How are weather satellites and weather stations similar?

alexandr402 [8]

<span>Weather satellites and weather stations are similar, because they both have the same purpose. They are used to help predict future weather as well as as current conditions. The satellites are viewing the weather from a distance at a large scope, but stations are using data they collect on earth to help with the same task.</span>

What safety measures would you suggest to protect from harmful waves

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

If you're talking about the sun than:

Time, Distance and Shielding Time, distance, and shielding actions minimize your exposure to radiation in much the same way as they would to protect you against overexposure to the sun:

If you're talking about the ocean than:

Water safety precautions for teens and young adults:

Never go into the water if you can’t swim.

If you can’t swim, learn. Any age can receive swimming lessons.

Always wear a life jacket while boating or taking part in boating activities such as tubing or skiing.

Never swim alone or in an unsupervised area.

Know your swimming strength.

Don’t rough house around water. Never push, jump on or hang on to others in or around water.

Never drink alcohol while taking part in water or boating activities. Alcohol affects your motor skills therefore making it harder to swim, float, keep balance or drive.

Answer:

μ = 0.309

Explanation:

coefficient of kinetic friction is defined as the ratio of two forces, friction force and the normal force acting on the object.

θ = arctan(15/100)= 8.531⁰

In the vertical direction:

N = mgcosθ = 100 *9.8 *cos(8.531) = 970N

law of conservation of energy implies

mgsinθ - μNx = 1/2m(v₂²-v₁²)

100*9.8*sin (8.531) - μ(970*2) = 1/2(100)(0²-3²)

150.6 - 1940μ = 450

- 1940μ = -600.6

μ = 0.309

A boy kicks a football from ground level. The ball takes 3 seconds to reach its maximum height. What is the angle of the initial

ruslelena [56]

<h2>The angle of the initial velocity with respect to the horizontal is 85.14°</h2>

Explanation:

Given that the ball takes 3 seconds to reach its maximum height.

Consider the vertical motion of ball till maximum height.

We have equation of motion v = u + at

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

Final velocity, v = 0 m/s

Time, t = 3 s

Substituting

v = u + at

0 = u + -9.81 x 3

u = 29.43 m/s

Initial vertical velocity is 29.43 m/s.

Now consider horizontal motion of ball.

Time of flight of ball = 2 x Time to reach maximum height = 2 x 3 = 6 s

Displacement = 15 m

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Displacement, s = 15 m

Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²

Time, t = 6 s

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

15 = u x 6 + 0.5 x 0 x 6²

u = 2.5 m/s

Initial horizontal velocity is 2.5 m/s

Let r be the initial velocity and θ be the angle with horizontal

Initial vertical velocity = rsinθ = 29.43 m/s

Initial horizontal velocity = rcosθ = 2.5 m/s

Dividing

$\frac{rsin\theta }{rcos\theta }=\frac{29.43}{2.5}\\\\tan\theta=11.77\\\\\theta=85.14^0$

The angle of the initial velocity with respect to the horizontal is 85.14°

Two objects have charges 2.0 C and 1.0 C. If the objects are placed 2 meters apart, what is the magnitude of the force that the

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

$4.5\cdot 10^9 N$

Explanation:

The electric force between two charged objects is given by:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where:

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects

r is their separation

In this problem:

q1 = 2.0 C

q2 = 1.0 C

r = 2 m

So, the electric force is

$F=(9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(2.0 C)(1.0 C)}{(2 m)^2}=4.5\cdot 10^9 N$
