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.

A block lies on a plane raised an angle θ from the horizontal. Three forces act upon the block: F⃗ w, the force of gravity; F⃗ n

Verdich [7]

Answer:

YFy = 0 = Ffsinθ + Fncosθ - Fw

Explanation:

From the base of the vector Fn, draw a vertical line. the small angle between this line and Fn is also theta. The component of Fn in the vertical direction is Fncos(theta).

Take a moment to picture extreme cases. Sine is 0 at 0 and 1 at 90. Cosine is 1 at 0 and 0 at 90.

A typical jet airliner has a cruise airspeed of 900 km/h , which is its speed relative to the air through which it is flying. If

Luba_88 [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the jet airplane with respect to air, $v_{PA} = 900\ km/h$

If the wind at the airliner’s cruise altitude is blowing at 100 km/h from west to east, $v_{AG}= 100\ km/h$

(A) Let $v_{PG}$ is the speed of the airliner relative to the ground if the airplane is flying from west to east,

$v_{PG}=900-100=800\ km/h$

(B) Let $v'_{PG}$ is the speed of the airliner relative to the ground if the airplane is flying from east to west,

$v'_{PG}=900+100=1000\ km/h$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of the following material offers the lowest resistivity?

Yuki888 [10]

Lower resistivity means higher conductivity: among these materials, the best conductor is silver, therefore it must be the material with lowest resistivity among those. We can also have a look at the value of resistivity of the different materials listed in the problem, to check our answer. The resistivities of the materials are the following:
Wood: $1.00\cdot 10^{3} \Omega \cdot m$
Salt water: $2.00\cdot 10^{-1} \Omega \cdot m$
Silver: $1.59\cdot 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m$
Lead: $2.20\cdot 10^{-7} \Omega \cdot m$
<span>We see that the material with lowest resistivity among those is silver, therefore the correct answer is silver.</span>
