Explain why so much tornado activity occurs in the spring season in the great plains region of the united states.

1 answer:

3 0

Tornadoes are more common in the united states than in the other countries. united states received a total of 1,200 tornadoes annually, four times the amount seen in europe. most tornadoes in the united states occur east of the rocky mountains. the great plains, the midwest, the mississippi valley and the southern united states, are all areas that are vulnerable to tornadoes.

If 1.8 amp flows through a 40 ohm resistor, the voltage across the resistor is :

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

72 volts.

Explanation:

To solve this, we have to use the Ohm's law.

The ohm's law tells us that the voltage drop of a resistor is directly proportional to the current applied to the conductor.

$V=I*R$

in this case the current is 1.8 amps and the resistor is 40 ohm

$V=1.8*40$

$V=72 volts$ .

A 1.0 m string with a 5 g stopper on the end is whirled in a vertical circle. The speed of the stopper is 8 m/s at the top of th

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

At the bottom of the circle , the potential energy of the stopper is converted into kinetic energy

1/2 m V² = mg x 2r + 1/2 mv²

m is mass of stopper , V is velocity at the bottom , r is radius of the circular path which is length of the string , v is velocity at the top

1/2 V² = g x 2r + 1/2 v²

V² = g x 4r + v²

V² = 9.8 x 4 + 8²

V² = 103.2

V = 10.16 m/s

B )

If T be the tension at the top

Net downward force

= mg + T . This force provides centripetal force for the circular motion

mg +T = mv² / r

T = mv²/r -mg

= m ( v²/r - g )

= .005 ( 8²/1 -g )

= .005 x 54.2

= .27 N .

C ) At the bottom

Net force = T - mg , T is tension at the bottom , V is velocity at bottom

T-mg = mV²/r

T = m ( V²/r +g )

= .005 ( 10.16²/1 +9.8)

= .005 x 113

= .56 N .

A watermelon is dropped from the top of a 80m tall building. We want to find the velocity of the watermelon after it falls for 1

White raven [17]

Answer:

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = 13.23 m/s$

Explanation:

Height Of the watermelon when it is dropped is given as

$h = 80 m$

time of fall under gravity

$t = 1.35 s$

now if water melon start from rest then we have

$v_i = 0$

acceleration due to gravity for watermelon

$a = 9.81 m/s^2$

now we need to find the final speed of watermelon

$v_f = v_i + at$

so we will have

$v_f = 0 + (9.81)(1.35)$

$v_f = 13.23 m/s$

A proton moves through a magnetic field at 20.3 % of the speed of light. At a location where the field has a magnitude of 0.0062

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Force on the proton will be $.73\times 10^{-14}N$

Explanation:

We have given speed of proton is 20.3% of speed of light

Speed of light $c=3\times 10^8m/sec$

So speed of proton $v=\frac{3\times 10^8\times 23}{100}=6.9\times 10^7m/sec$

Magnetic field B = 0.00629 T

Charge on proton $q=1.6\times 10^{-16}C$

Angle between velocity and magnetic field $\Theta =137^{\circ}$

Force on the proton is equal to $F=qvBsin\Theta =1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 6.9\times 10^7\times 0.00629\times sin(137^{\circ})=4.73\times 10^{-14}N$

Which statement correctly describes the reactivity of noble gases, according to the octet rule? Their atoms have eight electrons

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct option is : Their atoms have eight electrons in their valence shells, so noble gases are very unreactive.

Explanation:

The octet rule state that atoms tend to complete their last energy levels with eight electrons, and that this configuration make them very stable and unreactive.

Noble gases are characterized as unreactive atoms, and this is associated with the fact that they have a complete valence shell, it means that they have eight electrons on it (they follow the octet rule).

Atoms with less electrons on their valence shells tend to react with another atom, forming bonds, to complete their valence shells (with eight electrons).
