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!

A fl oor polisher has a rotating disk that has a 15-cm radius. The disk rotates at a constant angular velocity of 1.4 rev/s and
N76 [4]

Answer:

59.4 meters

Explanation:

The correct question statement is :

A floor polisher has a rotating disk that has a 15-cm radius. The disk rotates at a constant angular velocity of 1.4 rev/s and is covered with a soft material that does the polishing. An operator holds the polisher in one place for 4.5 s, in order to buff an especially scuff ed area of the floor. How far (in meters) does a spot on the outer edge of the disk move during this time?

Solution:

We know for a circle of radius r and θ angle by an arc of length S at the center,

S=rθ

This gives

θ=S/r

also we know angular velocity

ω=θ/t    where t is time

or

θ=ωt

and we know

1 revolution =2π radians

From this we have

angular velocity ω = 1.4 revolutions per sec =  1.4×2π radians /sec = 1.4×3.14×2×= 8.8 radians / sec

Putting values of ω and time t in

θ=ωt

we have

θ= 8.8 rad / sec × 4.5 sec

θ= 396 radians

We are given radius r = 15 cm = 15 ×0.01 m=0.15 m (because 1 m= 100 cm and hence, 1 cm = 0.01 m)

put this value of θ and r  in

S=rθ

we have

S= 396 radians ×0.15 m=59.4 m

Bowen’s reaction series illustrates relations between:
Finger [1]

C. Temperature, chemical composition and mineral structure

Explanation:

The Bowen's reaction series illustrates the relationship between temperature, chemical composition and mineral structure.

The series is made up of a continuous and discontinuous end through which magmatic composition can be understood as temperature changes.

  • The left part is the discontinuous end while the right side is the continuous series.
  • From the series, we understand that a magmatic body becomes felsic as it begins to cool to lower temperature.
  • A magma at high temperature is ultramafic and very rich in ferro-magnesian silicates which are the chief mineral composition of olivine and pyroxene. These minerals are predominantly found in mafic- ultramafic rocks. Also, we expect to find the calcic-plagioclase at high temperatures partitioned in the magma.
  • At a relatively low temperature, minerals with frame work structures begins to form . The magma is more enriched with felsic minerals and late stage crystallization occurs here.

The atmospheric pressure on the top of the Engineering Sciences Building (ESB) is 97.6 kPa, while that in Room G39-ESB (ground f
Stells [14]

Answer:

Δ h = 52.78 m

Explanation:

given,

Atmospheric pressure at the top of building = 97.6 kPa

Atmospheric pressure at the bottom of building = 98.2 kPa

Density of air = 1.16 kg/m³

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

height of the building = ?

We know,

Δ P = ρ g Δ h

(98.2-97.6) x 10³ = 1.16 x 9.8 x Δ h

11.368 Δ h = 600

Δ h = 52.78 m

Hence, the height of the building is equal to 52.78 m.

A van accelerates from 4m/s to 20m/s in 8s. How far does it travel in this time?​
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

96 m

Explanation:

Given,

Initial velocity ( u ) = 4 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time ( t ) = 8 s

Let Acceleration be " a ".

Formula : -

a = ( v - u ) / t

a = ( 20 - 4 ) / 8

= 16 / 8

a = 2 m/s²

Let displacement be " s ".

Formula : -

s = ut + at² / 2

s = ( 4 ) ( 8 ) + ( 2 ) ( 8² ) / 2

= 32 + ( 2 ) ( 64 ) / 2

= 32 + ( 2 ) ( 32 )

= 32 + 64

s = 96 m

Therefore, it travels 96 m in time 8 s.
