v₁) = 5 m/s ,

rebounds in opposite direction (v₂) = 2 m/s,

time duration (t) = 0.01 s,

Determine the force (F) = ?

We know that from Newton's II law,

F = m. a Newtons

(velocity acting in opposite direction, so a = ( (v₁ + v₂)/t

= m × (v₁ + v₂)/t

= 0.5 × (5 + 2)/0.01

= 350 N

The force acting up on the ball is 350 N

Say you want to make a sling by swinging a mass M of 1.9 kg in a horizontal circle of radius 0.042 m, using a string of length 0

padilas [110]

Answer: T= 715 N

Explanation:

The only external force (neglecting gravity) acting on the swinging mass, is the centripetal force, which. in this case, is represented by the tension in the string, so we can say:

T = mv² / r

At the moment that the mass be released, it wil continue moving in a straight line at the same tangential speed that it had just an instant before, which is the same speed included in the centripetal force expression.

So the kinetic energy will be the following:

K = 1/2 m v² = 15. 0 J

Solving for v², and replacing in the expression for T:

T = 1.9 Kg (3.97)² m²/s² / 0.042 m = 715 N
